The new 'Kids in the Hall' doc is out now. We spoke with them about that, their lengthy history and more
is their best sketch,” says Martin’s co-worker, Brian. The two bartenders are trading memorable quotes back and forth as yet another bartender, a blond ponytailed gentleman whose name I don’t catch, makes his appearance, back from his 30-minute break. Miming holding a cigar and in his bestMy Prince Charlie Cut and its four sides arrive and I tuck in. I enjoy listening to the cacophonous sounds of three Scottish bartenders reciting the greatest hits of The Kids in the Hall.I.
McDonald remembers that the two strangers “had chemistry right away,” adding, “Comedy chemistry is sorta like falling in love with someone” The two strangers were making each other laugh before they knew the other’s name. They were two reincarnated vaudevillians, both capable of playing either the straight man or the fool.
Enter York University student and aspiring movie star Scott Thompson. “I wanted to be James Dean,” Thompson says in the doc. That all changed the night he caught a Kids performance. During the show, there was a moment when the performers announced to the audience that they could find a jelly donut under their seat. “That scene went horribly,” McDonald says. “And they started throwing the donuts at us.” The main culprit of the donut firing squad? Thompson.
The documentary maximizes a treasure trove of grainy footage from this time. The energy on stage is undeniable. For die-hard Kids fans, like myself, it’s like being able to watch the Hamburg-era Beatles. We even catch a slight glimpse of a young Mike Myers guest performing with his friends. “I always aspired to be in The Kids in the Hall,” Myers tells the documentary crew, which includes his brother Paul, who’s wonderful 2018 book on the troupe, entitled, serves as the baseline for the film.
Thompson enabled all the other members of The Kids to embrace a certain femininity that is inherent to male actors The Kids, of course, are most famous for playing all the female characters in their sketches. In, writer Tabitha Vidaurri explains the importance of their rooted, un-mocking portrayals of women better than I could. But I will say, as a Midwestern teenager in the ‘90s, The Kids expanded my own view of the world and they did it with pitch-perfect humor.
