CBC WINNIPEG COMEDY FESTIVAL
Almost without exception, any relationship benefits from some air of mystery, yet that’s a vanishing commodity in a modern culture where virtually everything — what we eat, where we go, how we feel, even how we make love (via the occasional “accidentally” leaked private video) — gets splashed across Facebook, Twitter and other social-media platforms. Shaun Majumder hosts the season finale, Too Much Information, a laugh-filled hour of standup comedy that explores the awkwardness that comes with oversharing. (CBC)
