\nPORTMANTEAU (MONTREAL) <\/p>\n
Imagine the two most annoying people you can think of…no no, even more annoying. Now, put them on stage for 20 minutes. Pat and Alex (Palex) have been friends and collaborators for years, and are finally coming together to maximize their joint slay on the Theatre Ste Catherine stage. There will be yelling. There will be dancing. There will be crying (unrelated to the show). There will be a sketch where Pat plays a straight guy. It will be wet ‘n’ wild, magical, hysterical and historical. F*ck off, Branjelina, Bennifer, and Bennifer Garner – there’s a new PORTMANTEAU in town.<\/p>\n

(MONTREAL)\r\n\r\nPun Intended! is a Montreal sketch troupe featuring Christian, Ga\u00ebl, Thomas, Mahsa, and Andrea, five performers with various backgrounds in sketch comedy, stand up, music, improv, clown, theatre and dance.\r\n\r\nThough they have crossed paths in various shows and creative projects around the city, this marks the first time they have joined forces as a dedicated troupe. Pun Intended! brings together their different styles and strengths to create fast paced, playful comedy that highlights each performer\u2019s voice.\r\n\r\nExpect clever wordplay, musical bits, bold characters, and the occasional burst of physical comedy. With sharp writing and high energy performances, the troupe brings together artists with various backgrounds to create bold, collaborative comedy.\r\n\r\nBecause when five comedic collaborators walk into a sketch show, the result is exactly what the name promises: Pun Intended!\r\n\r\nCHEAP WINE (TORONTO)\r\n\r\nCheap Wine has been described as: \u201cthe perfect blend of deadpan and whackadoodle\u201d, \u201csuccessfully unique\u201d, \u201cjoyfully absurdist\u201d, \u201craunchy and fun\u201d, \u201cso fully alienating that I dissociated\u201d. This show is about doctors.\r\n\r\nCheap Wine is family. For real. As in, two of them lived together as children and two of them live together now as life partners and they\u2019ve all known each other since before they could (legally) buy their own cheap wine. That\u2019s sweet and wholesome, also kind of weird! \r\n\r\nThey won the Audience Choice Award at Toronto Sketchfest 2025, sold out their wine-tasting comedy show \u2018Is It Juice?\u2019 and were voted the 2023 Toronto Sketchfest \u2018Sketchiest Sketch Troupe'. They've performed in festivals and shows throughout Toronto and across North America together, including most recently at Second City Toronto and Toronto Fringe Festival, and they've created award-winning film sketches along the way. This is their 4th Montreal Sketchfest (????????????), and they are so honoured and excited to be here.\r\n\r\nThey have a website that is www.cheapwine.cheap (yes, really) an Instagram that is @itscheapwine.\r\n\r\nTHE UNDERSTUDIES (TORONTO)\r\n\r\nThe Understudies are a seasoned Toronto-based sketch troupe featuring Rob Knox, Meg MacKeigan and Justin Skinner.\r\n\r\nTogether, they perform fast-paced, polished sketches with characters and scenarios that turn common tropes upside down, peppering familiar scenes with stupidity, strangeness, and occasionally existential darkness. Beyond standard sketch comedy, the Understudies add music, messiness and straight-up madness, though each scene somehow remains grounded and coherent. Expect unexpected twists and turns! Just come along for the ride! They promise it\u2019ll be fun!\r\n\r\nActive from 2000 to 2010, the Understudies retired and then resurfaced in 2022 and have since played in the past four Toronto Sketch Comedy Festivals, winning the Producer\u2019s Pick award in 2025. They also founded the TOSF's Understudies Memorial Sketchiest Sketch Troupe Award in 2011.\r\n\r\nThey also made the finals of the 2025 Sketch to the Death competition and have performed throughout their sketch careers at Just for Laughs Toronto, the Cream of Comedy, and the We\u2019re Funny That Way Festival, among countless other shows.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\"https:\/\/thepointofsale.com\/tickets\/mtlsketchfest9?lang=en\" url_new_window=\"on\" button_text=\"Tickets\" button_alignment=\"center\" admin_label=\"Button\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[19,335],"class_list":["post-13491","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-music","tribe_events_cat-musique-en","cat_music","cat_musique-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13497,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/13491\/revisions\/13497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13491"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatresaintecatherine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=13491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
