Where to see comedy in Toronto

Toronto's comedy runs on three very different operations: Comedy Bar, with stages in Bloor West and on the Danforth putting on well over a hundred shows a month; Yuk Yuk's, the long-running downtown stand-up club; and The Second City, the sketch and improv theatre that launched Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy and Mike Myers.

Comedy Bar Bloor

  • Several stages, so there are often three or four shows on the same night.
  • Snacks and drinks are served. It's a short walk from Ossington station.
  • Late-night shows start around 10 PM on most weekends.
  • Prices on the listings are in Canadian dollars.
