Currently, Pepper is pursuing a significant entrepreneurial venture: opening his own bagel shop in Montreal. He shares behind-the-scenes updates about this project on his YouTube channel. The process has faced delays and criticism, prompting him to release an episode of his web series, 'How to Open a Business in Montreal When It Seems Like No One Wants You to Open a Business in Montreal—Especially the City', addressing concerns regarding merchandise sales before the bagels are available. Despite these challenges, he emphasizes that this is a real business venture and expresses frustration with those criticizing the delays. He has been paying rent for an empty space for over a year while preparing the shop, and announced bad news regarding the project in July 2026.

Beyond his bagel shop endeavor, Pepper continues to work as a comedian and is touring live in 2026-2027. The tour includes performances in major U.S. cities and theaters, with showtimes and routing varying by venue, and additional markets potentially being added throughout the year. The tour commenced on November 4, 2026, and concludes on December 4, 2026. Ticket prices fluctuate based on demand and seating location. He thanks supporters of his project and continues to deliver performances that resonate with audiences across Quebec and beyond.
