Nigel Cummerbund's first appearance in Canada was at a workshop called The Mastery of Self Expression as a guest of Vancouver area stand-up comedian Graham Collins.

Inspired by the workshop, Graham created a one man comedy show called SiMULATED NUDiTY which premiered in September 1997 at the 13th Annual Vancouver Fringe Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.

After sharing his views about how men and women view friendship and sexuality in decidedly different ways, Graham invited Nigel to join him onstage.

As a recently hired consultant to Sexuality Canada, Nigel gave his first full length Canadian presentations of The Formula for Perfect Sex.
