MTL Sketchfest with ALASDAIR T-B (MTL), 24 DOUBLE B (TO), and CHEAP WINE (TO)

ALASDAIR T-B (Montreal)

Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall likes sketch and for over ten years has come up with ideas for sketches on the Two in the Think Tank podcast. On occasions he will turn those sketch ideas into sketches.

24 DOUBLE B (Toronto)

24 Double B is not just here for the classic fart jokes (though don’t worry, those are still on the menu), but they’re also ready to drop some surprisingly deep takes on the sociopolitical landscape. It’s like a smooth blend of comedy and commentary, with just enough lightheartedness to keep you comfy, casual, and totally ready for a night of sketch comedy that’ll make you think, laugh, and maybe even question your life choices—all without getting too heavy. However almost the entirety of what you just read was a lie.

CHEAP WINE (Toronto)

Cheap Wine is family. For real, they are in-laws. As in they spend holidays together and two of them have the same parents and two of them have a marriage certificate. Try to figure out who is what to who, how much is based on real life, and if spending this much time together is healthy. A family troupe! That’s sweet and wholesome, but it’s also kind of weird!

Toronto Sketchfest 2025 Winners of the AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD

« The perfect mix of deadpan and whackadoodle », Cheap Wine is Jack Creaghan, Jesse McQueen & Charlotte Creaghan. They were the Sketchiest Sketch Troupe at Toronto Sketchfest 2023, and they have performed all around Toronto, New York City, and at Montréal Sketchfest.

They also make comedy films, and those have screened at some festivals and won some awards. One of Jack’s films, The Future is a Joke? won the Toronto Sketchfest 2024 Film Festival. Jesse was in it. Charlotte wasn’t, but she was in another movie (In A Violent Nature) that went to Sundance and she got to go to that instead!

Their inspirations are their own real-life insecurities, embarrassments, frustrations and fears. Cause that’s the good stuff!
