This comedy season will include a wide variety of comedy shows by icons in the comedy scene such as the iconic group the middle aged boy band who is on their comeback tour. If you’re wondering who these guys are they are a parody group that taps into pop nostalgia and is known for taking it to the next level. Think back to the era of NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, and One Direction and the Backstreet Boys. Now imagine those bands, but instead of the young handsome talented pop stars its more washed-up pop stars struggling to hit those high notes, battling with receding hairlines, and more dad bod like but embraces all of it with pride.
This Iconic comedy group will be stopping at The Hub International Theatre in Chilliwack and the Chief Sepass Theatre in Langley for their the comeback you never thought you needed tour. If you are a fan of throwback pop aesthetics and that good old boy band nostalgia, then this show is something you should check out.
