VT Insider Tip
The multi-show pass is the way to go — pick your headliner and fill in with discovery shows. The smaller venue shows often have the biggest surprises.
About
Just For Laughs Toronto brings international headliners, rising comics, stand-up showcases and late-night comedy to venues across the city. The festival began in Toronto as JFL42 in 2012 and now uses the Just For Laughs Toronto name.
What to Expect
Ten days of ticketed comedy across multiple Toronto venues, from major theatre headliners to discovery showcases and club shows.
Pro Tips
Book major headliners early and check the official schedule before planning a multi-show night, since venues and start times vary.
Getting There
Shows take place at multiple Toronto venues. Check each ticket for its venue and use the TTC where possible rather than assuming every performance is downtown.
