About the Show

TallBoyz is back for a third season to explore everything from infant sleep training to the country's national sport. Measuring in at 252 collectively, Guled Abdi, Vance Banzo, Tim Blair and Franco Nguyen return to skewer popular culture from a very tall point of view. This seasons sketches range from silly, absurdist themes, like an ode to unwanted house pets and pothead heroes, to hard-hitting examinations of privilege, racism, and encounters with the royal family. 

Produced by Accent Entertainment, TALLBOYZ is created by Guled Abdi, Vance Banzo, Tim Blair, and Franco Nguyen. Bruce McCulloch is Executive Producer, Showrunner and Director, and Susan Cavan is Executive Producer along with the four TallBoyz. Paula Smith is Supervising Producer, Thea Gagliardi is Producer, and Ashley Comeau is Consulting Producer. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual & Sports; Trish Williams is Executive Director, Scripted Content; Sandra Picheca is Director of Current Production, Comedy; and Greig Dymond is Executive in Charge of Current Production and Head of Festivals, CBC Comedy. 

Stream episodes of TallBoyz now on CBC Gem.
