“Letterkenny Live” 2022 North American Tour

April 19, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 7:30 pm

A show that’s every bit as rude, raucous, and hilarious as the TV series that fans know and love, Letterkenny Live is back. Audiences can expect more of the same good times they had when the Letterkenny gang headed off the screen for their very first Canadian tour in the spring of 2018.

The sold-out dates all over the country were a sign of the phenomenon that the show has become in the years since viewers first got a taste of its gleefully profane yet lovable sensibility. Letterkenny made its debut in 2013 as a web series that spoofed the ways and attitudes of rural folks like the kind that co-creator Jared Keeso knew growing up in the farm town of Listowel, Ontario. Racking up tens of millions of YouTube views, the original videos established a unique brand of comedy, one that could be crude, affectionate, and wickedly clever all at once.

With their instantly quotable and reliably foul-mouthed dialogue, the characters played by Keeso and his pals had little trouble making the transition as the show evolved from a viral sensation to a full-fledged sitcom. Set in the titular town, Letterkenny has become a favorite destination for viewers of Crave and The Comedy Network in Canada. And with the addition of the show to Hulu in 2018, Letterkenny expanded its following in the U.S., where more and more audiences are getting acquainted with the show’s motley crew of idiotic hockey players, sketchy skids, and sarcastic hicks like Wayne (Keeso), Daryl (Nathan Dales), and Squirrely Dan (K. Trevor Wilson), the three buddies who always find themselves in the middle of the idiocy.

Billed as a 90-minute comedy experience featuring Keeso, Dales, Wilson, and Mark Forward — who fans will recognize as the hockey team’s hot-headed coach – shows on the Letterkenny Live! The Encore Tour combine performances of beloved sketches with additional material not seen on TV or on the original tour. Two of Canada’s sharpest stand-ups, Wilson and Forward also perform solo sets. So as Wayne himself might say, “Pitter-patter, let’s get at ‘er.”
