His memoir 'Son of a Critch: A Childish Newfoundland Memoir,' published in 2021, became a national bestseller and was adapted into a coming-of-age CBC comedy-drama series of the same name, which premiered in 2022 and depicts his childhood growing up in St. John's in the 1980s and 1990s. The show has been praised for its warm, authentic portrayal of Newfoundland family life. Critch is also known for his affection for his hometown and his willingness to champion Newfoundland culture on the national stage.

His career exemplifies the pipeline from Newfoundland's strong comedy tradition into Canadian broadcast culture that stretches from CODCO through 22 Minutes and beyond.
