Still Standing Renewed

Still Standing, Jonny Harris
Still Standing, Jonny Harris

CBC today announced the renewal of the acclaimed original series Still Standing. Starring comedian Jonny Harris and winner of the 2016 Canadian Screen Award for Best Factual Series, Still Standing has been renewed for a third season (13 x 30). Production is currently underway.

Still Standing – Season 2 continues with all-new episodes Tuesdays at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT)

Still Standing follows Canadian comedian Jonny Harris (Murdoch Mysteries) as he explores the country, veering off the main highway to discover the hidden comedy in Canada’s far-flung small towns. Each week, Jonny takes a hilarious and heart-warming journey to find humour in the unlikeliest of places — small towns on the ropes. After immersing himself in the lives of local characters and unearthing the tall tales in these tiny towns, Jonny delivers a rousing original stand-up comedy routine — a toast, not a roast — for the whole community. Upcoming episodes include a visit to Canada’s most northerly mosque in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, sharp-shooting with a former Olympian in Omemee, Ontario, and welcoming a recently-arrived Syrian family in Mabou, Nova Scotia.

Baroness Von Sketch Show Renewed

baroness1CBC today announced the renewal of its acclaimed original all-female sketch comedy series Baroness Von Sketch Show (6 x 30), which made its debut in June. Baroness Von Sketch Show has been renewed for season 2 (7 x 30) and will begin production this fall.

Baroness Von Sketch Show is an all-female, single-camera sketch comedy series that takes a fresh look at the world’s narcissistic contemporary culture. Fast-paced and irreverent, the series celebrates the absurd, mines the embarrassing and satirizes daily lives. Drawing on 15 years of comedy experience and multiple collaborations, the award-winning, talented team of Carolyn Taylor, Meredith MacNeill, Aurora Browne and Jennifer Whalen are the writers, stars and executive producers.
