The Audition

If you've ever wondered what really goes on behind the casting table, Bad Dog Theatre Company's 'The Audition' pulls back the curtain with hilarious, unpredictable results. Created by Bita Joudaki and Nicole Passmore, this entirely improvised show hits Comedy Bar Bloor every Friday night in September.

Watch as performers navigate the nightmarish gauntlet of cold reads, brutal callbacks, confusing directional notes, and surreal twists. Because it's completely improvised, no two shows are ever alike, capturing the raw desperation and comedy of actors trying to book the job.

Located on Bloor Street West near Dufferin, Comedy Bar is a cornerstone of Toronto's alternative comedy scene. Grab a local craft beer at the bar, settle in for a night of sharp wit, and explore the Koreatown neighbourhood's late-night food scene after the show.
