Derek Miller to host late-night variety series called Guilt Free Zone

Juno award-winning artist Derek Miller is hosting a new late-night variety series called Guilt Free Zone beginning Jan. 6 on APTN at 10 p.m. ET/MT. It promises the “hippest” Aboriginal musical artists “no-hold-barred” monologues, “provocative” dance and comedy performances, all rolled into one “edgy” Tuesday evening event. Shot in Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton, Regina and Winnipeg in front of live studio audiences, Guilt Free will expose viewers to new talent and open conversation about often taboo topics like sex and guilty pleasures. Performers this season include Inez Jasper, Jayli Wolf, hip hop artist Plex, comedian Lucas Jacko, Brendt Thomas Diablo, burlesque dancer Miss Lou Lou la Duchesse de Riere, Craig James Laur, Night Switch, The Snake Oil Salesmen, Ali Fontaine and Leonard Sumner. Derek Miller opens up the topic about legalizing marijuana, but also wonders if there is truth to the rumour that marijuana causes the dreaded man-boob. “Guilt Free Zone” is produced by Big Soul, an Aboriginal owned and operated television and film production company.
