BRUCE MCCULLOCH: TALES OF BRAVERY AND STUPIDITY to be Presented Off-Broadway  Image

Comedian, actor, writer, director and Kid In The Hall, Bruce McCulloch has announced the off-Broadway run of his new show, Bruce McCulloch: Tales of Bravery and Stupidity, running June 1 - 12 at SoHo Playhouse. Produced by Westbeth Entertainment, performances are Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 5:00 PM. Tickets are on sale now available at SoHo Playhouse.

Bruce McCulloch: Tales of Bravery and Stupidity is a one-man show that moves brilliantly between funny, relatable and surprisingly touching. Using music, stand-up, and storytelling, Bruce McCulloch takes us on a poetic flyover of his life "pursuing stories" and makes an unspoken agreement with the audience to contemplate the world together. Tales combines Bruce's knack for effin' funny observations with his humanistic yearnings, looking at the bravely stupid things he's done, and things we all do as we try and make sense of our messy lives.

Bruce McCulloch is a Canadian actor, writer, and director with a career spanning television, theatre and film. Bruce will star in the new Kids in the Hall series premiering May 13 on Amazon Prime and in the documentary, Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks, premiering May 20 on Amazon Prime.

Bruce has written or performed several one-man shows including Two-Headed Roommate, Jazz Stenographers, and Slightly Bigger. Tales is the first one-man show to run in New York.

His first book, Let's Start a Riot was released by Harper Collins and Tales will be the basis for his next book. He released two spoken word/comedy/music CDs: Shame-based Man and The Drunk Baby Project.

In television, Bruce has written and performed in Young Drunk Punk (a series inspired by his own life), Death Comes to Town, and This Blows (web series) all for CBC, and he created Carpoolers for ABC. He has directed such shows as SNL, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Schitt's Creek, and Trailer Park Boys. Most recently, Bruce directed and produced the third season of the sketch series, TallBoyz, for CBC, which is now available to watch on Fuse.

Bruce has also written and/or directed several films including Dog Park, Superstar, Stealing Harvard and Comeback Season.
