Corky and the Juice Pigs was a CANADIAN muscial comedy trio made up of:
Phil Nichol Greg Neale Sean Cullen
It seems official that the group has broken up, and each member is pursuing solo efforts. You may never see Corky and the Juice Pigs perform again other than in reruns of MadTV, Just for Laughs, and Laughing Matters. If you've ever been fortunate enough to see them on TV or live on stage, Phil was the one with the guitar and goofy smile, Greg was the tall guy flailing about wildly, and Sean was the one doing most of the singing and impressions.
The group was around for over 11 years, with the final performances coming in the late 1990s. I saw them for the first time on their 10th anniversary show at The Rivoli (Downtown Toronto, Queen and Spadina) on December 29, 1997, and spent most of the night howling with laughter - that is, except for the occasional part where I was just stunned and confused. Because so much of their act is obviously improvised, sometimes it gets pretty strange, but they manage to bring you back in with a new laugh right away.
I have told the band in person about this website and they thanked me for the effort, and I have also emailed with the management and received their implicit approval. But that doesn't mean it is an official site - in fact, to my knowledge there is no official site. I don't make any kind of money or anything from this stuff...I'm just a fan who wants to spread the word about this very cool group.
