- Josh Thomas, November 23rd
Just For Laughs is thrilled to announce that comedian, author and actor Josh Thomas is coming to Toronto with his new show: Let’s Tidy Up. The award-winning Australian stand-up comedian will be at the Royal Theatre on November 23 at 7:00 PM.
This is a show where Josh tidies up. Tidying up is not normally the stuff of gripping drama, it
wouldn’t be a propulsive narrative for most people but for Josh it’s Everest, a fundamentally
impossible task, like trying to defy the moon and control the tides.
Josh’s brain has managed to make him the author and star of hit TV shows (Please Like Me,
Everything’s Gonna Be Okay), in this show, written with award winning playwright, Lally Katz, he
tries to work out how to do the small stuff.A second show has been added for 9:30pm! Tickets go on sale August 18th at 10am

The first-of-its-kind live reality show redefining what it means to be “raw.” The “Horniest Show in Town” starts with a simple premise: two singles are casted to go on blindfolded first dates but what follows is a unique brand of drama, satire, comedy, twists, turns, and unlimited fun. It’s the realest, most honest voice in entertainment right now.
Hosted by comedian, Brandon Berman, the 90-minute show touches on different topics during every episode. Not a show where you sit back & watch from afar, producer & cohost Harrison Forman makes sure you join in on the action from the audience through interactive moments, and most importantly, an epic assortment of scandalous prizes! Oh, and the UpDating family is epic, a scene unlike any other tour out there with after parties where you may even get lucky 😉

- Kevin Herrera, November 4th

- Pat McGann, January 13th
Proving that comedy ain’t just a young man’s game, Chicago native Pat McGann only started honing his stand-up chops at the age of 31, becoming a sought-after Emcee at the Windy City’s Zanies comedy club. An opening slot for Sebastian Maniscalo soon followed, bringing McGann’s sharp and hilarious wit to a wider audience along with stints on Letterman, Colbert and more.
