Kliph Nesteroff, author of The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the History of American Comedy * Globe and Mail *
Paul Myers usually writes biographies about rock stars, and he used that approach to create The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy, the story of possibly the greatest comedy troupe of all time, and Canada’s greatest world citizens. * Vulture *
A terrific account of a truly unique sensation. * Kirkus Reviews *
