Despite hailing from Canada instead of the U.K., THE KIDS IN THE HALL emerged as the spiritual heirs of the Monty Python troupe, thanks to a penchant for bizarre left turns and its all-male cast dressing in drag to portray female characters. Their celebrated sketch comedy show of the same name in the late ’80s and early ’90s delighted and bemused comedy fans with sketches as head-shakingly surreal as they were laugh-out-loud funny, and launched successful post-Kids careers for the troupe, most notably Dave Foley (“NewsRadio”) and Mark McKinney (“Saturday Night Live”). Will recurring characters like the Chicken Lady, gay socialite Buddy Cole and Mr. Tyzik (aka the Headcrusher) make an appearance during this tour stop? Well, there’s only one way to find out, isn’t there? 8 p.m. Saturday, May 24 at the Cobb Energy Centre. 404-249-6400. www.cobbenergycentre.com.
