Our first livestream talk show episode of May promises to be an exciting one with a very special guest: Edmonton-based MLA, Janis Irwin. The impassioned politician will chat with co-hosts Dan Clapson, Mairlyn Smith and Carmen Cheng about her love of Edmonton's many restaurants as well as her efforts to champion diversity and inclusivity through her work with the Alberta government.

Halifax musician Gizelle de Guzman will also pop by to perform an acoustic version of her new single "Almost Home" before chatting with the crew about life on the East Coast during the pandemic.

Variety Pack airs weekly on Thursdays at 7 p.m. MST / 9 p.m. ET on YouTube Live.
