Was haben Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Mike Myers, Catherine O'Hara und Gida Radner gemeinsam? Sie sind nicht nur alle große Komiker, sie haben auch im Second City Club in der Old Fire Hall auf der Lombard Street angefangen. Der Klub ist dann dorthin gezogen, wo die Action ist, in Blue Jay Ways oberhalb des SkyDome, aber der schnelle Witz und die schneidende Satire sind dieselbe geblieben. Second City hat jetzt eine 350-sitzige Hauptbühne, ein 100-sitziges experimentelles Theater und ein Restaurant mit 400 Sitzen. Es gibt auch immer noch freie Improvisationen nach den regulären Auftritten; freies Mitternachts-Geheul an Freitagen.

Tickets von CAD 10 - CAD 16. Samstag Nacht bietet die Best of Second City Revue(CAD 11).

One of the best-known places in Toronto for its quality entertainment, the Comedy Bar certainly lives up to its name. Hilarious stand-up comedy acts by artists like Pat Thornton, Tim Meadows, Todd Barry and many others have left people rolling in laughter. Several competitions like the Toronto Sketchfest Show are also held here. The Sunday Night Live shows are undoubtedly the most popular ones, leaving guests charged for the coming week. The bar serves a selection of starters, pizzas and sandwiches. Drinks are affordable.

A chain of comedy clubs, Absolute Comedy also has a branch in Toronto, which is located at Younge Street towards the north of downtown. Featuring two of the most amazing stand-up comedians, Bobby Mair and Nick Reynoldson, the club hosts various shows on a routine basis.
