Not Quite Sherlock

Chris Gibbs—Rio – Portage Place

I am somewhat stunned that it was all the way back in 2005 that Chris Gibbs brought the original version of this show, then called Antoine Feval, to the Winnipeg Fringe. He has not lost his touch as he still keeps the audience laughing (a lot) with his masterful and often punchy word play. The story follows main character Barnaby Gibbs, who is almost completely clueless and very naive, and who has been taken in by a criminal who pretends to be a great detective in order to cover up his crimes. Gibbs easily moves between the various characters and it is a fun story with a great ending.
