The Gentlemen Hecklers Present: The Room

The Gentlemen Hecklers Present: The Room

9:30pm - Wednesday, Apr 1, 2020

"Oh, hai Mark!"

Vancouver's masters of movie-riffing, The Gentlemen Hecklers, are taking on their biggest challenge yet: Tommy Wiseau's epic, pop-culture masterpiece, THE ROOM. This legendary stinker is easily the Rio Theatre audiences' all-time, hands-down forever favourite "so bad, it's good" movie, our collective guiltiest cinematic pleasure, the bestest "best-worst" film of all time - and easily the Hecklers' most requested title.

What a story! A marvel of modern cinema, Tommy Wiseau's THE ROOM is so powerful that it will, literally, "tear you apart." (Or, maybe just your brain. And occasionally your eyeballs.) In the pantheon of you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it, best-worst movies, it's quite possible that nothing tops THE ROOM. It's the CITIZEN KANE of bad movies! And truly, truly, the best (trust!) way to experience this "masterpiece" is in the dark, on the big screen, and with a packed audience of confused (and enthused!) lovers of director Wiseau's bizarre cinematic oddity that has morphed into a pop-culture phenomenon.

The Gentlemen Hecklers (aka comedians Harris Anderson, Eric Fell, Patrick Maliha and K.C. Novak) provide live, hilarious commentary for the best bad, cheesy, or so bad-they're-good in a cheesy-kinda-way films! Vancouver's masters of movie riffing make your favourite "guilty pleasure" movies even better... By talking you through them!
