Megan Myke

As a comedian and single mother from Hamilton Megan Myke absolutely dominates “Sad Girl Bingo.” She started comedy 13 years ago in Toronto before taking a break to ruin her life. Now back, she speaks on topics ranging from spelling to parenthood to unrelenting nerdiness through a lens that is equal parts dirty and silly.
