Milton Mayor Gord Krantz is putting himself in the crosshairs of comedic barbs in the name of charity.

Newly-minted as the longest-serving mayor of a major Canadian municipality, Krantz will be the man of the hour at Milton Transitional Housing's April Fools' Day fundraiser.

The Comedy Roast of Mayor Gord Krantz will feature a panel of guests who will take turns comically trashing the town’s chief magistrate before he takes to the microphone to have the last word.

Proceeds from the roast will boost Milton Transitional Housing, a not-for-profit organization that assists community residents experiencing a housing crisis.
