HALF-HOUR / SKETCH COMEDY

Running from October 2000 to January 2002 PIERRE CANUCK injected the zany, long-form, socio-political, elements of Monty Python into the best traditions of Canadian parody and satire. 20 years of sketch comedy burst onto TVs continent wide in this hilarious, fast-paced, half-hour of biting comedy starring Barry Saip and Gary Davidson, with moments of pre-taped crazyness supplied by Rovin Basi, Melody Kimmel, Rick Yaeger, Jessica McArthur, Susan Prosser, Trudette and whoever else they could goad into things.
