TallBoyz is a Canadian television sketch comedy troupe best known for their 2019-2022 CBC Television sketch comedy series.[1] The troupe members are Guled Abdi, Vance Banzo, Tim Blair and Franco Nguyen, who have worked for several years in stage-based sketch comedy under the name TallBoyz II Men.[2]
They were best known for their stage show A 6ix NNNNNN Revue,[3] which won the award for Best Comedy at the 2018 Toronto Fringe Festival.[4] The title of A 6ix NNNNNN Revue was an allusion to the Toronto alternative weekly newspaper Now, whose music, film, literature and theatre critics rate works on a scale of one to five N's instead of stars.[3]
The group's television series is produced by Bruce McCulloch and Susan Cavan,[2] and was developed after McCulloch saw the troupe perform at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival in 2018.[5]
In March 2022, the series began airing in the U.S on Fuse.[6]
Tallboyz is the winner of four Canadian Screen Awards (CSAs) including Best Sketch Comedy Program or Series.
