The Kids in the Hall are set to make a special appearance in Toronto to kick off Fan Expo Canada, the first time the event has run in its regular format in over two years.
Of course. After this, I'm gonna go on my bike ride. This’ll pep me up.I want to ask you off the bat: What was it like reuniting with the gang for this latest series, which is now on Amazon Prime?Well, totally surreal and totally normal. Surreal that I looked over and there's Scott as Fran and I’m Gordon so many years later, but also it's just so normal because we're just doing the thing that we always have done and we're just doing it now.
I think for us, he always instinctively knew that we were kind of going to figure it out ourselves. So what he's always done is got us the space, got us the pick-up, brought us to New York, got us an audience or got us a theatre to try to get an audience. So I think he's instinctively embraced us. But kind of ‘these are the kids that need the hands-off approach,’ which we could find ourselves on our own which was amazing.
I think we realized not early on, but in the middle, that we do what we do and there's enough people there to sell a theatre. Some years it's way better than others, but there's always going to be people there or has been to this point – the reboot included – that want to show up. So we don't have to be the biggest. The biggest goes away. We're just out there doing our stuff and then there's a lot of people like us that are “outsiders.” So in that way, we're good.
So I think the ones who are driven to do it – I don't believe that cliché, ‘couldn’t do anything else’ – but are driven to do it, and kind of like it all the time, which is frustrating for our poor boyfriends, girlfriends and others who live with us.
