An award-winning comedy duo will make their way to a Coquitlam stage next week to pay tribute to the horror genre.
Peter Carlone and Chris Wilson will appear at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on April 20 in the Mystery of the Hungry Heart Motel.
In it, their characters check into their spooky accommodations but are so distressed about the single bed that they miss the murders happening around them.
The culprit? Well, it'll be pretty obvious, the pair say.
The show will be a treat for comedy and horror fans as it will include moments from classic flicks like The Shining and Psycho and television programs such as The Hardy Boys and Scooby Doo.
Both BFA graduates from the University of Victoria, Carlone and Wilson are well known for their comedic act called Peter N' Chris — whose website tagline reads: "You're going to like the way you laugh. I guarantee it."
Currently, the pair is on tour in B.C. and Alberta with Hungry Heart Motel and with The Kind of OK Corral. Previously, they performed at Just for Laughs, JFL42, the San Francisco Sketch Comedy Festival and in Chicago as well as numerous fringe festivals.
In 2014, their video, The Kiss, about two men taking their friendship "to the next level," was published on Funny Or Die.
Besides Peter N' Chris, Carlone has won two Jessie Awards for his theatrical work (The Foreigner and Hunter Gatherers) and is a writer for CBC Radio's The Irrelevant Show. Carlone is also the artistic director of the Vancouver Sketch Comedy Festival.
Wilson, a Toronto resident, works with Bad Dog Theatre Company and performs with the sketch troupe Get Some. He plays a young Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall) on the SuperChannel show What Would Sal Do? and also writes for The Irrelevant Show.
