Thirteen new hilarious episodes are on tap for Season 2 of CBC’s Still Standing, the network recently announced.
Led by comedian Jonny Harris, the show follows the funnyman as he travels across the country to small towns on the ropes who are managing to keep laughing in the face of adversity. During his week-long stint, he immerses himself in the local culture and mines enough material to put on an original stand-up comedy routine for the residents.Visiting towns from coast to coast, Jonny uses his time to learn what makes each place special doing everything from being challenged to eat a 20 Ib. bag of apples in Berwick, NS, mounting a 10,000 Ib. Harley Davidson in Lytton, BC, befriending a yodelling cowboy in Manitou, MB and being a guest in an eight-person town (six person in the winter) in Rowley, AB.
“I’m absolutely thrilled by the response we’ve had and can’t wait to get season two underway. When you tune into Still Standing you’re going to get grit, determination, good laughs and even some ‘who knew?!’ moments. I’m looking forward to finding more of these stories.”
