The Kids in the Hall

This is a fun, breezy take on the story of the Kids in the Hall. While you can get the same story distilled into the recent—and excellent—two-part 80-minute Amazon Prime documentary “Comedy Punks” (the author of this book also served as an Executive Producer on the documentary), the book format naturally allows for greater detail. For casual fans, the documentary is probably sufficient, but if you own all the DVDs and have sketches committed to memory like me, you’ll appreciate the extra depth.

This was a very nice history of the sketch comedy group, from their origins in different parts of Canada, to getting their TV series, making the film "Brain Candy", and their revival, "Death Comes to Town". We learn a lot about their personalities, and I found it very interesting.
