Great Canadians! - Gizmo1
This is a fabulous documentary about Canadian comics who have made it big. While I am a huge comedy fan, especially when it comes to stand up, I really never realized how much fabulous comedic talent our country has produced. I knew that all of these stars are Canadian, but until I saw them all presented together, it didn't really hit me how many terrific comedians our country has contributed. This film interviews some of the greats, old and new, and looks into the roots of their comic beginnings, successes and failures along the way, as well as who helped them to make it big. This is a must see for comedy fans in Canada!
