About The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy by Paul Myers
Published in 2018, The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy is an authorized account of the Canadian sketch comedy troupe, written with the members’ cooperation. Interviews with Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, along with people from the troupe’s circle, provide first-hand perspectives on its work and career.
The book follows the group from its early club shows in Toronto and New York through later reunion tours, and covers the making of sketches and characters including Chicken Lady, Buddy Cole, Cabbage Head, and Sir Simon and Hecubus. Tributes from fellow comedians and previously unseen photographs and poster art add context for readers interested in the troupe, Canadian comedy, and television and pop-culture history. It should appeal to longtime fans as well as readers discovering the group’s work.
