Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch (This Hour Has 22 Minutes) and created by Critch and Tim McAuliffe (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, The Office (U.S), Last Man on Earth, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), Son of a Critch is the hilarious and very real story of a young Mark coming of age in St. John’s, Newfoundland. It’s a heartfelt window into the life of a child - much older inside than his young years - using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world.

A CBC original comedy, SON OF A CRITCH is created by Mark Critch and Tim McAuliffe (The Office, Last Man on Earth and MacGruber) and produced by Andrew Barnsley (Schitt’s Creek). The series is an inter-provincial co-production between Barnsley’s Project 10 Productions Inc. and Newfoundland-based Take the Shot Productions in association with CBC and Lionsgate Television, and is executive produced by Critch, McAuliffe, Barnsley, Ben Murray and Allan Hawco. Renuka Jeyapalan and Anita Kapila serve as co-executive producers with Jeyapalan directing the first four episodes of the series.
