Jory Nash has a hat collection that numbers in the hundreds and he is also a long-suffering fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
THE COINCIDENCE MEN
The Coincidence Men" make things up for comedy improv audiences. TCM are Kerry Griffin, Rob Hawke, Ralph MacLeod, Gord Oxley and Marcel St. Pierre, all respected vets of Toronto's improv, sketch and comedy "scene". 2 of them are sometimes known as the sketch-comedy-Gemini-Award winning comedy duo "Fast n Dirty". 3 of them have been observed as shortform improv juggernaut "The Gee Spots". 3 of them were the founding alumni and creative force behind "The Bad Dog Theatre Company". 3 of them are Second City alum while the other 2 are known to run "The Social Capital Theatre". 100 years of collective improv experience between them, and a bunch of comedy awards and nominations. They do long form. They do shortform. They do shlongform. Audience laughter happens. But that is really just a coincidence.
