Chris Gibbs has been unqualified for many jobs… he was an overweight acrobat, a private school English teacher whose only qualification was a British accent, and a Titanic Museum re-enactor fired after one day for ‘adding a few jokes’. Then he found himself in the most difficult, most important job of all… fatherhood.
A stand-up comedy show that playfully explores the fears, worries and surprises of being a new father, and the absolute terror of wanting to be a good one.
History
The show premiered at the 2009 Toronto Fringe Festival,
where it won Patron's Pick. It then played to sell-out
houses at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival (and would
have won the best of fest, apparently, but Chris had
to go to Just For Laughs. Just saying.) He was later
invited to perform it at the 2010 Next Stage Theatre
Festival, and then in the 2010 Uno Festival. In April
2010 Chris performed an excerpt for the "True
Stories And Other Lies" gala at the CBC Winnipeg
Comedy Festival. Then the show sold out and was
held over at the Edmonton Fringe Festival. Since then
the show has toured extensively across Canada and
continues to do so...
