Bruce McCulloch in 'Peg Nov. 9-11

Former Kid In The Hall Bruce McCulloch will be coming to Winnipeg to perform his one-man show Slightly Bigger Cities at the Prairie Theatre Exchange Nov. 9 - 11.
The Edmonton-born, Calgary-raised McCulloch describes the play as "a theatre-rock-dance-poetry-comedy show about the weird and sad things in the world that obsess me."
A six-year veteran of the sketch comedy series Kids In The Hall, McCulloch has become something of a media Renaissance man since the show went off the air in 1995. He's written and performed three other one-man plays. He cut the comedy/music album Shame-Based Man in 1995. And more recently, he's become a full-fledged filmmaker, with a directing credit on the Saturday Night Live comedy Superstar, which posted a respectable No. 3 at the box office last weekend.
In a recent interview in Los Angeles, McCulloch told the Sun the transition from writer-actor to director was inevitable.
"I came in because I have a writer's brain and I think of myself as a writer, certainly more than a director," he says, adding that he has more in common with his SNL cast than his experience with Lorne Michaels, who produced Kids In The Hall and still produces SNL.
"I came out through the Saturday Night Live mould, which is that you're responsible for your own work as a writer," he says.
After touring Slightly Bigger Cities, McCulloch is scheduled to do a live reunion tour with his Kids In The Hall co-stars.
"We'd been trying for two years to have our schedules coalesce," he says.
According to Pollstar, the Kids In The Hall tour will kick off in Vancouver on Jan. 13, 2000, and end Feb. 27 in Detroit. Winnipeg is not on the list of scheduled playdates, but the Kids are scheduled to play the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis Feb. 25.
Tickets to Slightly Bigger Cities are $25 and go on sale Oct. 16
