	CODCO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		CODCO was a Newfoundland and Labrador Canadian troupe that aired on CBC from 1988 - 1992.
		Founded as a theatrical revue in the early 1970 s in the maritime island-province of Newfoundland, CODCO draws on the province's cultural history of self-deprecating "Newfie" humour, frequently focusing on the cod fishing industry.
		Spun from the collective writing and acting skills of the members, and ably directed by the experienced John Blanchard and David Acomba, the CODCO members' sketches show the tightness of well rehearsed scene studies, rather than the loose burlesque of Saturday Night Live.

	CODCO
		What was immediately apparent was that CODCO, while successfully satirizing its own culture, was also lampooning the, at times, earnest and frequently naive characteristics of community COLLECTIVE CREATION so fondly embraced by its Ontario theatre sponsors.
		CODCO, composed of Newfoundlanders who had at one time left their home to pursue individual artistic careers, created and developed material from a Newfoundland experience.
		The CODCO papers are housed at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies Archives, Memorial University.

	Codco: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Codco's humour and theatrical style was related to the broad- based counter-culture movement of the 1960s and 70s.
		Codco tapped into a need to satirize the absurdities and inanities of the human condition - and politics - that were also worked over and criticized by comedic entities such as Second City, the Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Players, Saturday Night Live and Kids in the Hall.
		Codco ended up changing not only the perception of Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders but it also changed the face of Canadian comedy and the performing arts to such an extent that it is impossible to imagine a world without the Budgells, Lucky Margarine, or the Friday-Night Girls.

		The 46-year-old former CODCO member brings his one-man show, Still Alive, to the Factory Theatre for a month-long run that begins Saturday (Dec. 3).
		It's an ironic statement, considering the fact that while he was in CODCO Jones seemed to be the one with the most to say.
		Perhaps the most glaring example of this comic shrug was the CODCO sketch "Pleasant Irish Priests in Conversation." The skit, which featured Jones, along with Tommy Sexton and Greg Malone (as homosexual priests living as a couple), included references to vodka, masturbation, drunkenness and their relationship to the Catholic Church.

		Placed back to back with The Kids in the Hall to comprise an hour of "adult" programming (after 9:00 P.M.), CODCO's satiric authority was enhanced by this yoking with the Kids' misbehavior and, in context, with the juxtaposition to the CBC's flagship national newscast, The National (later renamed Primetime News).
		CODCO's transformation into This Hour Has 22 Minutes in the CBC's 1993-94 season brought Mary Walsh into her own as head writer, and actor, working in collaboration with Cathy Jones, Greg Thomey, Rick Mercer and other writers.
