From England, the Land of William Shakespeare,
to Canada, the Land of William Shatner.

Chris Gibbs first came to Canada in 1995. Since then he's moved to Canada permanently, married a Canadian, and made a Canadian. He's met a Canadian who apologised for saving his life, been given more advice on bear avoidance than anyone could possibly need, and has spent more time than strictly necessary wondering what it really means to 'drop your accent.'.

In case it's not clear, this is a stand-up comedy show about Canadians, by someone who isn't one.


History
Under its original title 'Gibberish', this show was performed across Canada in 2002, and in many festivals since then. Tired of having to explain the pronunciation of the title, Gibbs changed the name of the show in 2014. See the reviews page to see just how much time the reviewers of Canada have spent trying to explain the pronunciation of the show too. The guy from the Edmonton Sun even used the word 'onomastician'!
