It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken

The Tragically Hip have played an important part in Canadian cultural, Canadian Music History and to the City of Kingston itself.

Recently (August 22, 2026), many of us watched the Ten Year Anniversary rebroadcast of the final Tragically Hip show on CBC. The Hip have always valued family, and community and country and those are values that we hold dear as well.

Set in Kingston and featuring the music of The Tragically Hip, It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken is a new Canadian musical about love, belonging, and the places that stay with us.

Clean Comfort Home Improvements is thrilled to be a Main Stage Sponsor of the upcoming Kingston performance of It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken.

Don’t miss your chance to see this performance in The Hip’s hometown.

Featuring iconic songs including “Bobcaygeon“, “Ahead by a Century“, “New Orleans Is Sinking“, “Wheat Kings“, “Grace, Too“, “Blow at High Dough” and “Courage”.
