THE 70-MILE YARD SALE

With a unique blend of storytelling comedy and theatre Justin Shaw takes his audience on a ride that is equal parts funny and heartfelt spinning a fun-filled yarn about family friendship and finding more than what you bargained for.

Inspired by Prince Edward Island’s 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale THE 70 MILE YARD SALE is a one-person show about a wild journey across Prince Edward Island to retrieve a lost family heirloom from a gargantuan yard sale. Using only a microphone and his imagination Justin sheds light on Island life that many people from the mainland (or from “far away”) have probably never heard of.

Get ready for the madcap adventure filled with laughter and heart.

“Ultimately the stories hold together for many laughs and thrills by way of Shaw’s uncanny ability to tie together different parts of his story through well-placed details and by turning a yard sale into a quest of epic proportions took a look at the audience a few times during the show and they were totally enthralled with Shaw’s story. His delivery is spot on and he truly knows how to work the room.”

The Writer & The Wit –

“Justin’s ability to create vivid imagery and hold the audience’s attention is remarkable and the transition from simply performing a typical stand-up bit to mesmerizing the room with authentic storytelling reminiscent of Stuart McLean is seamless… (his) performance is like watching an exquisitely detailed and wonderfully quaint painting of the east coast come alive in front of you. It’s simple yet it’s complex. It’s hilarious yet it’s heartbreaking . It’s fictionalized yet it’s true.”

Arthur Bullock –

“Justin Shaw brings a friendly energetic style of storytelling to his performance. He never misses a beat and yet never seems to go too quickly either. He delivers wit and humour without ever coming across as mean-spirited and has the audience laughing every time. Watching him perform feels like sitting down with a long-time friend swapping stories over lunch or dinner.”
