The Crown Witness Does Stand-Up is a dark, funny solo show from Winnipeg comedian Jeff Gobeil.


After reporting his childhood abuser to police, Jeff finds himself doing something he never expected: testifying in court. As the trial unfolds, Jeff processes the experience the only way he knows how -- through comedy.


Blending courtroom testimony and stand-up, Jeff tells the story of trauma, survival, and what it means to finally speak up. The show is his victim impact statement in action. Part cross-examination, part stand-up and part inner monologue. This is a story about truth, resilience and finding your voice.
