SwordPlay is a loving parody of the swashbuckling genre mixed with retro video games, drawing on The Princess Bride, The Three Musketeers, Game of Thrones, Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy, to name a few.
“One of Canada’s best sketch acts.”

“Insanely funny… Meticulously plotted. A virtuoso clinic in comedic choreography. Intricate and utterly hilarious.”
