KIds in the Hall 2008 tour

already got my tickets for the milwaukee show (although they haven't showed up in the mail yet, which is a little worrying).

yeah they debuted some new material in SF for a comedy fest but I was unable to attend

they were great live both times I've seen them. Bruce's Jesus 2000 monologue = k-lassic

I really shudder at what NYC tix must cost (won't look yet)

39.50 or 49.50. i feel like that's not more than what i've paid in the past, really.

wow, i could swing that

YOOOOO

crank dat foley boy

In a world where most entertainment tries to play it safe, “The Kids in the Hall” steadfastly refuse to follow the trend... Join The Kathies, Headcrusher, the Sales Guys, Buddy Cole..."

Ain't nothing less safe than defaulting to your already established characters amirite

oh i am jsut bitter because i missed them when they were in montreal

well yeah the promo text is dumb, i still can't wait to see them live

if it's really good, maybe i will see them in green bay too (lol last stop before canada).

so there

I read that Jordan liked the show (as much drag as ever?).

yeah, they killed it. there was a fair amount of drag, i guess...honestly i don't really notice the amount of characters in dresses vs. not.

one highlight among many was mark-as-headcrusher brutally zinging the other kids for their careers, i could quote but i don't want to ruin it for people who are going to see the show.

it was fun to see the second night, when everyone was missing their marks and the cues were all off (way funnier than a tight show).

I'm going to Saturday's late show

cool. i wish i could compare between the warm-up midwest show and the big NYC show.

here's the show-opening video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNJur5i6zaw

I'm really kicking myself that I didn't get tickets for the Baltimore show back before I paid taxes. Maybe if there are tix available the week of the show I can figure out at the last minute if I can afford to go.

haha wd be awesome to see these guys at the ryman

weird how few canadian dates there are

we'll be at the nashville show at the ryman. looking forward to it. i had the day off when tix went on sale so we got some nice seats for once. (usually it's a ticketmaster feeding frenzy.)

it was kinda funny, i bought tickets like five minutes after they went on sale to get decent seats. one of my friends bought tickets five minutes before the show started and she ended up sitting right behind me (row 7/8).

pretty good! tho Buddy's "how we know Jesus was gay" monologue, well, you can probly write most of it.

i saw scott thompson on sunday walking up 7th near 32nd st!
he was talking on a cellphone; he looked good. it was kind of awesome and also eerily normal, like, yeah i know that guy he's cool.

Guess who got to meet each Kid tonight after the Portland show and ask them comedy nerd questions about how to end a sketch, and found about "New Scottland."

Go ahead.

Guess.

Also, even tho this might have been bullshit or a piss-take, but Scott Thompson claimed not to know who Chris Morris was, and needed to be told about "Brass Eye" and "Jam."

what was the answer about ending a sketch?

It's the hardest thing to do.

Seriously, all 5 members said this, almost word for word. Kevin & Dave mention Python as great examples as how to get around that, but that no one could ever do it again and not be accused as ripping off them.

Kevin mentioned that the ending should related to the "truth" of the sketch, and Mark & Bruce said that you should end on a laugh, at least.

Going to go see them today in Georgia. I have two tickets. My friend is coming with me but I seriously doubt he will appreciate the humor like I do. He saw their skits for the first time today when I showed him about 4 of them. I could have invited another friend but, generally speaking, I don't think any of my friends would exactly "get" this kinda humor anyways, even if one might understand the funnyness just a little more than the next guy.

Which brings me to my conclusion about people nowadays again. Why can't you understand why KITH are funny and awesome? Why must Dane Cook and Dave Chapell dictate the only type of humor worth hearing? Why can't people appreciate the artistic value of CRAZEE sketch humor and learn to laugh at it because other types of humor are funny besides The Daily Show. Is it because the Kids in The Hall dress like girls that they are automatically disregarded by some people.. I wouldn't be surprised. Open-mindedness is needed in a world with so many closed-minded people. They would discover more things to laugh at for instance and better appreciate art.

For instance, I just saw the Hellboy 2 preview, and a friend of mine gave the thumbs down signal after the preview. The preview contained some of the best and most original cgi characters (tons of different types of aliens that all looked cool). Apparently, thats not worth mentioning when judging the movie preview. Perhaps if there was some national lampoon humor he would have gave the thumbs up.

tl;dr
