Synopsis

It started as a low budget Peterborough thing.... It's time to take it to the next level! Comedy sketches, political satire, commercial parodies and Canadian music are at the heart of the new comedy series, 'Ganza. Filmed on location, each episode is shot in a different province or territory across Canada. The sketches will not only showcase the province but 'Ganza will also invite a guest actor from that province to join the ensemble cast for each episode. The fans of 'Ganza have the opportunity to be involved in the show by choosing the indie band that will represent their province or territory by voting on-line. 'Ganza - bringing the funny and indie tunes - one province at a time!

I watched all three weeks. I found that the stories you were making fun of I wasn't familiar with or interested in. Nothing here to hold my attention.

Thought it was going to be interesting but making a joke of Ebola is just not cool. Sorry guys but you've lost me.

These kids are the real deal. Talking as someone who only eats mustard during the holiday season, I can see they have filming, writing and comedy chops. Keep it up 'ganza guys.

Not terrible but not really amazing, I like the idea but doesn't seem doable without a pretty big budget.
