FREEDOM 55! (A Canadian comedian’s perspective)
- Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Today is my 55th birthday. Which feels weird to write because, I still feel like I’m 33. Except when I have to go up a large flight of stairs, at which point I feel like I’m about 66. And my wife would say that I have the mentality of a 13 year old. Which all averages out to 37.3333334. So really, I’m closest in my estimation. Point is, I’m not sure exactly what 55 SHOULD look like. The only real point of references for me are old “Freedom 55” commercials from London Life insurance that I remember watching when I was in my twenties and thinking “wow, 55 looks ollllllld”. And to be fair, 55 year olds DO look old to people in their twenties. And apparently parents look even older to their children who aren’t in their teens yet (my youngest daughter says I look like I’m about 76).
"So, as I turn 55 today, I say thanks to all those who have laughed with me over the years."
