Troupe of the Day – Uncalled For

Posted on: November 10th, 2011 by psnepsts

Each day leading up (and during) to the 2011 Festival, the TOsketchfest Blog will feature one of our 40+ awesome comedy troupes.

Today’s troupe of the day is Uncalled For.

2008 Best of the Fest Award Winners, Uncalled For take the stage TONIGHT at The Second City with their hit comedic play “Hypnogogic Logic.” This stream of consciousness comedic adventure won the Just For Laughs Best Comedy Award, Montreal Fringe 2010. This past summer, they relaunched their website www.weareuncalledfor.com with a slew of web shorts for your viewing pleasure.

Fun Fact: Anders Yates and Dan Jeannotte were founding members of the comedy-dance tribe Dance Animal. They were dancers and writers for the Montreal-based company. Dance Animal’s debut show “Dance Animal presents: Dance Animal” won the Just For Laughs Best Comedy Award and broke the Montreal Fringe’s box-office record (a record previously held by Uncalled For).

Hypnogogic Logic returns to Toronto TONIGHT AT THE SECOND CITY!
