Still Standing is a Canadian television series, airing on CBC Television in summer 2015.
A hybrid comedy/reality series, the program features actor and comedian Jonny Harris. In each episode, Harris travels to a small Canadian community which is financially struggling but "still standing", and spends time getting to know the residents and their lifestyle while cutting back to Harris performing a stand-up comedy show for the town's residents, into which he integrates some of his newfound insights about life in their community.
The show premiered on June 23, 2015, with an episode set in Bamfield, British Columbia. Other episodes were set in Coleman, Alberta; Souris, Prince Edward Island; Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan; Berwick, Nova Scotia; Oil Springs, Ontario; Lytton, British Columbia; Manitou, Manitoba; Wawa, Ontario; Teeswater, Ontario; Rowley, Alberta; North Buxton, Ontario; and Fogo Island, Newfoundland and Labrador.
In August 2015, CBC Television announced that it has renewed the series for a second season, to air in summer 2016. Episodes include Eganville, Ontario among others. On July 19, 2016, the series was renewed for a third season, which is set to air June 27, 2017.
