Buddy Cole Claims that Jesus Was Gay
During their second sketch of the night, Buddy Cole (Scott Thompson) providing the audience with a sidesplitting monologue, claimed that the Son of God was in fact a homo. As sharp as any sketch from the prime of their careers, it was obvious that the Kids in the Hall still haven't lost their comedic touch.
It's been a while since The Kids in the Hall have displayed their hilariously absurd comedy to a public audience, last touring back in 2000. This past weekend they performed four times at the Nokia Theater in Times Square.
In the late 80s till the mid 90s, the Kids in the Hall brought the world some of the best absurd sketch comedy since the days of Monty Pythons Flying Circus. Characters like The Headcrusher, Buddy Cole, The Bird Lady and Running Faggot will always be remembered. Bruce McColluch, Kevin McDonald, Dave Foley, Scott Thompson, and Mark McKinney have aged, but their comedy hasn't. It's still fresh and just like the Monty Python crew, the Kids may actually have grown sillier with agewhich is far from common in the comedy world, just ask Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase...etc. Every bit as funny as they were in their prime 15 years ago, they still know how to offend, and they make for funny women.
