"But I’ll always, of course, think of Dave as my number one."

Back in the Hall: Dave Foley

Your partnership with Kevin continued into the series. There are a lot of sketches with the two of you and it’s easy to imagine you writing in Second City workshops.
We worked together for a while before the two troupes merged. Kevin and I were writing partners, and definitely performing partners, within the troupe. To this day, there’s still usually a couple of Kevin and Dave sketches. A couple of two-handers.
What do you owe that dynamic to? What about Kevin have you always found so fun to work with?
We have a really good sense of each other’s rhythm. We always knew what the other guy was going to do on stage at any time. We could always get inside each other’s rhythm, where if you had somebody else do it, the sketch would just bomb.
Is it the kind of thing that can only come from working together for such a long time?
There’s that. But it was also there the first day we met each other. There was a kinship. We both knew what was funny about the other guy.


What I Love Most About Canada by Kevin McDonald

We Canadians think and worry too much — and thus we think and worry too much about ourselves. If countries were comedians, the U.S. would be Andrew Dice Clay and Canada would be Woody Allen. Yes. I see Canada as a short, balding man with thick glasses who stutters when talking to a girl.

Two 'Kids in the Hall' take a shot at stand-up

“It’s been an organic thing,” he said. “We had characters at the beginning (of the tour), and as we went along, we realized it didn’t really work in stand-up clubs, so we decided to be ourselves. You can’t really do sketch comedy holding a microphone.”

“I do a whole set, about 20 minutes, I’m talking about my childhood, about how I thought I was a mulatto because I didn’t feel like other people. My second set is, I do a lot of sexuality, not just homosexuality, but necrophilia and bestiality.

“Kevin hasn’t done stand-up like I have, so his stuff is really changing. Kevin and I have such chemistry, when I’m on stage with him nothing, can throw me.”
