Harold Kandel (May 30, 1906 – 1994)[1] was a legendary theatregoer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, known for speaking out during theatre events, contrary to the standard social conventions of western adult theatre.
The legend of Harold has grown to be honored by performers across Canada, in the year of his death, theatrical awards in the city of Toronto,[2] and a Fringe theater festival review magazine adopted his name.
He was issued complimentary seats to all shows performed by Mump and Smoot.
He always sits at the front and claps in all the wrong places and yells out Marxist slogans during tender moments and calls the actors by their real names.
Mostly people suffer Harold grudgingly roll their eyes when they see him in a line but when he dies there will be a big award named after him: and everyone will want to win.
