CBC’s Still Standing to be filmed in Borden Jan. 26

CBC’s travelling comedy show, Still Standing, has been in the Borden/Radisson area this week, and is filming segments toward an episode.

The show’s format involves Newfoundland comedian Jonny Harris spending time in communities across Canada, filming short segments with residents in which host and guest discuss the distinctive qualities of communities.

Harris' appearance then culminates in a comedy performance that involves material taken from the conversations he had, and his experiences in town.

According to Lorraine Olinyk, Regional Optimist correspondent for the Borden/Raddison area, Harris talked to Judah Tyreman, Don Harris, former Radisson mayor Walter Kyliuk, and ballroom dancers Jean and Lily from the Radisson cafe. Sunridge RV hosted a free barbecue at the Radisson communiplex on Jan. 24.

Harris’ stand-up performance will take place Friday, Jan. 26 at the Borden Community Centre. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the performance is expected to start at 6:30. The performance is free and there’s no reserved seating. Manitou Beach was previously featured on an episode, and episodes can be viewed online.
