“Oozes with delicious frivolity…This show belongs on bigger stages with bigger audiences.”
This hilarious and all-too-relatable musical theatre song-cycle dares ask the question: WT*A*F is wrong with humanity??
People Suck’s premiere in the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2015 was a sold-out hit, winning Best of Fringe, Patron’s Pick, and the Ed Mirvish Award. After two acclaimed productions in Melbourne, Australia, People Suck is coming home to Toronto by popular demand!
By Peter Cavell (The Second City) and Megan Phillips (The Anxiety Show), directed by Jessica Sherman (Dear Evan Hansen), with cast from Come From Away, Evil Dead, and Avenue Q.
People Suck: you’ll wish for your optimism back!

“Gutsy, entertaining, and meaningful”
Hear People Suck!
By which we mean that you can listen to some of the songs from the show “People Suck”, not that you can hear people sucking on things. That’s an entirely different website.
