The Vestibules
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vestibules (formerly known as Radio Free Vestibule) is a Canadian surrealist comedy troupe composed of Terence Bowman, Paul Pare, and Bernard Deniger.
The trio of Montrealers, who originally named themselves after Radio Free Europe, began performing in 1987, with brief comedy segments during other programs on CBC radio. They were also featured in the late 80s on CKUT 90.3, McGill University's student radio station. They rapidly became known for such finely absurdist sketches as "Bulbous Bouffant" and for their satirical songs, including "I don't want to go to Toronto". The video for their "Grunge Song", a catchy and successful parody of early 1990s song writing, was frequently shown on MuchMusic.
Since then, they have had regular radio programs, television appearances, live performances, and Sketches, Songs, and Shoes, a CD of their novelty songs (including The Ballad of Marshall McLuhan and You're a Hamburger).
The trio are currently working with Sardine Productions to produce what is claimed to be the "first all-animated sketch comedy series", called Vestibule City. [1]
