THE PEGGY SHOW

Created by John Beale and Graham Percy

John Beale stars in this hilarious and irreverent look at Peggy and her history in the cove. The show is steeped in the comic traditions of Buster Keaton, Peter Sellers, Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. After the devastating shipwreck of the S.S. Lothrop 196 years ago, only one survivor lives to tell her tale. Get ready for some gut busting laughs as you meet the legendary Peggy and her trusty assistant Manuel Laboure. This live act consists of one million years of history, impossible stunts, a live reenactment of the shipwreck and plenty of good heartfelt laughs. Peggy's Cove will never be the same now that Peggy's back in town again!  The Peggy Show ran from 2004-2009 at The Old Red Schoolhouse in Peggy's Cove.

"Brilliantly executed physical comedy.....
The packed audience, toddlers to seniors, laughed from start to finish."

Andrea Nemets, Chronicle Herald
Chronicle Herald Review

When you studied in my school in Paris I recognized you as a great
actor. When I saw your show I recognized a great writer, poet and actor. But I knew it already.
Thanks for your show.
Your friend,

"A brilliant combination of physical comedy and wit, at once intelligent and heartfelt, which takes the tradition of Commedia del'Arte and its successors -- Shakespeare and Moliere -- to new heights. I loved this show. It is a 45-minute, sidesplitting roller coast ride through the history of Peggy's Cove which ends at Gate 3 of your friendly neighbourhood tour bus line. Get your ticket before there are none left to be had."
