Ali Hassan Comes to the Eastern Townships

Join us on Bishop’s University campus on Thursday, March 14 for a very distinct speaker indeed!

Ali Hassan – standup comedian, actor and broadcaster – joins us for an illuminating talk about his memoir, Is there Bacon in Heaven? Throughout the talk, Hassan navigates themes of identity, belonging, self-doubt, family and health through deft and comedic storytelling. The book, published by Simon & Schuster in 2022, was described by Rick Mercer as “perhaps the funniest and most heartfelt Canadian memoir yet.” This event takes place on March 14 at 6 pm in Bandeen Hall on Bishop’s University Campus, with a Q&A and a free reception after the event for attendees. Books will be available for purchase, but transactions are cash only. Sponsored by the Ogden Glass Lecture Series and the Speakers’ Committee.
