KIDS IN THE HALL LIVE:
Canadian comedy troupe Kids In the Hall thrilled fans when they turned their popular sketch sitcom into a full-blown comedy tour. Whether they're playing out their signature skits in drag or impersonating Queen Elizabeth II, the five jokesters consistently have aidoemces doubled-over in hysterics during their live performances. Back on tour, the uncanny quintet will treat ticket buyers to their quirky antics as they hit the road for a string of highly anticipated shows.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kids In the Hall have had a long-standing run in Canada's comedy scene, first forming in the early '80s but moving on to solo pursuits shortly after. It wasn't until their 1986 reunion when they realized their potential as a troupe -- SNL creator Lorne Michaels also noticed their on-stage chemistry, and the idea for a comedy show was born. They made their television debut in 1989, enjoying a successful six-season run and earning a Golden Rose Award (Rose d'Or). Since the show's finale, Kids In the Hall members have developed a major cult following, acting out recurring themes on tour and performing sketch situations in their hit film Brain Candy. Back on the road, Kids In the Hall head out on a number of tour dates, treating ticket buyers to their classic skits alongside new material.
I really enjoyed the show. I laughed so hard I cried.
I thought it was really great the way they flipped between new and old sketches. The local references made for some good jokes. Glad I finally saw them live! The improvised moments and their own laughter made it look like they were having fun on stage.
The Kids still have it...just as funny as they were 25 years ago. Too bad they couldn't do all of the characters like the Chicken Lady or Simon Milligan with Man Servant Hecubus but still very funny!
I had an amazing time watching the Kids in the Hall at the Burton Cummings Theatre. It was great to see them back together and on stage.
It's always amazing to watch a creative team play well together! Despite time passing, they still seem to be able to read each other's antics. Of course it's even funnier when something catches them off guard. Loved it!
I have been a fan of Kids in the Hall for years, but seeing them perform live was brilliant. They were extemely funny and interactive with the audience. Our seats were perfect, close to the stage.
Great show, would see them again. If you loved their tv series then you will love to see them live. great improv with some classic characters.
Absolutely gut-busting fantastic. Old stuff mixed in with new material - I didn't want it to end. :)
KITH are better than ever! Haven't laughed that hard in years!
It was great to see the Middle Aged Men in the Hall back together again. They did a couple of sketches from the past but mostly new material. I would have loved to have seen another show on a different night just to see how much of it was improvised. For instance, there was a bit that had a rather long F-Bomb exchange between Dave and I think Bruce, maybe Kevin, where Scott joined in from the wings. It seemed like that was not rehearsed, it was just something Scott couldn't bear to not be a part of. There were a couple of moments like that. They just all seemed to be having so much fun that you couldn't help but have fun yourself watching them.
The kids did almost 2hrs of pure FUNNY! Sketch, solo...
Wow. they were fantastic. With it was longer then 90 min though. but overall, so many good laughs. and they brought back some familiar characters and new material. Was a dream come true! and they were so sweet.
Had read when the concert was being planned it was going to be all new material, which it wasn't. The guys are still darned funny,
I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being exactly what I hoped it would be! Lots of classic material with lots of fabulous new sketches!!! Thoroughly enjoyable! Huge kudos to the troupe for remaining as hilarious as ever!
We didn't think the skits were that funny; some were, but not that many. Our seats were too far back to see the comedians' faces. Binoculars would've helped. The sound was great.
Awesome. I laughed my butt off. Cant wait till they come back.
It so great to see the Kids together. They worked well and have a great rapport. All round a great show that touched on some of the great moments and gags.
I have to say, you can still deliver some great laughs! Thanks for the many laughs!
An incredibly entertaining show. The time just flew by and I was sorry when it was over! I would go see The Kids in the Hall again and again!
These guys have a magical chemistry with each other. The skits still work, and bring back memories of the fun of yester-year. Great sketch comedy by truly top-notch talented people.
