THUNDER BAY – The founder of Crickets Comedy Club is standing by his decision to host the Danger Cats comedy show on May 3 and 4.“They are more of a shock comedy-type group. We bring in comics that some people like, other people don't.
He said they also apologized for an insult in a roast battle that included a reference to the deceased Indigenous children found in unmarked graves at residential schools. “They have apologized but an apology isn't good enough. People want to stand in the corner with picket signs screaming racism." “We are doing a comedy show - if you like it, show up. If you don't, you don't have to. But comedy is subjective,” said Mulawyshyn, who said he’s never seen Danger Cats perform.
“I can't comment on regular performances by these individuals as I have not seen regular performances. Torontow pointed out that Diversity Thunder Bay recently held its United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, where Chief Cadmus Delorme spoke about “helium humour.”
