The concert, Take Off, Eh!, is being presented by The Second City and Thomas. In January, Thomas’ nephew Jake severed his spinal cord in a snowmobiling accident. Proceeds from the concert will go to his recovery and to Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, which provides support to those who have suffered life-altering spinal injuries.
Moranis and Thomas’ characters, Bob and Doug McKenzie, became huge hits on SCTV, making appearances on SNL and later spinning the duo off into the 1993 feature film, Strange Brew.
