TORONTO – CBC has served up a new original comedy series shot entirely in the kitchen of Canadian Screen Award and Comedy Award-winner Pat Thornton, that takes place anywhere but his kitchen.
My Kitchen Can Be Anything is a 15-episode fantasy comedy series from the surreal minds of award-winning comedians Eric Toth (Still Standing, Bill and Sons Towing, The Imponderables) and Thornton (Filth City, Sunnyside, Space Janitors). Filmed on location in Toronto, the kitchen morphs into locations like the Grand Canyon, a major league baseball diamond, a rock star’s dressing room, and a spacecraft.
Some of Canada’s top comedians guest star in the series, including: Ben Beauchemin (Kim’s Convenience); Aurora Browne (Baroness von Sketch Show); Ennis Esmer (You Me Her); Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll (Kim’s Convenience); Brandon Hackett (The Beaverton); Nelu Handa (Almost Genius); Stephanie Kaliner (Schitt’s Creek); Peter Keleghan (Murdoch Mysteries); Craig Lauzon (Air Farce); Paloma Nuñez (Workin’ Moms); Kathleen Phillips (Filth City); Ann Pornel (Baroness von Sketch Show); Kirsten Rasmussen (Schitt’s Creek); Miguel Rivas (The Beaverton); and Kevin Vidal (Workin’ Moms).
The series also features the track Salad Days written and performed by Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mac DeMarco, from the album Salad Days, which received the ‘Best New Music’ designation from Pitchfork online magazine and was nominated for the Polaris Music Prize.
My Kitchen Can Be Anything is produced by Don Ferguson Productions in association with CBC. Don Ferguson, Lucy Stewart, Kevin Wallis, Eric Toth and Pat Thornton serve as executive producers.
