In my last editorial, I described 2022 as a ‘year of culture’ with the hopes that artists and creatives would take back to the stages, microphones, and soapboxes throughout the city. I certainly didn’t predict that our country would be in the red two days after sending our February issue to print. With this changing of the proverbial traffic signal, many events I promoted have now been cancelled or postponed until a time of certainty – when that is, nobody knows. So, this month’s Culture Club listings look slightly different, but one of them (Boosted) is a vital lifeline to many of the people who make us laugh, dance, sing, and sometimes cry. I encourage you to check it out. Many are performing smaller gigs, and their work is still available online. It’s up to us to keep these people bringing colour to our lives. Aside from that, I’ve reviewed a film to make you proud of the potential of humanity, a perfectly distracting podcast, and an impeccably made television series – not for the faint of heart.
