We’ve played a lot of shows over the past couple of years, and we’re playing more every month. Below are some of our faves!
REVUES
PET3RS: (Directed By: Andrew Currie) The first full-length revue by Approximately 3 Peters – framed under a spoof of “Heroes”, this show was a collection of the best sketches from the first 18 months of the troupe. This was also the first Peters show to play outside of Toronto.
Toronto – January 26, 2007 – The Second City – POSTER
London – March 10, 2007 – The ARTS Project
PET3RS KILL TIME: (Directed By: Andrew Currie) In this, the second full-length revue by Approximately 3 Peters – past, present and future collide as the Peters journey through the fourth dimension leaving twisted timelines in their wake while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance! With sketches inspired by pop culture’s greatest time travelers and the things people love to geek out about whether it be Star Wars, home décor, or the latest Blackberry, the Peters bring their charming wit and satiric bent to how we all just “kill time”.
.Toronto – October 4, 11, 18 & 25, 2007 – The Second City - POSTER
London – February 9, 2008 – The ARTS Project - POSTER

ORILLIA COMEDY FESTIVAL: The Peters played this inaugural festival along with three of our favourite Toronto troupes – the Boiled Wieners, Ms. Chickaburns and The Somethingorothers! A convict loved our bank robbery scene, Bomb; we learned that blasphemy isn’t always fun for an audience and that one tub of beer equals a hangover.

SKETCH COMedy LOUNGE: The Peters have played this long-standing room at the famous Rivoli a number of times. But it also holds a special place in the Peters’ hearts – the very first Peters show was played on this stage in 2005… Pete lied about having a troupe when he booked the slot – hooked up with Peter and Ian – they wrote some material and thus the Approximately 3 Peters were born!
The first Peters show - July 12, 2005
And many more after that…
