Crave TV’S breakout comedy Letterkenn­y brings live show to Granada

- Record Staff

The stars of Cravetv’s hugely popular, award-winning comedy series ‘Letterkenn­y’ will be bringing their live road show “LETTERKENN­Y LIVE! to Sherbrooke’s Granada Theatre this spring with appearance­s by all the show’s stars.

The evening consists of a 90-minute experience starring Jared Keeso (Wayne), Nathan Dales (Daryl), K Trevor Wilson (Dan) and Mark Forward (Coach) and begins in Halifax on February 28 for a cross-country tour. Presented by Puppers Premium Lager and Cravetv, the 26-city tour will offer original sketches played by the show’s stars as well as the standup routines of Wilson and Forward. Stops are planned in Sherbrooke, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and several other cities, to conclude at the Vancouver Orpheum on April 5. The Granada show is scheduled for March 4.

Currently in his third season, Letterkenn­y tells the story of the clashes between Wayne and his friends and their opponents in small town in Ontario: the "Hicks", the "Skids" and the "Hockey Players". Created by Keeso, this first-ever original series from Bell Media's on-demand streaming service, Cravetv immediatel­y captured the country's attention with its quirky, rapid-fire, and often daring comedy and won the Best Comedy Series, Best Screenplay for a Comedy and Best Director of a Comedy Series awards at the 2017 Canadian Screen Awards. Keeso and co-writer / director Jacob Tierney also received an award from the Writers Guild of Canada for the scriptwrit­ing of a comedy series.

In September, fans enjoyed a public reading of a classic episode of the series starring Keeso, Dales, Wilson and others at the Toronto Comedy Festival Tours in Sudbury, Ontario and surroundin­g areas. The first 3 seasons of Letterkenn­y and the recent Halloween special "The Haunting of Mo'deans II" are currently available on demand on Cravetv (cravetv.ca).
