Another Year Of The Farce

Movie / Show Details

Two of Royal Canadian Air Farce’s most-requested shows! Together, it’s sixty-six minutes of Air Farce – fast, fresh and funny! Canada’s favourite comedy troupe (winners of Canada’s Viewers Choice Award at both the 2000 and 2001 Gemini Awards) Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson and Luba Goy, take one more look back at 2001, with a whack at Osama bin Laden, George W. Bush’s cross-border memory loss, Keith Richards’ Napster rap, Harry Potter-mania, and satellite time delays at CNN. Plus special guest stars Sean Cullen, Sheila McCarthy, Patrick McKenna and Sonja Smits team up for a fast-paced strafe of all things topical, tacky or tedious in this annual roundup of the year’s funniest. A 44-minute laugh-filled Tour de Farce, it’s the original hit TV special that kicked off 2002. Plus This Special Bonus Show: Canada – A Mildly Informative, Not Overly-Long People’s History is Air Farce’s celebrated send-up of the ground- breaking CBC Television series Canada: A People’s History. It’s the story of our country told with inspired lunacy, packed into just 22 minutes. History becomes hysterical, with guest stars Graham Greene and Rex Murphy, and the original Air Farce foursome, including John Morgan as Mike from Canmore. The Royal Canadian Air Farce is a comedy troupe best known for their radio and television series which were broadcast in Canada by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Although their weekly radio and television series are no longer in production, the troupe are still active through an annual New Year’s Eve special on CBC Television.
