A square bracket is missing.

Not sure what the problem is: the expression below produces some neat 
plot of the functions.

Manipulate[Show[{ListPlot[Table[{i, PDF[PoissonDistribution[m], i]},
            {i, 0, 30}]],
    Plot[PDF[GammaDistribution[a, b], x], {x, 0, 30}]},
      PlotRange -> {-0.1, 0.2}], {{m, 1, "m"}, 1, 20},
    {{a, 1, "a"}, 0, 30}, {{b, 1, "b"}, 0.1, 2}]
