Not Quite Sherlock: The Tunnel of Terror

London, 1897. Barnaby Gibbs, a man made entirely of shortcomings, is no hero, but as sidekick to the brilliant detective, Antoine Feval, he’s pretty close. When an evil mastermind and his sinister Canadian henchman launch a plan to plunge the world into chaos, Gibbs will have no choice but to become exactly the hero he definitely isn’t meant to be.
Another hilarious tale of clueless crime-fighting from master story-teller Chris Gibbs

Not Quite Sherlock: The Tunnel of Terror, is the second show in the Not Quite Sherlock series. Under its original title, ‘The Further Adventures of Antoine Feval’, it was first performed at the 2008 Toronto Fringe Festival, and then at the Winnipeg Fringe. In 2009 it sold every available seat in its Edmonton Fringe run and was held over. The following year it played at the Montreal Fringe Festival.

“hilarious sequel … his appeal for his distinctive dry humour and deadpan delivery is limitless.”
Winnipeg Free Press

“A thrilling dash through the criminal underground of London. He inhabits the characters like a master storyteller, and keeps the energy and laughs going throughout. When the audience is stitches just for your soundcheck, it’s not a bad sign. Gibbs is a top-level performer, seamlessly switching from smart wordplay, to snappy ad libs. This is one sequel that works.”
CBC

“keeps the listener pinned on the edge of their seat. Unencumbered by props, music or light effects, he works his way through a captivating mystery plot, veering off into an endless stream of digressions along the way.”
Rob Duffy, Eye Weekly, Toronto

“As well as having few equals as a comic performer, Gibbs is also a talented storyteller, easily drawing the audience into his narrative with his engaging style. Chris Gibbs is as about as close as you can get to a sure thing at the Fringe. You can always count on him to deliver a show that will keep you in stitches, and this show is no exception.”
UMFM, Winnipeg

“Gibbs possesses this remarkable ability to just keep the audience laughing the whole time of the performance: by the time you are done laughing at one thing, the next funny thing has already arrived, so you figure you figure you might as well keep your original laugh going. Strongly recommended.”

“Told from the naive point of view of the bumbling assistant to a man presumed to be a great detective, the story follows a Victorian mystery as it unfolds, with many breaks in the fourth wall, references both broad and obscure, and enough charm to last well over the far too short sixty minute running time… a huge must-see.”
