1 Man's Treasure
1 Man's Treasure is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered in 2023 on Bell Fibe TV.[1] The series is a mockumentary starring comedian Ron James as a fictionalized version of himself, purportedly having given up stand-up comedy to pursue a new career in treasure hunting.
The cast also includes Patrick McKenna as producer Bobby Smith and Jonathan Torrens appearing on-screen in his capacity as director of both the real series and the in-universe metaseries, as well as guest appearances by Koumbie, Mary-Colin Chisholm, Kathryn Greenwood and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee.
The first season features James searching for the Oak Island Treasure,[2] while the second features him on the trail of a legend about buried gold in the Niagara Region of Ontario.[3]
