My Take

Dave Foley is comedy royalty to anyone who grew up on The Kids in the Hall. Co-founding that troupe, he helped define a sketch sensibility that was smarter and stranger than most of what surrounded it, and Brain Candy still feels ahead of its time to me. Then there's the pivot I love: voicing Flik in A Bug's Life, which introduced him to kids who'd never seen a sketch show. Born in Etobicoke in 1963, he embodies a particular Canadian comedy lineage, dry, generous, faintly absurd, that I keep finding traces of in performers working today.
