The Kids in the Hall Saturday, May 3, at the Warner Theatre

image:

Truth be told, the Kids in the Hall aren’t exactly kids these days. Indeed, Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson are all either in their mid-40s or pushing 50. So, what to expect from this lovable bunch of comedic Canucks during their first major tour in six years: a somber-yet-silly look at growing old or a program of timeless material performed by guys on whom Father Time has had an obvious effect? Well, if their last few performances over the years (including an appearance at Montreal’s 25th annual Just for Laughs comedy festival in 2007) are any indication, you can expect the Kids’ long-lasting approach applied to newer material rather than a rehash of characters and sketches that are, by now, permanently embedded in your head—which may or may not receive a little crushing. The Kids in the Hall perform at 8 p.m. at the Warner Theatre, 13th St. between E & F Sts. NW. $40-$45. (202) 397-7328.
