Bruce McCulloch (The Kids in the Hall) returns to Comedy Country with his latest live show. Dark Purple Slice features his trademark dark humour with a warm human heart at the centre. It premiered last year in Calgary in a run of 3 shows at One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo. The show, which includes plenty of Bruce’s trademark musical comedy, launches alongside a new record.
