Weird Al Karaoke Greatest Hits

Weird Al Karaoke is a monthly musical comedy show that has been performed in Edmonton since 2015, when the idea was unceremoniously stolen from Glenn Macauley of Toronto. Every month, local comedians perform ORIGINAL comedy parodies of songs you know and love. Over the last 9 years, our performers have written over 500 original parodies! That’s a lot of parodies, folks.
