Shoe String Revue. Produced for the Canadian federal
government's, The Footwear Bureau of Canada, the show stared 2010

the mime/magician shoemaker, Chou Chou and toured coast to coast
across Canada promoting and extolling the benefits of purchasing footwear
made in Canada. These free mime/ magic fashion shows performed

and brought smiles to the faces of thousands of children and adults
alike from Halifax to Vancouver and every major city in between. The

new meaning. Doug went on to produce and star in a
long running Broadway show, a series of National American TV
specials and world wide fame passing away in 2000 at the age of 52 having
left a trail of silver souvenir, Chou Chou The Magical Shoemaker
