If you're looking for a fun night out in Toronto than one of the best options is certainly one of the many comedy clubs and festivals that operate throughout the city each year. You could organize a night out during a conference for dentists from Mississauga to Vancouver or you could just head to a club for a great date night with that special someone. There are several different types of comedy festivals that come to the area that cater to different people. Here are some of the most popular Toronto comedy festival options.

Just for Laughs is known as one of the largest comedy festivals in North America and brings in talent from all over the world. While the main stage festival is held in Montreal, there is a smaller festival that tours and has a stop in Toronto. This year the festival takes place from July 15-19 and includes shows in both English and French. If you need a night away from your naturopathy Toronto clinic or from studying for summer courses this could be the perfect outing for you.

If you frequently find yourself tuning into Saturday Night Live on the weekend than you may be interested in the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, which takes place in November. Come and escape the cold by viewing sketches by local artists and teams that come from all across the country. This festival is much like Fringe for theatre shows, as there is a huge mix of different sketch styles and venues. You could come out to see just one of the troupes or forget about microdermabrasion treatments and spend the weekend looking younger through laughter. The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival also hosts other events throughout the year, including a 24-hour film challenge in conjunction with Movieola.
