TORONTO – CBC institution Royal Canadian Air Farce is about to seriously revitalize itself by becoming Air Farce Live beginning on its season-opener, Friday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m.
For 14 seasons, Air Farce has been providing its take on the week’s events in Canada in front of an audience, but it was taped. Now, the show is returning with an expanded cast of seven and a new unpredictable, fresh take on the week’s events.
Joining the Air Farce Live cast is Penelope Corrin, who made her debut on the show last season while Jessica Holmes was on maternity leave. She joins Luba Goy, Alan Park, Craig Lauzon, Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson and Holmes – and from time to time, the show will also feature guest stars.
“We’ve always taped in front of a live studio audience, but we always had time to fix our mistakes afterwards,” said Roger Abbott, also one of the show’s producers, in a press release. “But this season, we turn 15 – and like any teenager, we’re anxious to toss away the safety net. So now, instead of taping, we’re going live.”
