DESCRIPTION:
This is That's live show tour has played to sold out audiences; it will tour back across the country in January and February 2017.. You'll learn that the city of Brandon, Manitoba is closed for annual maintenance between July 12 and August 19 and that tipping your server in Swift Current is offensive. Presented in the familiar casing of a traditional travel guidebook - a la Lonely Planet or Rough Guide - This is That: Travel Guide to Canada will teach you how to navigate the 12 petting zoos of Etobicoke and how to avoid pickpockets in Kamloops. This unreal guide also includes essential travel tips, such as useful Canadian phrases to locate the bathroom, the best places to portage, and the most spectacular malls above sea level. Discover the majesty of Canada - or what the Internet calls one of North America's top three must-visit nations - in this laugh-out-loud, farcical travel guide from the c
"From a huge fan of the podcast "This is That"" according to Pamela. Not as funny as the podcast, this book still carries the underhanded humor of the authors. Possibly my favorite part was the map of Canadian regions - beneath the provinces is a big section labelled "You Know Who." That made me laugh out loud. The readings did make me chuckle at times but did not carry the memorable stories that I hear in the podcasts. I HIGHLY recommend checking out the archives of the podcast - they will frequently force you to rethink Canadian humor.. Dwight E. Weber said Save Your Loonies!!. The This is That radio program on CBC is terrific. The individual segments are well-conceived and well-executed. Even the weaker bits are full of whimsy. I would recommend the show with five stars to anyone. This book, on the other hand, is not funny. Not even mildly amusing. It is SO different from the radio program is that I suspect Pat K. and Peter O. hired someone to write it for them. What a disappointment!! I awarded an extra star just because I admire their efforts on the radio. Stick to your knitting, eh?
