1983.

Bruce McCulloch and Mark McKinney had a sketch troupe in Calgary called The Audience.

They developed at the Loose Moose Comedy Theatre and did a couple of pilots for CBC Radio, but that was it for showbiz in Alberta.

In early 1983, Bruce and Mark and the rest of The Audience moved to Toronto. They were booked on the same bill as a Toronto sketch troupe called the Kids in the Hall, which featured Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald.
