Wing explores the many faces of irony, self-criticism, his ambiguous background, the ambiguity of being at heart a Canadian but living in the US. Humour is at the heart of Wing’s concerns, but as a professional comedian, he knows that below the laugh is a huge hurt, almost pain. And, he is always willing to expose himself to others. That is what he does night-in, night-out!
