Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by legendary Canadian comedian, broadcaster, television host, and performer Lisa-Gay Tremblay to celebrate the release of her hilarious new comedy album, Unretired.
Released on Canada Day, Unretired finds Lisa-Gay at her funniest, most fearless, and most authentic as she reflects on life, aging, politics, reinvention, and why starting over at 67 years old can be the greatest punchline of all.
A true trailblazer in Canadian comedy, Lisa-Gay made history as the first Canadian woman to perform at the Just For Laughs Festival, helping open doors for generations of female comedians. Throughout her remarkable career, she's shared the stage with comedy legends including Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Jim Carrey, Rodney Dangerfield, Dana Carvey, and entertainment icons k.d. lang, Dionne Warwick, and Mel Tormé.
Lisa-Gay also hosted CBC's live Canada Day celebration from Parliament Hill in both English and French, becoming a familiar face to audiences across the country. After decades performing in New York and Los Angeles—and even serving two elected terms in municipal politics—she's returned to Canada with a fresh perspective and some of the strongest material of her career.
