2Film Vault Friday: Three Dead Trolls
My conversation on CBC Radio tomorrow is about (spoiler alert) comedy on television, and how frequently great shows are short-lived. In honor of that, here’s one of my all-time favorite examples: Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, circa 1992.

Thanks for posting this. I look forward to your film vault posts. Three Dead Trolls teamed up with Atomic Improv in the mid 90’s to do the best and funniest Winnipeg Fringe Festival show I’ve ever seen – The War of 1812. Brilliant.
I saw that one, Dan! MTC Warehouse, I believe? Stellar.
