December 27, 2021 Andrew Buss Features, In Memoriam, News
Some sad news coming out of up North. Canadian comedian Candy Palmater has died at the age of 53. No cause of death has been given, but she previously shared that she was as diagnosed with a rare disease called eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Palmater is perhaps best known for the self-titled The Candy Show, which she created in 2010 and aired on APTN. She also co-hosted the morning program The Social. International comedy fans, however, would probably best recognize her for her work on the 2016 Netflix incarnation of Trailer Park Boys. Palmater also made additional acting appearances on Forgive Me, Sex & Violence, and Run the Burbs.
Palmater is survived by her wife/manager, Denise Tompkins. "I have few words," Tompkins wrote on Instagram. "Candy passed away today at home suddenly. I will post information soon."
