Not Quite Sherlock: The Gaslight Detective
Written & Performed by Chris Gibbs Chris Gibbs - Toronto, ON

London, 1896. Checking on a friend's house, Barnaby Gibbs finds a man dressed in black, holding a bag of jewelry, writing a poem about sapphires. Any reasonable man would see that this must be the notorious cat burglar known as the Rhyming Bandit! Fortunately, Gibbs is not a reasonable man. And when the stranger declares he is in fact the brilliant detective Antoine Feval, a new crime-fighting duo is born.

Not Quite Sherlock: The Gaslight Detective

Chris Gibbs—MTYP – Mainstage

This year is a fortunate one for Fringers as some well beloved pros return after far too long an absence. I was so tickled to be able to see veteran actor Chris Gibbs reprise his role of self-effacing and ever so gullible Barnaby Gibbs. Chris is charismatic as he frequently breaks the fourth wall to engage in humorous banter with the audience. Set in 1896, this farce of a detective story is so entertaining that I’m sure once you enjoy this you’ll definitely be in for part two, Not Quite Sherlock : The Tunnel of Terror, also at this year’s Fringe. I already have my ticket.
