Award-winning sketch troupe, Uncalled For are proud to present the Ontario premiere of PLAYDAY MAYDAY at Theatre Passe Muraille from November 24 - December 4, 2016. The sketch troupe known for a stream-of-conscious style of comedy bring their new show to Toronto as a celebration of the nostalgic.

PLAYDAY MAYDAY is a tale about a group of adults rediscovering the joy and nostalgia of games from their childhood. Five friends reunite in their hometown, but after a freak accident, find themselves in another world where games come alive and the lines blur between real life and gameplay. From Twister to Twenty Questions, PLAYDAY MAYDAY touches on references and reboots, but focuses more on how friends and family once engaged with one another. The Montreal Gazette raved that PLAYDAY MAYDAY is "Hilarious... a journey through a maze of surreal fantasies, seeded with great running gags which eventually tie the whole zany package together."

"PLAYDAY MAYDAY is a little more mature than some of our past shows. We have grown to embrace our theatre backgrounds and have come up with the tightest narrative of any show we've done before." said Uncalled For writer/performer, Matt Goldberg. "But it's still 100% the Uncalled For people have come to expect. Our voice, our craziness, our energy."

Performing together for over 15 years, Uncalled For is comprised of five writer-performers and one designer/production manager. The Award-winning troupe is also Canadian Comedy Award-nominated and has played the stages of Just For Laughs, Next Stage Theatre Festival, Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival and many more.
