Last week I saw The Kids in the Hall [1] live at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. I've been a fan of The Kids in the Hall since I first saw them on Comedy Central. Not being Canadian or otherwise having access to Canadian television stations of HBO, that was the first I'd ever seen of the troupe. Needless to say, I'd never seen The Kids in the Hall live before, and I never thought I would have the chance to. So I was delighted to learn that the 'Live as We'll Ever Be' tour was coming to town.

those arent my favorite.
what about growing a beard? or the spaghetti slicer?
"Did you stuff the ham with salt???"
I always liked the Doors-fan sketch, mostly because the record store owner reminds me of myself.

"what!? best of albums are for house wives!"
haha, yea that was a great sketch. my favorite part was:
"this is what i want you to do. steal a car..."
"i have a car..."
"STEAL A CAR!"
"But first . . . the whores!!!"
what?! no Pit of Ultimate Darkness starring Simon and Hecubus?
my favourite person from the show was Bruce McCulloch. the terrier song and daves i know are classics. or the open letter to the guy who stole his front tire off his bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m68-oWBh9Ow [11]
Thank god he didn't pick the head crusher. That was such a stupid sketch.
Also, if anyone can find me a video of Bruce's "Eraserhead" video, I'd be eternally in your debt.
I saw them live in the summer of 2002. They did some classic stuff, some new stuff, and some new stuff with classic characters.It was great, tho the intro video they had that time was more along the lines of lego men and women in sexual positions.
Wow! What a lineup. But don't worry about it, look at me, the flying pig. Hey Hey Hey.
Dr Seuss Bible,#1,no contest.
Those are very good, but he left out The French Trappers.
