ABOUT THE SHOW
Prepare to rock out and laugh out loud as Kevin McDonald of The Kids in the Hall takes the stage in Kevin McDonald Superstar, a rip-roaring comic rock opera that takes the audience on an explosive ride through the early days of The Kids in the Hall, past relationships, personal follies, and the glory days of the ‘90s comedy scene that shaped it all.
Written by McDonald, "Kevin McDonald Superstar" is based on the true story of his relationship with his girlfriend, “Cheater,” and a stupid, awful thing he did in New York City while traveling with the Kids in the Hall.
Kevin will be performing the show as a "staged reading" with a cast of Vermont comedians and musicians who have barely rehearsed the material, so you know it'll be unpredictable!
Don’t miss your chance to experience this unforgettable, offbeat rock opera that showcases McDonald’s signature humor and love of music, delivered in a way only he can.
ABOUT THE COMEDIAN
Comedian, actor, writer and director Kevin McDonald founded "The Kids in the Hall" with friend Dave Foley, after they met in Toronto at Second City, and the television series ran from 1988-1995. In the troupe's television series and stage shows, he portrays several popular recurring characters, such as the King of Empty Promises, Sir Simon Milligan, and Jerry Sizzler.
McDonald went on to appear in a variety of films including Boy Meets Girl, Lilo & Stitch, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, and Epic Movie. On television, he has appeared on The Martin Short Show, Ellen, That '70s Show, Seinfeld, Friends, NewsRadio, MADtv, Arrested Development, and Corner Gas. McDonald has also done voice work for various animated series, including Nickelodeon's Invader Zim, The Angry Beavers, Catscratch, and Clerks: The Animated Series. He also played an imaginary friend named Ivan in the episode Sight For Sore Eyes on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, appeared in the music video for "Roses" by Outkast, and made an appearance in Tim and Eric's Awesome Show.
In 2006 McDonald hosted a CBC Television special, featuring several of Canada's best-known sketch comedy troupes. "Sketch with Kevin McDonald" won a Canadian Comedy Award (Best Taped Live Performance - The Minnesota Wrecking Crew). He was recently at the Just for Laughs Festival with the reunion of Kids in the Hall, and also with his show "Hammy and the Kids" with Craig Northey, based on his two dysfunctional families, his father ("Hammy") and the Kids in the Hall, as well as "Death Comes to Town" on CBC.

Kevin McDonald of Kids in the Hall will be performing Kevin McDonald: Superstar, along with a group of talented Vermont artists. This show -- written by Kevin McDonald about Kevin McDonald and starring Kevin McDonald as "Kevin McDonald" -- is a musical. Is Kevin McDonald known for his singing? He is not! Will it be rehearsed before it's performed? Possibly. Will it be a self-indulgent journey into Kevin's insecure brain? Most definitely.
This is a STAGED READING of Kevin's original Rock Opera, so the performers will have scripts and music on stands in front of them. Think of it like a radio play, but in person. Are we selling it to you yet?
Don't miss this WILD show!
