Still Standing

We are absolutely enjoying this brilliant comedy show that is educating us about townsfolk and their towns all across Canada. Jonny Harris, if you conceived this idea, my hats off to you. One of the best shows we have ever had the pleasure to watch. Please come to America and do the same sometime. Your ability to create empathetic humor from the stories and lives of these people is heartwarming, original and laugh out loud funny. Awesome! More! More! More!

I love this show! I didn't discover it until last year (which was its fourth season) but I am a card carrying fan, now. Jonny Harris, a b'y from Newfoundland with a corny sense of humour visits small towns all over Canada, and introduces us to their zest for life that defies hard times and celebrates good times. He combines stand-up and light-hearted interviews and leads us all to laugh at ourselves. If you want to know what is at the heart of a Canadian, this show is for you. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10 and encourage you to find it and watch it. {Comedy from Life}. Available on CBC Gem, a free streaming service.

Many reviews have mentioned this, and I have to agree that it makes you want to travel across Canada and visit all of these small towns. Charming show.

Jonny does an awesome job showing off small town Canada with humor, grace and a bit of sass along the way. A magical mix of history, often tragedy or catastrophe, and the power of the human spirit...comedian Jonny Harris (whom we LOVE from Murdoch Mysteries) shows what the strength of community and the power of laughter can do to turn the fortunes of hard-up and often forgotten small towns and villages around. The townsfolk are characterful, the locations are often breathtaking (we started a bucket list of places to visit) and Jonny is a hoot! That man will give anything a try...from trick riding to gymnastics and bull riding to belly dancing. And his stand up routine is hilarious while still showcasing the town in the best possible way. Go on Jonny!

Found this on Amazon in the UK, a thoroughly enjoyable and nice reality TV show.
