AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE FINAL FAREWELL
MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2019 | 8:00 PM
After an illustrious 46-year run on radio and television, AIR FARCE, one of the most enduring and iconic homegrown comedy troupes in the country, is winding down.
AIR FARCE NEW YEARS EVE will be the troupe’s final show on CBC when it airs on Monday, December 30, 2019 at 8:00 PM (8:30 NT).
AIR FARCE NEW YEAR'S EVE 2019 will skewer the year's biggest news stories, pop culture people, and events. It takes aim at climate change, Brexit, the Royal Family, big tech, and western Canadian alienation. Also coming into the troupe’s comedic gunsights are PM Justin Trudeau, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Toronto's “chair girl” Marcella Zoia.
It will also feature favourite moments from past New Year’s Eve specials and the weekly TV series, and pay tribute to late AIR FARCE founders John Morgan, Roger Abbott, and Dave Broadfoot.
AIR FARCE NEW YEAR'S EVE 2019 stars the troupe’s diverse and intergenerational cast: founding members Don Ferguson and Luba Goy, long-time cast members Jessica Holmes and Craig Lauzon, and the most recent recruits: Darryl Hinds, Isabel Kanaan, and Chris Wilson.
(Please note: tickets are not available for this special farewell episode.)
