TORONTO SKETCH COMEDY FESTIVAL
Presents
YOUNG DRUNK PUNK
Written and Performed by Bruce McCulloch
Live Onstage for One Night Only – Tuesday, October 21, 2014
TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival (TOsketchfest) presents YOUNG DRUNK PUNK, written and performed by Kids in the Hall funny-man Bruce McCulloch, live onstage Tuesday, October 21, 2014. This special live performance will launch McCulloch’s new book Let’s Start a Riot: How A Young Drunk Punk became A Hollywood Dad, and includes a book signing and post-show reception.
YOUNG DRUNK PUNK, which combines stand-up, live music and assorted autobiographical insights, premiered at TOsketchfest in 2013, and has recently been green-lit by City for a new
13-episode scripted comedy TV series–created, written, and executive produced by McCulloch–set to air in January 2015.
YOUNG DRUNK PUNK chronicles McCulloch’s journey from his wild early days as a ‘young punk’ in 1980s Alberta to his flannel plaid days and futon nights in 1990s Toronto. From scowling teenager to father of two, McCulloch hopes the show serves as a “poor, but ultimately redemptive example for high school graduates today.” The infamous Kid is all grown up, but his singular brand of humour and signature wit remain firmly intact.
Let’s Start a Riot: How A Young Drunk Punk became A Hollywood Dad is a biting, funny and revealing memoir from the legendary Kid in the Hall. This funny collection of personal stories is peppered with moments of surprising poignancy and warmth. Let’s Start a Riot will be officially released on October 14, 2014.
