Monsieur, Mon fur!

Believe it or not,the Kids in the Hall have been touring incognito (in the States by unadvertised shows, but publicly in Canada, which is basically still being incognito) with actual new sketches. According to The New York Times:

Audiences in Montreal, where the Kids unveiled their new show after breaking it in with a few unadvertised performances in Los Angeles in May, would probably have been content with an evening of their greatest hits. They were instead treated to 90 minutes of new material; the Kids reprised none of their signature sketches and few of their familiar characters. (Scott Thompson’s acid-tongued gay-bar philosopher, Buddy Cole, and Mark McKinney’s misanthropic Head Crusher were notable exceptions.) The response was enthusiastic, and the Kids are now talking about another tour and maybe even another movie.

The last time I saw them live was in 2002 at the Los Angeles Wiltern, and even though the show was awesome, I have to say it was like being a a modern-day Renaissance Faire for Emo kids without the convenience of alcoholic beverages. Needless to say, THAT went on the list of things to never do again.
