Off-Island Odyssey

Written and performed by Justin Shaw

Solo Comedy | World Premiere

August 2 – 30 | Opens August 2 

Horse manure. Drama school. A trailer in the oil sands.

Imagine Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe crossed with Netflix’s Mike Birbiglia, and you’ve got Justin Shaw’s approach to leaving home, made painfully funny.

A hilarious, homesick journey through a lifetime spent away from the family horse farm — and the realization every Maritimer eventually has: you can end up nothing like your parents and still carry their love around with you wherever you go.

After selling out his Blyth debut last Christmas, the Prince Edward Island comedian returns with a brand-new show co-commissioned by the Blyth Festival and The Charlottetown Festival.
