The setting is 24 Sussex Dr., Ottawa, and once again it‘s the Prime Minister‘s Annual Gala featuring Canaâ€" da‘s newest performing arts sensations. Popular enterâ€" tainer Aitchison takes on the role of RCMP Constable Archibald F. Inkster, and serves as "security" for the festivities. He also pulls double duty as Master of Ceremonies, and takes aim at national and international events â€" with outrageous opinions on current affairs. Aitchison leaves no stone unturned, offering inimitable musings on everything from the heated race for the coveted Liberal leadership, to Canaâ€" da‘s relationship with the "Excited States of America." Whether frisking the audience with a metal detector, discussing the virtues of marriage to his lovely bride Hollyhock, or singing about the aging ommended NIGHT L |I V E CELTICâ€"FOLKâ€"+JAZZâ€"CLASSIC ROCK Extra Lean Ground Beef or Stewing Beef...........

Aitchison has great chemistry with The Gusé Family â€" whom he affecâ€" tionately introduces as "the most talented family this side of Dorking." Originally from Kitchener, Jim (the father}, Nicole (the daughâ€" ter), and Shane (the son) steal the show with their trademark _ highâ€"paced brand of entertainment. Their talents are endless, as they sing a diverse range of musical styling and play a variety of instruments, including the violin, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. They also dance up a storm â€" showing incredible tap skills, clogging techâ€" niques, and step dancing prowess with the clog, jig, and reel. The talent runs deep in this family, as they fondly salute their late grandfather, Cliff Adams, the first Canadian Open step dance champion. After opening for the legâ€" Friday & Saturday Starting at 8 p.m. Live music, great food & cool beverages endary Milton Berle years ago, their musical career kicked into high gear. Since then, the Gusés have been featured entertainers on the world‘s top cruise lines, travâ€" elling to every continent. They have also performed in countless pops concert series, corporate events, dinner theatres, fairs, and exhibitions across North America. The Gusé Family is backed by a band featuring Tim Boudreau on drums, Jim Clayton on piano/keyboard, Fred Hale on guitar, and Drew Ness and Dino Verginella on bass. Frank Parks adds comic relief as Clifford F. Inkster â€" â€" Archibald‘s dimâ€"witted nephew who was raised "a little too close to the paint factory." Canadian Toonie plays eight shows a week, Tuesday through Saturday, until Aug. 30.
