Scott Thompson as Buddy Cole in KING
May 17, 18, 19
The Simcoe Street Theatre
Showtime: 8pm
Opening Act: Local Comedian Daniel Shaw
Scott Thompson from the ‘Kids in the Hall’ brings his most famous character, lounge lizard ‘Buddy Cole’, to the Simcoe Street Theatre for a 3 night run of his new show ‘KING’.
An evening of hilarious and sometimes incendiary monologues never before seen on television to a series of brand new monologues written for the recent revival that were deemed ‘ TOO HOT FOR AMAZON’, this is a show you can’t miss.
Buddy is back, funnier, sillier and yet somehow more dangerous than ever. Join him in an intimate setting as he mixes up martini’s and dishes out the dirt on his fabulous globe trotting life all while reflecting on everything from the fractured state of the LGBTQT+ community to controversial ways to cure cancer to the proper way to woo a despot. Warning: If you like riotous boundary pushing comedy this is definitely the most fun you will have in the third week of May!
