In 1998 Nigel Cummerbund and Vancouver stand-up comedian Graham Collins had a number of SOLD OUT performances at the 17th Annual Edmonton Fringe Festival during August.

In September, they played a return engagement to the 14th Annual Vancouver Fringe Festival.

As we neared the end of the millenium, there were offers to tour India and Australia, and on December 31st, 1999 Nigel was awarded an honourary Doctorate in Carnal Knowledge by the University of Fake' (pronounced Fa-kay) in Bangkok, Thailand.

This new accreditation opened many doors for Dr. Nigel, including a number of invitations to speak at Annual Gatherings for Mensa in Canada, the United States and Africa.
