A variety show with a twist: a celebrity guest get to attend their own memorial service – an entertaining send-off filled with eulogies and some gentle ribbing.

What to expect: interviews, musical performances, a fierce band, surprising stories and most of all, guests who are more than happy to play along and follow Éric Salvail on his beautifully crazy tangents!
