Glenys Marshall and Maggie May Harder are an award-winning comedy duo known for their sketch, improv, standup, music, and being the first to suggest charades at house parties. Together, they consistently keep audiences in a delicious limbo of befuddled and enthralled, and delight in finding new ways to surprise the spectators as well as each other. Founded on queer liberation, anti-capitalist rhetoric, and getting a little bit gross, this show is like a late night cartoon you’re staying up past your bedtime to watch. Come watch their residency at the Gladstone, featuring brand new sketch, standup, and music that will make you go “Haha! What was that?”
“My face genuinely hurt from laughing, and I think that’s the strongest praise I can give.” ~Apt613
“Familiar tropes are turned on their heads and stretched beyond recognition. […] inventive and endearing.” ~Winnipeg Free Press
