'Middle-Aged Boy Band' to perform in Delta

Music parody and comedy show comes to town on Jan. 31

Delta is among the stops for the music parody and comedy show Middle-Aged Boy Band.

The production from The Comedy Department comes to Ladner's Genesis Theatre (5005 45th Ave.) on Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m.

The show features some of Canada’s best improv comedians as the Greatest Boy Band That Never Was. After packed houses in Port Moody, Chilliwack and Langley, the band is getting back together for a much-anticipated five-city reunion tour, called Halfway There.

The guys had the dream of being a famous boy band, but life got in the way — kids, mortgages and hernias — and now they're back, still pursuing their dreams, says David Milchard, co-founder of The Comedy Department.

“They’re here to prove it’s never too late. They’ll make you laugh out loud, that’s guaranteed. But they’ll also dust off some dance moves or bust out on-the-spot love ballads that you won’t be able to get out of your head," he said.

Co-founder Denise Jones said they are excited to introduce the show to new audiences.

"The vibe at shows in 2024 was something we didn’t really plan for. Fans are able to take themselves back to that time of boy band magic. People were dancing in the aisles and singing along. It was so great," she said.

Middle-Aged Boy Band tales a swipe at the iconic boy bands of yesteryear such as *NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, and One Direction. It’s Whose Line is it Anyways meets the Backstreet Boys, Jones said.

Tickets are $39 (plus fees and taxes) at middleagedboyband.com.

Other B.C. shows take place Feb. 7 in Port Moody, Feb. 28 in Abbotsford, March 14 in Port Alberni and March 15 in Courtenay.
