== Tours == === 2000 North American Tour === {{refsection|date=October 2017}} In 2000, the troupe reformed for a successful North American tour, reprising many sketches from the show. The sketch line-up for the 2000 show was: # AT & Love Reunion # Mr. Heavyfoot Finds His Seat # Buddy Cole β The Year 2000 # Cops! # Daddy's Dyin' # Head Crusher / Face Pincher # Jesus 2000! # Sir Simon Milligan & Hecubus in: The Pit of Ultimate Darkness # Gavin: Painting a chair # Comfortable # Sandwich People # Chicken Lady's Date # Power of the Suburbs # Bloody Salty Ham # Monologue by Brian on having a party when Fran and Gordon go on Vacation # Love Me # Fran: Brian's Bombshell # Jesus Christ Superstar # Encore: To Reg At some shows: # Running Faggot # The Poker Game The tour was chronicled in a documentary, ''Kids in the Hall: Same Guys, New Dresses'', which followed the next year. This was then followed by the "Tour of Duty", and a DVD based on those performances, released in 2002. === "Just for Laughs" ("Juste Pour Rire") Comedy Festival === In July 2007, the Kids reunited to perform at the 25th Annual "[[Just for Laughs]]" ("Juste Pour Rire") Comedy Festival in [[Montreal]]. The Just For Laughs show premiered about 90 minutes of new material. While certain characters made reappearances (Buddy Cole, Mr. Tyzik and McKinney and McCulloch's "smooth-talking" salesmen), the rest of the show revolved around entirely new material. Typically good-humored, the group poked numerous jokes at their own recent weight gain, and the state of their post-Kids acting careers. Among the sketches: * The Kids plan a new show. For the opening, they rape McDonald to the theme from ''[[Footloose]]''. * Salesmen (McCulloch and McKinney) promote a device which can siphon fat from the American gut and use it to power [[SUV]]s. * "Carfuckers": a group of mechanics who share a "love for which there is no name". The sketch was produced by an internet studio called "60Frames Entertainment".<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.60frames.com/kidsinthehall| title=Car Fuckers Video| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120416003414/http://www.60frames.com/kidsinthehall| archive-date=April 16, 2012| website=60Frames Entertainment| url-status=dead}}</ref> * Gavin encounters [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] (one of two sketches recreated from the television show). * Foley and McDonald get drunk; Foley tells McDonald he has created a time machine with which he can "defeat last call". * Foley travels back in time to receive [[oral sex]] from his wife (McCulloch), who would only perform the act on his birthday. * Foley travels back in time to kill [[Adolf Hitler]] (Thompson) but instead accidentally inspires his [[antisemitism]]. * Two exceptionally literate [[rat-catcher]]s (McCulloch and McKinney) look for a used futon. * Buddy Cole speculates that [[Jesus]] was homosexual. * Kathy (McCulloch) and Cathy (Thompson) reunite for lunch in a restaurant, where Kathy extols the virtues of "tweeking" with [[methamphetamine]]. * Foley is approached by a "fan" (Thompson) while waiting for the subway. * A McCulloch monologue about how skinny [[Nicole Richie]] is. * Foley and McCulloch fight over an imaginary girlfriend. * The Chicken Lady has [[phone sex]] (one of two sketches recreated from the television show). * The relationship woes of a gay couple (Foley and Thompson) are placated with the help of another married gay couple known as Peter and the Professor (McDonald and McKinney). * Superdrunk: a [[superhero]] who stops crimes by drinking (McCulloch), assisted by his trusty sidekick, the bartender (Foley). * The show finished with Mr. Tyzik (McKinney) mocking the mannerisms and careers of each member of the troupe, after which he promptly crushed their heads. The group also performed on January 26β27, 2008, at the SF Sketchfest. On January 26, there was a retrospective and Q&A with the group. === 2008 North American Tour === On April 4, 2008, The Kids in the Hall embarked on their first major national tour in six years. The tour ran through early June 2008, and included more than 30 cities in the US and Canada. The tour featured some material from the 2007 "Just for Laughs" performance, along with new material.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article/7008/news/music/kids_in_the_hall_announce_2008_tour| title=Kids in the Hall announce 2008 tour| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515195236/http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article/7008/news/music/kids_in_the_hall_announce_2008_tour| archive-date=May 15, 2008| first=Sara| last=Miller| magazine=[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]]| access-date=2024-03-21| df=mdy-all}}</ref> The 2008 tour closely mirrored the "Just for Laughs" performance, excluding the rat catchers, subway fan and Nicole Ritchie sketches. In their stead, Mark McKinney performed the monologue titled "The Modern Hero" from Season 1 of the show, and the entire cast performed the sketch "This Is How I Danced in Tenth Grade."
