---Tickets Now Available!---
For over 20 years, Kenny vs. Spenny has been one of Canada's most infamous and beloved comedy exports. The cult television phenomenon built its legacy on outrageous competitions, brutal humiliations, and the never-ending battle between two lifelong friends with completely opposite personalities: Kenny Hotz, the mastermind behind countless schemes and chaos, and Spencer Rice, the perpetually tortured voice of reason.

Beyond Kenny vs. Spenny, Kenny Hotz has left his mark across the comedy world as a writer for the hit animated series South Park, helping shape some of the sharpest and most controversial comedy of the modern era.

Now, for the first time ever, Kenny and Spenny are bringing their legendary rivalry south of the border on their inaugural American tour. Expect behind-the-scenes stories, audience interaction, never before seen clips, and the same unpredictable energy that made them comedy icons.Don't miss a night of non-stop laughter and classic Kenney VS Spenny chaos.
