Toronto actors, writers and comedians Christian Smith and Natalie Metcalfe have been doing comedy together for the past five years.Having been in a relationship for the last three years, Smith and Metcalfe found themselves spending even more time alone together when the pandemic hit, and the resulting content came fast and furious.“We’re all living in a sad time right now in this world so, I think satire is key,” said Metcalfe.With Toronto theatres and film and TV production sets closed, Smith and Metcalfe, like so many other actors, found themselves out of work.
But that didn’t mean they couldn’t write and produce their own content.The pair started up a YouTube channel, “Christian & Nat,” featuring more than a dozen pandemic-themed.
