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.
Big fan of the guys since the TV series first came out. Was amazing to see them in person so many years later! Great great show.
Love Love Love these guys!! The show was fabulous, the theatre filled with constant laughter. It's like they've never been apart!
The sketches that were based on characters from the TV show with new material were great - just like watching the TV show but without being repetitive. It doesn't feel old - and they dont look older (at least not from where we were sitting) The new material is funny and irreverent (especially towards themselves). Took my husband for his birthday - he really enjoyed it as did I.
they r just brill as alwaysss!! Epic and historic .
The show brought as much laughter as it did nostalgia. It was one of the best put together shows I seen in recent times with funny skids and memorable moments. Long live the Kids and hope they tour again sometime soon.
was pleasantly surprised by the great performances .. and the lack of "hits" ... was witness to a taping back in 1990 and this was more like a performance from the Rivoli days....
