If you haven’t watched it, check out Still Standing for a fascinating look at Canadiana. Jonny Harris also stars in Murdoch Mysteries (another great Canadian show; check it out) where he’s my favourite character. Jonny is a comedian who travels to small Canadian towns that are struggling. He interviews residents, sees the sights and gets to know the town, the people their uniqueness and their struggles.
We’re in season 1 where he’s been to Coleman, Alberta, and Lytton, B.C., which was later wiped out in a wild fire. I see that in a few seasons he’ll visit Dawson City, Yukon. We were there recently and I imagine he’ll sample the famous sour-toe cocktail. (I’m one of the 115,000 club members.)
Jonny puts together a stand-up comedy show for the locals. I won’t give it away but I love how he ends each show with the same theme. Solid 9/10.
