Meet The Team: Kennedy Goodkey

Hi, I’m Kennedy, am a seasoned writer and actor with a rich background in theatre, film, and TV. I spent six years touring with “Canada’s Best Comedy Troupe without a TV show” (Edmonton Journal), The Juanabees, showcasing my comedic talents across the country. I also wrote and acted in the Canadian film, The Beast of Bottomless Lake, a modern comic adaptation of Moby Dick.

My deep-rooted connection to Gastown is one of my standout qualities. As a third-generation Gastown resident now raising a fourth, my love for my home and its history drew me to Forbidden Vancouver. I bring my personal touch and local knowledge to every tour, making history come alive for all my guests.

When I’m not captivating audiences with stories of Gastown’s past, I enjoy playing board games and making music. A fun fact about me? I designed the coaching program that trains operators who answer when you dial 0 or 411.

Join me on one of our tours and experience Gastown like never before through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
