They were best known for their stage show A 6ix NNNNNN Revue,[3] which won the award for Best Comedy at the 2018 Toronto Fringe Festival.[4] The title of A 6ix NNNNNN Revue was an allusion to the Toronto alternative weekly newspaper Now, whose music, film, literature and theatre critics rate works on a scale of one to five N's instead of stars.[3]

Television series

The group's television series is produced by Bruce McCulloch and Susan Cavan,[2] and was developed after McCulloch saw the troupe perform at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival in 2018.[5]

In March 2022, the series began airing in the U.S on Fuse.[6]

Tallboyz is the winner of four Canadian Screen Awards (CSAs) including Best Sketch Comedy Program or Series.
