THE 70 MILE YARD SALE
(2024 Charlottetown Festival, Here For Now Theatre, Theatre YYC, Theatre Orangeville)
Inspired by Prince Edward Island's 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale, comedian and storyteller Justin Shaw shares a story about a madcap journey across Prince Edward Island to retrieve a lost family heirloom. Equal parts funny and heartfelt, this tall tale is about family, friendship, and finding more than what you bargained for.

This show was also the inspiration for the Bell Fibe TV1 series Tales From Island Boy.
A CREATURE IS STIRRING
(2024 Live @ The Centre, Blyth Festival Theatre, Aylmer Performing Arts)

This comedy is about a Maritimer’s first Christmas on the mainland, and the boiling pressures of dealing with a rodent problem in his apartment. It’s Mousehunt meets Dave Cooks The Turkey (and if you get that reference - this is the show for you!)
