The landmark dark and absurdist humor of the legendary Canadian sketch group, Kids In the Hall, are indeed set to return via Amazon Prime. The entire group, Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson are all on board for 8 brand spankin’ new episodes.

They’re planning on bringing back many of your favorite characters, but we hope we get something new and as wonderfully offbeat for today as the Kids in the Hall were for the 90s.

Thus, the amassing of content for the streaming wars continues and Amazon, for our money, scored big.

Since Kids in the Hall’s Scott Thompson relocated to LA, you have might gotten a chance here or there to see him do his renowned Buddy Cole character live here or there.

More likely than not, the opportunity probably slipped through your fingers to watch Thompson’s unapologetic, yet perfectly coifed firebrand Buddy Cole let loose.

Thankfully, Thompson is doing an entire month long residency at the Lyric Hyperion of Après le Déluge: The Buddy Cole Monologues for the nice price of $10 (if you get tickets in advance). You can (and really should) snag ‘em over here.

Sure, the Fourth of July is this week, but you’ve got tip your caps to Canada, which seems like they’re doing much better than us Americans right now.

So, for Canada Day, why not go see some of the funniest Canadians that thankfully are residing in LA (that includes Kids in the Hall’s Scott Thompson).

Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) go get them right now right her

One of our favorite shows, Underbelly, is returning as it has found yet another new home in The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe. It’s one of our favorite shows to see because it pushes stand-up comedians to perform everything but stand-up.

This latest edition will include:
Scott Thompson
Marlena Rodriguez
Josh Fadem
Drennon Davis
Emily Maya Mills
& more!
With hosts Ryan Singer and Chris Garcia

Pretty swell, huh?

The show is free to attend and you can get more details here.

Arguably, Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen is one of the best comedy shows in the country, maybe even the world. It has become a staple in both LA and NYC that’s pretty much sold to capacity every week well over a whole decade.

This 12th Anniversary of Hot Tub that’s happening tomorrow is actually sold out, but there will be a small number of tickets available at the door. Both Kurt and Kristen will do some of their classic sketches in addition to the killer line-up that they always have.

This Monday night, February 20th, doors will be open at 7PM at The Virgil (we’re guessing some might be lining up well before that), tickets will be at $8 at the door, and the show will start at 8PM.
