Canadian comedian Martin Short's daughter, Katherine, dead at 42 - CBC

After premiering the show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and touring across Australia’s biggest comedy festivals—including Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth—Josh is taking Jiggle, Jiggle on the road for international audiences. Josh started doing stand-up comedy 20 years ago and quickly became a mainstay of the Australian comedy scene. Since then, he has lost three celebrity cooking shows, failed at Celebrity Splash and Taskmaster, and cured Bob Katter’s homophobia, among many other achievements. His critically acclaimed TV shows, Please Like Me and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, were international sensations. They dealt with lots of important “issues” but this year he just wants to be silly.

Hindy, 35, recalled in the video that she had a "warm, loving, sisterly relationship" with 51-year-old Handler after they worked together on tour in 2022, and as part of a special performance at the Just for Laughs Festival in Canada that year.
