Toronto comedy show ‘High On Hallmark (or Comedians Getting High and Watching Hallmark Movies)’ coming to Comedy Bar
TORONTO, ON, November 2, 2021 – Toronto-based comedians Rachel Manson and MK Morris are pleased to present High On Hallmark (Or Comedians Getting High and Watching Hallmark Movies) this holiday season at Comedy Bar on November 10, and December 8, 2021. High On Hallmark, sponsored by Blunt and Cherry, is a hilarious comedy commentary show that sends up the made-for-TV holiday movies that everyone loves to hate.
Each month at High on Hallmark Rachel Manson and MK Morris watch a Hallmark movie with the audience and special guests. On November 10, High on Hallmark will feature A Christmas Love Story, starring Kristin Chenoweth, with special guest comedian Tom Hearn. On December 8, High on Hallmark will feature The Santa Incident, Hallmark’s brief stint into sci-fi, with special guest comedian Kris Siddiqi.
High On Hallmark began as a live streamed web series where comedians Rachel Manson and MK Morris would invite their favourite Canadian comedians to join them on their couch, get high, and watch infamous Hallmark movies. After a popular run online, they are stoked that their little weird stoner obsession has become a sold out monthly live show at Comedy Bar.
