12:00 – A Winnipeg comedian is performing next week in his hometown of Saskatoon, and he’s got an interesting angle to his comedy: mental health. Big Daddy Tazz, who styles himself ‘The Bi-Polar Buddha,’ has struggled with a number of mental health issues including bi-polar disorder, until he realized he could use his issues to enhance his life rather than destroy it. Tazz, who has performed for audiences all over North America and once set the world record for the longest stand-up comedy set (8 1/2 hours!), joins Gormley to tell us about his journey with mental health and why he’s made his own recovery a part of his act.
