Scott Thompson appears as Buddy Cole in King

For a limited three-night engagement at the intimate Simcoe Street Theatre, Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall fame will be appearing in Collingwood with a one-man show based around his most famous monologuing character, Buddy Cole.

Thompson brings his most famous character, lounge lizard Buddy Cole, to his new show King, which promises an evening of hilarious and sometimes incendiary monologues never before seen on television and a series of brand new monologues written for the recent revival that were deemed ‘ too hot for Amazon.’

Buddy is back, funnier, sillier and yet somehow more dangerous than ever. Join him in an intimate setting as he mixes up martinis and dishes out the dirt on his fabulous globe trotting life all while reflecting on everything from the fractured state of the LGBTQT+ community to controversial ways to cure cancer to the proper way to woo a despot.

The show also features Collingwood- based comedian Daniel Shaw as the opening act.

King runs May 17-19. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. at The Simcoe Street Theatre, 65 Simcoe Street, Collingwood.

Tickets cost $35 and are available at www.theatrecollingwood.ca, by calling 705-445-2200, or in person at 150 St. Paul Street, Suite 201.

This show contains explicit themes, language, and content. Attendees must be 18+.
