“Brilliant!”
Kids These Days is a supergroup of diverse talent, a la Ocean’s 11, with a Swiss Army Knife of surprises they use to constantly delight audiences. They put on a true variety sketch show, with each performance filled with stage sketches, digital sketches, musical numbers, celebrity impressions, and more! Audiences might see a ‘90s R&B boy band singing a sexy song about women’s rights, a man who takes his shirt off every time he eats a hot dog, Senator Elizabeth Warren trying out for the Mary Poppins sequel, a school play about holidays starring Ramadan, a bar mitzvah, and more. Sketches inhabit different senses of humor and perspectives in the world, surprising the audience with something unexpected at every turn.
“Usually I’m not a sketch comedy person. You guys showed me that sketch comedy can be my thing!”
“Really funny.”
