The Kids in the Hall Plot and Cast
“The Kids in the Hall” are a sketch comedy troupe, set apart by their cross-dressing antics and a seemingly infinite supply of unique characters. Although writer Paul Bellini, various extras, and sometimes even an actual woman appears in the sketches, for the most part, the five main cast members portray every single character themselves.
Recurring characters range from the harried corporate executive Danny Husk to Queen Elizabeth, from alienated teen rocker Bobby Tarrance to gay bar owner Buddy Cole, from occult TV show host Simon and his sidekick Hecubus to the gossiping corporate secretaries Cathy and Kathy, and an endless parade of others.
The theme song for the show is the instrumental “Having an Average Weekend” by the Canadian band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet.
The troupe, consisting of comedians Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, appeared as almost all the characters throughout the series, both male and female, and also wrote most of the sketches.
