Welcome back to the 247th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 247th episode we have a new artist interview. This particular conversation is between our our Co-Artistic Producer Mackenzie and the sketch comedy troupe members Rami Khan of Potato Potato and Becky Ablack of Small Friend Tall Friend. Both of whom are fresh off their appearance in the very first installment of Spotlight at The Second City—a brand-new Toronto series where the city’s best and emerging sketch troupes present their sharpest 30 minutes. Together these three discuss their comedy origin stories, favourite political impressions, how they built their Spotlight sets, and the art of tackling divisive topics in today’s polarized world.Spotlight at The Second City series continues on a monthly basis at The Second City Toronto (1 York Street, Toronto, ON, Canada).
