Good grief.
Dead Parents Society is a dark sketch comedy revue created by a group of comedians who each lost a parent at a young age.
Grief connects us to the most basic truth about humanity - everyone will experience loss in their lifetime. But the experience of navigating grief, in a society that teaches us to put our sadness away, taught us that the aftermath of tragedy can be funny AF. Directed by Canadian comedy award-winning director Kirsten Rasmussen, this is a show about love and loss with equal parts heart and humour.
They say tragedy plus time equals comedy. Dead Parents Society, a dark sketch comedy revue directed by Kirsten Rasmussen, will shine a light at the end of the tunnel at the 2023 Next Stage Theatre Festival at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.

DEAD PARENTS SOCIETY is a sketch comedy revue about mourning. Each skit addresses the death of a parent, the mourning process, going back to work or dating after loss. The premises are grim. The pain is real: each of the performers has lost a parent. The mood is anguished. And the show is hilarious.
They say tragedy plus time equals comedy. Dead Parents Society, a new sketch comedy revue directed by Kirsten Rasmussen, will shine a light at the end of the tunnel on November 1 and 2 at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
