The cult comedy classic The Kids in the Hall left the airwaves more than a decade ago, but that doesn't mean that stopped the careers of these five funny Canadians. While the troupe will reunite again headlining the 25th annual Just for Laughs festival this July in Montreal, here's what they have been up to after the show.

In no particular order:

Bruce McCulloch
The Edmonton-born McCulloch took a turn into writing and directing post-KITH. He wrote, directed, and starred in the movie "Dog Park" (1998, released in the US 1999). He also directed the Saturday Night Live-based Molly Shannon vehicle "Superstar" (1999), which included Mark McKinney. In 2000, McCulloch had a one-off part in the CBC comedy TV series "Twitch City". His latest project is the TV series "Carpoolers," a laffer set to debut on America's ABC Television in September. McCulloch is both the developer and a lead writer for the show.

Dave Foley
After KITH, Toronto-born Dave Foley starred on the NBC TV sitcom "NewsRadio" (1995-99) and, an avid poker player, now hosts "Celebrity Poker Showdown" on Bravo. He also has lent his voice to animated films such as Disney's "A Bug's Life" (1998), "Cars" (2006) and the South Park movie (1999). In 1999 he also was in the not-as-successful movies "Dick" and "Blast From the Past". He also has multiple one-off television appearances, as well as a recurring role as Dr. Hedrick the grief counselor on NBC's "Scrubs." In 2007, four movies will feature Foley in a leading role, including "The Strip" and "Postal," the latter derived from the video game.

Scott Thompson
Born in North Bay, Ontario, Scott Thompson was in the American film "Mickey Blue Eyes" (1999), but after KITH he perhaps is more known for playing the gay personal assistant to Hank Kingsley on the critically acclaimed HBO series "The Larry Sanders Show" from 1995 to 1998. More recently Thompson hosted the first series of the Canadian reality show "My Fabulous Gay Wedding" (2005) and was in the critically acclaimed film "Another Gay Movie" (2006). He also ran a website, Scottland, from October 1995 to 2000.
