Okay, we use lines from Kids In the Hall in our daily conversations whenever we can. We bought all the seasons on DVD and still watch them. Getting the Comedy Troupe on Tour is a brilliant move! We loved the idea that we recognize the skits, the roars of laughter thundering crashing washing over the audience like happy ocean waves. It was a magical memorable evening with my hubster. We realized we hadn't been to a theater event in over 10 years and we've been married for 20 years. Jiminy Crickets! We met in the theater ourselves. I was the stage manager/assistant director and he was the lighting guy and president of the juggling club. In the booth in the college theater our friendship was inevitable. It was a few years later that he invited me to sell everything I own, quit my job and go tour the country in a 1969 VW pop top camper bus. We've been inseparable ever since. Oh yeah, sorry guys got a bit side tracked with the review... you gotta go! I pray they come back to Minneapolis, MN again so we can get the word out to all of our friends that didn't know about it, but wish they had. We LOVE KITH!!! Thanks for coming to visit us guys! Safe travels and be well.

30 Helens agree, along with everyone else in the audience, the Kids In The Hall are still outrageous. The show was funny, edgy, timely, and classic. I have been a fan since the beginning and have seen them live 15 years ago. They remain one of the all-time best performance troupes around!

This is my second time seeing the Kids in the Hall live, and it was AMAZING! From a mega fan whose seen nearly every sketch from the original series, the performances were just as spectacular as they were in 1990. It was awesome to see a combination of old sketches (with subtle nuances), and brand new ones. The Kids (all but Mark) were also gracious enough to come out and meet their fans after the show. I can't wait for them to tour again!

Most of the show was new material and even the classic sketches have had some work done. The show ended up running a bit longer than anticipated due to some screw ups (some by the production crew and some by the Kids themselves), but these guys are such professionals, that they know how to work it into the show. They are truly improv artists! If you have an idea of what they are about from their TV shows (the original KITH sketch show and the Death Comes to Town mini-series) and from their movies, you can trust them to entertain you during this ~90 minute live show. As for when their sketches were going according to plan, the good thing is that the premise of their sketches are always so out there, that the punch line is never predictable. Enjoy!

Amazing reunion tour!!! Just as funny, if not more so, then all those years ago! The ONLY complaint was they did not crush anyone's head?!?!

The five man comedy troupe combined old and new skits to make for a memorable night at the Wilbur Theatre Friday night. They also added new twists to their old routines and broke each other up a few times which I love to watch. They started with an hysterical routine wearing wedding gowns and ended with an impromptu encore. Quick-witted, topical, warm, and funny, The Kids in the Hall cracked me up. A terrific show!

This show was everything I hoped for... tons of great new material, and a few classic sketches, as well. Although I truly love all 5 guys, Kevin and Mark were fantastic. I've seen every tour that's brought them to our area, and I hope I get another chance someday.

Event was awesome! Ran into Dave and Kevin on their way into the theater and got to shake their hands. They made a lot of mistakes and broke the 4th wall, but it made the show a lot more fun. (It's called "Rusty & Ready" for a reason). Mark poorly imitating a Boston accent was hilarious. Ending with an encore of "Running Fagg0t" was a nice touch, especially when Kevin came out with the redneck hat on too soon, and threw it back stage before he spoke. Definitely had a lot of fun.

It's always great to see the five members of Kids In the Hall together, and it seemed like they were enjoying themselves as well. I appreciated that they had new material they seemed to be trying out, which is always hit and miss, but even when something went wrong, it was quite funny to watch (which I think is a testament to how talented they are). They also threw in a couple of classic skits and characters as well. I know some people will probably complain that they didn't use more of the well-known material, but it's promising to see them working together again.

