Son of a Critch 1×09 exclusive clip: Mark auditions of the Easter play

Son of a Critch, the #1 scripted drama on CBC, made its U.S. broadcast debut on The CW in July. The series, which is based on the award-winning bestselling memoir by Mark Critch, is set in the ’80s when a young Mark is coming of age. Described as a heartfelt look into the preteen’s life, the show centers on the 11 year old’s struggle with feeling older than he is, his penchant for using comedy and self-deprecation to garner friendships, and the connections he makes with the people in his life.

The series has been renewed for a third season, which will be co-produced by The CW, but its journey stateside is in its freshman year. Over half the season is gone and, in its time on the US network, Son of the Critch has become The CW’s #1 Monday night comedy and sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Its next episode, the ninth in a season of 12, premieres Monday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET. Titled, “Acting Normal,” the episode follows Mark during production on his school’s Easter play. His place in the production is a new opportunity for him and his father to bond, but when he’s fired, Mark does everything in his power to keep his dad believing he’s in the play so as not to lose his affection.

Below, you’ll find an exclusive clip from “Acting Normal” showing Mark’s audition and Fox’s continued attempt to embarrass him which lands her closer to Mark than she wanted.
