The Power of Ignorance is a 90-minute one-man mock motivational seminar featuring Vaguen, Master of Ignorance. Vaguen presents his unique method of achieving success and happiness and in doing so brings the audience into a darkly comic world of twisted logic and motivational nonsense.

“Anyone who has witnessed the self-deprecating comedic stylings of Chris Gibbs will agree: he’s one of the funniest guys around.”

History
In 2002 TJ Dawe saw an excerpt of a short film called 'The Power of Ignorance'. He thought it could be developed into a good one-man show, obtained the permission of the original film-makers, Jeff Sumerel and Sam Reynolds, and approached Chris to co-write and perform it. The show's premiere was the 2003 Canadian Fringe tour, selling out every performance in Winnipeg and Edmonton. Since then the show has toured throughout Canada, expanding to a 90-minute version, which, along with the book, was published by Brindle and Glass.
