The History of Some Canadian Hilarity
Here’s the official description for “The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks:”
“The Kids in the Hall” were a talented post-punk group of guys making genre-breaking, gender-bending comedy, and I can’t wait to learn more about their history and celebrate their legacy. It’s impossible to overstate the impact of the Kids on TV comedy, as their willingness to get really weird helped shape subversive humor for decades to come. The dadaist hilarity of things like “The Tom Green Show” and “Tim & Eric” owe the Kids a tip of the hat for breaking boundaries and getting truly absurd.
Through never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with celebrities, industry insiders and the “Kids” themselves— this two-part documentary delves into this cult-famous comedy troupe’s post-punk origins in the mid-1980s and provides inside access to their tumultuous 40-year journey across five seasons of their renowned television series, a controversial feature film, multiple sold-out tours and their recently announced reboot for Prime Video.
Long live the “Kids in the Hall” — just make sure you keep your head protected from wayward pinches.
