Gigs at San Francisco's famed Fillmore West and L.A.'s Troubadour and in Northern California with The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service were monumental.

Stephen’s a womanizer and married to the ever faithful Susan. Thomas is recently divorced and is Stephen’s hapless and harried long-time best friend. Stephen’s business is finally taking off and he has a young, tantalizing girlfriend named Debbie, and life is great but for one thing - being married to the annoyingly faithful Susan. A real thorn in his side. He wants to get rid of her, but how?
He hatches an idea to solve all his problems-he only needs to persuade Thomas to seduce his wife, on video, as grounds for divorce.
Will he do it? Or rather, her ?

"So Here's the Thing ..." - A breath of fresh air, finely honed and relentlessly funny!
Take a break from the world and settle in for a seamless glide over life's troubled waters. Like the canoeist seated deftly atop his life jacket,
with whiskey and pot cookies sealed in airtight containers, Derek Edwards has left little to chance in this polished comedic adventure.
They say, "Brevity is the soul of wit." And like in a Hollywood movie when the fleeing hero has to jump off a cliff into a waterfall,
and the bad guys say, "Nobody could have survived THAT," then they cut back to a single hand reaching out of the rushing water,
finding purchase on a floating log. Derek is like that Sodden Log!
An island of stability amidst the frenzy.
An oft saturated and not entirely stable respite from life's turmoil.
From Vegas to St. John's, this Just For Laughs veteran is
universally considered to be among the comic elite.
Certainly, his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he's a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic - Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says,
"Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada."
Clearly the critics agree: "5 STARS - the funniest man on earth" - Winnipeg Free Press; "4 STARS - the crowd howled" –
Victoria Times Colonist; "still the funniest man in Canada" - Toronto Sun;
"Edwards reigns as the King of Canadian comedy" –
Charlottetown Guardian; "Derek Edwards is hysterical" - Calgary Sun;
"Edwards takes stand-up to next stage" –
Georgia Straight; "the epitome of timing & storytelling" –
Halifax Chronicle Herald; "the comedian's comedian" - London Free Press.
"So Here's the Thing ..." - Derek Edwards' new 90-minute
stand-up comedy show, ...a richly textured
and enthralling 'cut above,' delivered with pace and
authority by the consummate Canadian Comedian.

It's Christmas Eve and a young newspaper reporter on the brink of being fired has been assigned a last-chance story about a typical family Christmas - his family's Christmas.
He goes home to his recently widowed mother, his crazy uncle, his eccentric grandmother, his battling siblings and their neurotic spouses, who provide no shortage of material. One by one, we learn each family member's secrets, problems and dysfunctions, and when they all learn that he's writing an article with some very personal family information, the fruitcake his the fan!
The question is, will the magic of Christmas bring this family back together?
