Comedy is Art Festival

Year seven of Comedy is Art has arrived! Three nights of can’t-miss comedy with over 40 comics from across Toronto and beyond.

This year Comedy is Art doubles down on its curatorial mission to present excellent shows that punch unapologetically up, through poignant and witty observations about the world, and a commitment to making you laugh. The festival’s show program is curated by comedian, writer, and storyteller liza paul, with programming support from Tim Blair (TallBoyz) and Ellie Posadas (Tita Collective).
Headlined by legendary Canadian comic Debra DiGiovanni, this year’s festival features a wealth of Canada’s best artists working in stand-up, sketch, and improv. Shows include Sketchy Business, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop (Laughing), Improv (and a lil sketch) Magic, A Night with Debra DiGiovanni, and Bright Lights, a special evening to raise funds for The Theatre Centre hosted by Hisham Kelati with a stellar lineup of stand-up comedians!
