MacLean & MacLean were best known for their often scatological humour, which was combined with (usually humorous) renditions of folk and popular songs, with Blair playing guitar and Gary playing banjo and bongo drums. The duo began performing in 1972 and during their career played the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, the 1983 Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
In 1974 the pair were asked to leave a tour because of the offensive content of their show.[2]
