Kenny vs. Spenny bring their live show to Vancouver Island at long last.
With Special Guest Chris Gaskin.

A Canadian television show starring Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice, who face each other in various competitions. The loser of each episode must perform an act of humiliation, usually selected by the winner. Hotz and Rice created the series, and it is typically shot in their hometown of Toronto, Ontario, based mostly out of the house they shared. The show has aired on CBC, Global and Showcase in Canada, on comedy channels in Germany and the Netherlands, Australia,  South Africa,  Italy,  Portugal, Finland, and Sweden.
The original series concluded with an hour-long Christmas special that aired on December 23, 2010 on Showcase. Rumour has it that a new series is in the works for 2015 or 2016.

The series was nominated for the Canadian Comedy Awards in 2010 and 2011 and for Gemini Awards in 2005, 2006, and 2008 as the best Canadian comedy series, and received a Rose d'Or nomination in Switzerland for "best international comedy series”. The show was named #8 among the top 10 Canadian television shows of the 21st century.

Kenny and Spenny have contrasting personalities, which have an impact on the way each approaches the competitions. Spenny usually follows the rules and his ethics very strictly. He also tries to compete in what he perceives as the intention and spirit of the competition statement. Kenny's approach is typically more unorthodox; he is often willing to use any means necessary, including cheating, to win. Though he does not always break the rules, he is usually willing to bend them. Kenny sometimes admits that he would not win certain competitions without cheating. Spenny will often bear the brunt of Kenny's plans and pranks. Spenny is often paranoid and sometimes this causes him to sabotage his own efforts.

Starting with the fourth season, Kenny and Spenny were both executive producers and received credit separate from five other executive producers. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the TV show South Park, joined the show for the fourth season and were given their own separate credit as executive producers for the ten episodes in which they were involved.
