Latest Air Farce DVD • AIR FARCE LIVE • Available Now! Click Here!

LOLFor our 15th season on CBC Television, Air Farce became the only live prime-time comedy show on North American TV.  We wanted the excitement of performing the show in real-time, with no second takes, and up-to-the-last-minute topicality.  It was a high-speed roller-coaster ride for our cast and production crew –- sets moving in, make-up and costume changes, all accomplished with split-second timing.
It worked really well, too!  No doors refused to open, no lights exploded, no pants fell down on live tv.  Okay, we had a few glitches… and some are on this DVD.  Check out Jessica and Craig trying to keep a straight face in “Cross Border Car Shopper” and “Prime Minister’s Choice”, and together with Penelope, bravely pressing through to the end of “Vomit Virus”, even if Craig’s moustache doesn’t.

As well as live studio sketches, some great “Farce Films” are included – digital shorts, shot on location.  “Rink Widow” and “Indiana Jenkins” are instant classics.

All the hot topics of 2007/2008 are covered – the rise of the Canadian dollar, Barrack Obama’s emergence, Amy Winehouse’s behaviour, Sister Bessie’s Awards, and the usual Air Farce mix of highs and lows, politics and fun.s a double-dose of Air Farce comedy, Canada's favourite social networking tool. The faves from 2007 disc features 43 top scenes from last season on CBC Television, taking pokes and potshots at outsourced phone centres, Mac ads and iPods, oddball comedy moments with Britney and Sir Paul, and irresistible targets like politics and politicians.

Click here to order your copy now, or call 416-205-3828; you can also order any of our previous Air Farce DVDs and even purchase Air Farce Live T-shirts, just like Jessica's (HD television not included!). Mugs and memo cubes also available. Supply is limited, so order yours today!
