Vidiots is tickled pink to welcome comedy legend Scott Thompson for a special 30th Anniversary screening of the comedy cult classic Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy.
Your serotonin is about to shoot through the roof when everyone’s favorite Canadian sketch comedy troupe takes on Big Pharma in this ridiculously demented laugh riot. In a rush to launch a new anti-depressant onto the market, a shifty pharmaceutical company fast-tracks a scientist’s breakthrough pill Gleemonex that makes people remember their happiest memory, and although it’s successful, it has unfortunate side effects that the company is all too willing to hide to protect their profit margins! Like any true cult classic, this brilliantly bonkers social satire opened to an underwhelming reception, but over the last 30 years an ever-growing cult of Candyphiles have recognized the forward-thinking brilliance of the Kids and their gender-bending, consumerist-skewering, oddball-extravaganza that is Brain Candy!
