Recently Announced: Taggart and Torrens’ Comedy and Canadianity

Jonathan Torrens (Trailer Park Boys, Mr. D, Wipeout Canada) and Jeremy Taggart (Our Lady Peace, TSN 1050, Jay and Dan Podcast) are taking their popular TAGGART & TORRENS podcast on the road, coming through the Exchange in Regina on November 18.

Dubbed the “Comedy & Canadianity Tour”, every live show will be a combo of podcast favourites (Poem Sayin, Hit the Post, Callin Pranks) and games specifically tailored to each geographical destination (Saskatunes). “Bahds” will not only get to see the show, they’ll get to be the show by volunteering to play along in their seats and on the stage.

“We’ve road-tested TnT Live with great success,” says Torrens. “Every time it’s been equal parts hilarious and heart-warming. People have such great affection for this country –– and you never know what special guests might show up!”

Since January, Taggart and Torrens has exploded into the homes and hearts of Canadians, with 750,000 downloads on iTunes. Throw in another 250k listens on Soundcloud and it’s proof –– Canucks from coast to coast to coast are falling for Jonathan and Jeremy’s cocktail of tales from the road and silly party games. Mostly they’re responding to the fiercely proud patriotism and nostalgic bent of TnT, something “The Bahds” have branded #canadianity.

“I can’t wait to criss-cross this country and meet all the bahds”, says Taggart. “Everywhere we go now people want to reminisce about a certain TV show from our childhood or a forgotten band from the 70’s.”

Consistently in the top five comedy podcasts in Canada (often at #1) and almost always in the top 10 overall , Taggart and Torrens is at the forefront of a new sensation that’s sweeping the nation like a curling broom: #CANADIANITY.

Taggart and Torrens Comedy and Canadianity Tour is in the Exchange on Wednesday, November 18. Advance tickets are available at Vintage Vinyl and online at TicketEdge. All ages and licensed.
