The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival

Celebrating 10 hilarious years

The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival (TOsketchfest) is Canada’s pre-eminent comedy festival focusing on ensemble-based scripted comedy. TOsketchfest is an 11 day feast of over 70 hilarious performances on 5 stages offering by nearly 50 of the best comedy troupes from across North America.

2015 marks our 10th anniversary festival, and it is unequivocally the best TOsketchfest yet! This year’s festival features headliner performances by current Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon, international comedy duo Pajama Men and the return of CBC Radio’s The Irrelevant Show.

2015 also marks a move to The Theatre Centre, our new festival home, and a return to the West Queen West neighbourhood where the festival began in 2005. Grab a pass and join in on the fun.
