Ha Ha Ha In Hogtown
Hogtown is about to become hilarious. Just For Laughs, one of the world’s biggest comedy festivals, is coming to Toronto as part of its 25th anniversary celebration.
The city has put up $400,000 to bring about Toronto’s first annual Just for Laughs festival. If you’re thinking that it will be just like the Montreal version of the fest, think again. The organizers recognize that Toronto is a different city and are playing up on our diversity to bring us a truly “distinctive festival event.”
Whatever that means, Toronto will still host six gala shows starring various big-name comedians. There will also be free comedy events at Dundas Square, European street theatre, buskers, urban animation, and more.
If it’s a hit, you can count on it becoming a regular thing. Be sure to check out all the hilarity you can handle from July 26th to 28th.
