Sunnyside is a Canadian sketch comedy television series, which premiered January 9, 2015 on City.[1] Created by Dan Redican and Gary Pearson, the series is set in the fictional neighbourhood of Sunnyside and features sketches depicting various eccentric recurring characters living there.[2]
The cast includes Pat Thornton, Patrice Goodman, Alice Moran, Kevin Vidal, Kathleen Phillips, Rob Norman and Norm Macdonald.[1] The show was made in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[3]
Redican and Pearson had each approached Rogers Communications with individual show ideas. Neither were accepted but Rogers was interested in having them combine their ideas into a single show. They agreed and created Sunnyside patterning their fictional neighbourhood after Toronto's Parkdale.[4]
