One Man. One mystery. No clue.


"Deliciously funny! One of the most cleverly written and performed shows I've ever seen..." Antoine Feval is the newest production and award-winning performance by world- renowned comedian Chris Gibbs. Antoine Feval is a comic tour-de-force that introduces us to Barnaby Gibbs - a kind hearted but thoroughly dim-witted and clueless young Englishman who inadvertently becomes the Dr. Watson-like sidekick to brilliant detective Antoine Feval, not realizing that his new partner is actually the master thief who's been robbing the city blind. Good guy Barnaby eagerly recounts his adventures in a story full of twists, turns and gadzooks moments!
