  • Bruce McCulloch of the legendary Canadian comedy troupe Kids in the Hall brings his one-man show "Young Drunk Punk" to Banff. Chronicling McCulloch's FUBAR-style early days as a young punk in 1980s Calgary to his flannel plaid days and futon nights in Toronto during the 1990s, and ultimately becoming a mature father of two living in the Hollywood Hills, where he plays a game with his kids called, "Daddy can't get out of the bathtub." McCulloch has written and/or directed several films, including "Dog Park" with Luke Wilson, "Superstar" with Will Ferrell, and "Comeback Season" with Ray Liotta.
    McCulloch is accompanied on stage by guitarist Brian Connelly of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet -- who provided the iconic Kids in the Hall with its jangly surf-rock score. "Young Drunk Punk" is directed by Blake Brooker, co-founder and co-artistic director of "One Yellow Rabbit."
    Young Drunk Punk contains adult content.
