Fun fact

The woman delivering Letterkenny's most unrepeatable lines is a Governor General's Award–nominated playwright who studied criminology before she studied theatre.

The verdict

Gail of Letterkenny, and a serious playwright when she isn't propositioning the entire town. Her play Cast Iron — a one-woman show about her Barbadian roots — was up for a Governor General's Award, and Up the Garden Path took the Carol Bolt Award. Studied at the University of Winnipeg. Born, raised, five points.
