Is this actually at the Red Shoe?!

Yes. Where did you think it was from anyway?

I dunno, just seemed like a big event, and mabou being so small and everything, I thought it might've been somewhere bigger.

Harbourtown79 is toying with you. You can see the Front of the Red Shoe Pub behind the Stage. The stage was set up on the street.

It was taped for Rita MacNeil's special in June 2005. The stage was erected on Route 19 in front of the Red Shoe Pub.
