So a ghost walks into a bar … How a Winnipeg comedian developed a passion for the paranormal
Winnipeg comedian Big Daddy Tazz has a secret life that doesn’t include cracking wise and goofing around for audiences.
In that secret life, his audiences are ghosts and spirits.
Tazz, known for his work as a stand-up comedian across the country, is also a passionate paranormal investigator and ghost-hunting enthusiast who works with the Winnipeg Paranormal Group.
His two passions — comedy and paranormal investigations — are compatible, he said.
“I love to be challenged and I want to know more about the unknown. It drives me. And I love making people laugh,” said Tazz.
“When you’re laughing you can’t be sad, and you can’t be angry, and you can’t be alone.”
Tazz reveals the childhood haunting that sparked his paranormal passion in a new short documentary.
The film was produced by Van Cung Nung, 19, Tristan Legaspi, 18, and Ethan Langit, 18, who are all post-high students in the Create program at Sisler High School in Winnipeg. The post-high program trains students in the creative digital arts, including filmmaking.
The short documentary was produced as part of CBC Manitoba’s Project POV: Sisler Create, an ongoing video storytelling collaboration.
Meet the filmmakers
Van Cung Nung loves filmmaking and multimedia arts. He is into camera operation, video editing, motion graphics and graphic design. Proficient in software like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and DaVinci Resolve, his goal is to create captivating visual content in the film and media industry.
Ethan Langit is a filmmaker and a self-taught musician, specializing in storytelling, editing and sound design. He uses his technical knowledge of music production to make his films sound theatre ready. He loves working collaboratively with other people and thrives in the company of other creatives.
Tristan Legaspi got into filmmaking in Grade 9 and has stuck with it ever since. Filmmaking is a core part of his life. He finds every facet of production meaningful and engaging. In particular, Tristan loves editing for hours and shooting all sorts of angles. Outside of film, Tristan enjoys going to the gym, watching all kinds of media and taking a nice nap.
