Bowser & Blue
Canada's #1 Musical Comedy Duo
George Bowser and Rick Blue have been writing and performing music and comedy together for more than 40 years. Their Christmas TV special 'Two Nuts Roasting On An Open Fire' was nominated for a Gemini, and they have released over a dozen CDs.
Colorectal Surgeons around the world are familiar with them ... through their song Working Where the Sun Don't Shine which has become somewhat of a cult classic and favourite and was first heard on 'Madly Off In All Directions' in 1997. Their most recent senstation was The Justin Trudeau Song which went viral in early 2015. +
In 2011 the Montreal opening of their latest full-length Musical production: "Schwartz's - The Musical," inspired by Bill Brownstein's best-selling book about the iconic Montreal Delicatessen, debuted. Recently they also shared the stage at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, with Joan Rivers and many other fine comedians. That show aired nationally on CBC-TV.
They have written and performed in many theatrical shows, including 2008's "The 25th Century Belongs to Canada," and "The 4 Anglos of the Apocalypse," a comic perspective on the last 30 years of politics in Quebec, from 2006. These were collaborative works, written and performed with film-maker and humorist Josh Freed, and award-winning cartoonist Terry Mosher (Aislin). Their Musical "The Paris of America," ran for seven sold-out weeks at Montreal's Centaur Theatre in 2003. Previous shows, including the smash hits "Blokes" and "Blokes Deux," are listed elsewhere on this site.
They have recorded with Supertramp's Rick Davies, and with Katrina and the Waves. They also recorded a song with the late Blair and Gary MacLean, Canada's legendary "MacLean and MacLean."
They have appeared in theatres and concert halls across Canada, and since 2007 they have been frequent guests on the Canadian Snowbird Extravaganza concert series, both in Canada and the United States.
Bowser and Blue provided the music for the NFB animated film "Scant Sanity," by John Weldon, and for the TV show "Misguided Angels." The instrumental guitar music for that show, "Red Guitars,"is what you hear in the auditorium between shows at B&B concerts.
Bowser and Blue's comedy style is particularly loved by the baby boomers, a large demographic that particularly enjoys their political and social satire. Not exclusive to boomer humor, the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities voted Bowser and Blue "Entertainers of the Year" for their work in pubs and on college and university campuses.
They are perfect fit for corporate events, conventions and conferences and can also incorporate bilingual comedy into their show. (English/French) --

I laughed so much I had to use the tablecloth to wipe my eyes. By far the best entertainment we've ever had at a banquet.
