Kids in the Hall to do five reunion shows in Toronto

Cory Doctorow 8:34 am Wed Sep 18, 2013

Tavie sez, "Legendary comedy troupe (and troupe of my heart), Kids in the Hall, have put together old and new material for a limited reunion engagement in Toronto this December. This may or may not lead to another North American tour, so smart people are hightailing it to Toronto to see them perform in Toronto Sketchfest December 4 – 7:"

"The Kids in the Hall come together on stage for the first time in five years for an intimate and raucous Toronto homecoming. Featuring new material and an assortment of oddities from their deep, dark trunk, this is an engagement that is not to be missed."

General public sale is tomorrow so there may still be tickets left.

They're all over 50 now, so it will be especially fun to taunt them about the "Kids" moniker…
