The backwoods, beer-loving Canadians are set to come together again as the McKenzie Brothers, and it’s all for a good cause!

McKenzie Brothers
Toronto Star

 

Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas are set to open a comedy benefit in Toronto this July, along with a slew of other members of the SCTV cast: Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dan Aykroyd, and some of the Kids in the Hall are all on deck.

This will be the first time the McKenzie Brothers have been revived in a decade, with Bob and Doug set to open the show with a live version of their talk show Great White North.

The benefit is being held to help Thomas’ nephew, who was partially paralyzed following a January 2017 snowmobile accident. All proceeds from the event will go to Jake Thomas’s Road to Recovery and Spinal Cord Injury Ontario.

Tickets to the event start at $250 dollars, with a VIP option going for $2,500 (which includes a ‘party with the stars’ after the event).
