Picnicface was a Canadian sketch comedy troupe based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, consisting of Mark Little, Andrew Bush, Kyle Dooley, Cheryl Hann, Brian MacQuarrie, Evany Rosen, Scott Vrooman and Bill Wood. Formed in 2006, the group were most noted for their viral video "Powerthirst", which garnered far more views than their 13-episode sketch comedy television series which aired on The Comedy Network in 2011.[3]
Background
The group has performed in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, and other Canadian cities. They have had a special on CBC Radio and had a weekly sketch and improv comedy show in Halifax.[4]
In 2011, Picnicface were featured in a film called Roller Town,[5] and a satirical book about Canada for HarperCollins Canada called Picnicface's Canada.
Television series
Thirteen episodes were ordered by The Comedy Network.[2] Picnicface aired on Wednesday nights at 10:30 pm Eastern/9:30 pm Central. The series was executive-produced by Mark McKinney from The Kids in the Hall.[6]
The series won three Canadian Comedy Awards at the 13th Canadian Comedy Awards in 2012, for Best TV Series, Best Ensemble and Best Writing in a TV Series.[7]
In late April 2012, Bell Media, the network's owner, decided not to renew the series for a second season.[8]
