Comedian Ben Bankas started to gain notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic when he parodied Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Theresa Tam. “You need to fall in line,” he says in one of his viral videos, using an exaggerated Chinese accent. “You need to listen to your woke white neighbour who wear a mask and make her five-year-old child wear a mask even though he don’t understand why. She’s a hero.”
Ben Bankas is blessed with comedy material right now.
He has so many jokes about Somalis that 6 sold out shows in Minneapolis were cancelled.
