In March 2004, The Imponderables - Dave, Eric, Jon, and Tony - made comedy folklore by becoming the first independent comedy troupe in Second City's 30 year history to be given a regular spot to perform on the prestigious mainstage. As a result The Imponderables were winners of the 2005 Canadian Comedy Award for Best Sketch Troupe.
Flare Magazine has called them “The hottest Canadian comedy troupe since Kids in the Hall�? and the CBC has referred to them as “The best troupe show to hit Toronto’s comedy stage in years.�?
Since their inception in 2001, The Imponderables have been on three successful national tours. They won Pick of the Fringe, Edmonton 2002, Pick of the Fringe, Toronto 2003, and the Just for Laughs Best Comedy Award at the 2004 Montreal Fringe.
Other notable shows include the New Years Eve Comedy Extravaganza at Massey Hall, Talk of the Fest at Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival the legendary Horseshoe Tavern (opening up for the Rheostatics),The Chicago Improv Festival, two episodes of the Toronto Show, and as headliners for the 1st Annual Toronto Sketch Festival. Most recently, The Imponderables appeared on the Sketch with Kevin McDonald show on the CBC.
"The Imponderables have won frequent comparisons to the Kids in the Hall, mainly because they are young, charismatic, and often absurd...while the comparison is flattering, it's a little off. The Imponderables are more like SCTV and Monty Python. Like SCTV, their humour springs from the broad, perfectly honed characters and, like Monty Python; their comedy has an obtuse point of view punctuated by manic physicality." Andrew Clark, the Toronto Star.
The Imponderables are the resident sketch troupe for the popular Sketch Comedy Lounge at the Rivoli in Toronto where they can be seen perfoming the first Tuesday of every month.