Like the tour shirts said "Rusty but Ready", there were some flubbed lines, missed cues and blocking problems, and I felt like I was at a dress rehearsal. Some favorite characters- Sir Simon Milligan and Hecubus, Chicken Lady, Gavin; Some new skits- 5 Men in Wedding Dresses, Brokeback Double Date, Blueberry Pie... I'm so glad I went. If you're a fan of KITH, you must attend. The guys looked like they were having fun, really enjoying themselves on stage. This was my 3rd time for a live show, and worth every penny! I hope they come back to the states so my friends can see them, tool. The show was slightly ruined by the ushers having to constantly tell morons to stop recording the show. Why these creeps weren't ejected is beyond me, because there were several repeat offenders.

The Kids were very funny and I really had a good time. I hadn't seen the show before (although I did watch their movie), so it was all new to me. Highly recommended!

I laughed, I snorted, I may have peed my pants from laughing so hard. Welcome back Kids!!! The lady to my right stank of body odor. The giant head of the man in front of me blocked my view. My date and I moved 2 rows up as there were plenty of empty seats behind us, and all the problems were gone. Once the unplesantness of my seat was exchanged for a less stinky, less blocked one, I was beyond happy. The show seemed to fly by and was brilliant, as expected.

Funny show, lots of laughs. Opening wedding dress scene was the best by far. Absolutely side splitting!

KITH is awesome, we all know that. Well this tour is perfect. A mix of a few new things coupled with verbatim classics. If you are a KITH fan, you will love it. My only criticism was that it could have been longer. It seemed to go by too fast. Manservant Hecubus!

I wouldn't say that I got my money's worth. They were on stage a little over an hour, and didn't bring back many of their best characters. If you think gay jokes are the epitome of humor, then this show might be for you, since 90% of the comedy revolved around this subject. Kevin McDonald and Bruce McKullogh were giving it 100%, Scott Thompson around 75%, and Dave Foley and Mark McKinney (especially) were just phoning it in. Scott Thompson's "Buddy" monologue was the highlight of the show. That character is still charming and sharp. Would have liked to have seen "The Kathys" or "Cabbage Head", but oh well. Also, it seemed as if a lot of this show was meant to be improv. Improv can work in a more intimate venue; the Majestic Theater was too large a stage to have almost no props or sets. Also, the forgetting of lines and the silliness of some of the staging was funny once or twice. For such a short show, it seems as if they could have it 'together' a little bit better. I will pass next time, but am glad I can say I saw them live once. Just wish I had paid a little less money.

This was a great show. I remember watching them on TV when they were on the air. These guys are so funny. The brought back the characters that you remember! During the show there was a big mishap, however the guys played right into the show the problem, and made it all the more funnier.

This was my first time seeing Kids In The Hall Live. It blew my mind. They were spot on with their cutting edge humor. It was a nice mix of new material and some classics from their tv show.

I was very excited when I saw the ad for the kids in the hall on stage, and then sadly disappointed! Being a fan from the HBO years, I wasn't upset that they used the old material, I WAS upset that they did not feature chicken lady or the secretaries!! Kids in the hall in drag is the best!! The show was barely an hour long and I felt that for all the effort and expense I may have been better off staying at home watching TKITH on you tube.

What a great time! Very fun to see and just as I remembered. Great chemistry and reminds me of my college days. Bruce McColluch's Gavin and Scott Thompson's Buddy Cole were hilarious and untarnished by time. They are still irreverent and able to pull off some unPC things other comedians could not. Dave Foley's country doctor and of course, Kevin McDonald in drag with updates/adlibs was as funny now as it was back in the day. Perfect ending with Mark McKinney crushing the heads of members of the audience and the troop. When it was done, I thought it was too short, and then realized after checking the time, they were well over two hours. Time flew, that's how fun it was. However, I wished Sir Simon Milligan and Manservent Hecubus had shown up though, maybe next time.

The live Kids in the Hall performance was everything we hoped it would be...funny, crass, weird, satirical and did I say funny? The guys were all on their game and put on a high energy 2 hour show that was hilarious. I missed these guys, and this show reminded me why.

I have loved this troupe since discovering them in 94. Watched all the episodes, eventually on disc and Netflix, and laughed with them Saturday night just like when I first found them. Amazing to see them live, for the second time, and to laugh solidly for almost 2 hours! Bravo!
