This week on Now or Never, go backstage with ordinary Canadians about to take a big risk, putting themselves out there in a public performance. You'll meet a guy who's stripping down to his undies on a theatre stage and find out why he's encouraging his audience to ask questions about his naked body. Ify Chiwetelu will muster up the courage to busk for the first time — even though she's only been playing the guitar for a week. And you'll find out why one guy wants to celebrate his 50th birthday by playing the piano and then setting it on fire.
