2 SAME GUYS (BC)

Michelle Hart and Allie Entwistle have both been performing sketch comedy for over a decade. Their credits include Just For Laughs Vancouver, The Second City, Toronto Sketchfest, The Portland Sketch Comedy Festival, and MSC Cruise Lines. They’ve been performing apart for years, afraid of how powerful they would become if they came together on stage, but have decided to risk it all this year to perform together just for you at Montreal Sketchfest. The result? A hybrid show where they each perform their own solo character work, before bringing their characters together for scenes that burn so bright, you legally shouldn’t watch them for too long. The result is part solo show, sketch collaboration, and part live experiment in whether two actual maniacs can share a stage.
