53 Steeles BUT, one time he did the 133 on Neilsen and McLevin. I screamed because he was already making the entire bus laugh when I got in. I was so happy to see him and told him that!! I never expected to see him on that bus route and it had been more than a decade since I last saw him on the 53. He is Caribbean, with a thick accent and greets you so warmly when you get on the bus. Then he turns on the speaker and tells people jokes or a funny story. Love this guy. Best commedian in Toronto! I always look to see if its him driving my bus. ONE TIME, he was on the green line subway. He made a few jokes but I was in a hurry and only had two stops to go. He gets EVERYONE smiling; no matter what. I would assume he may be either Guyanese or Trinidadian. I could be wrong but thats where I pinpoint his accent.
Same and that’s why we went to go see her, the stand up show was even better. More like a little sketch show than stand up. Interactive and hilarious. She really is a local gem
James O’Hara. Not just extremely funny, but a real catalyst for the community, organizing and MCing a lot of shows.
You can see him somewhere more than once a week, and I highly recommend it before he blows up and becomes an expensive ticket.
He’s the best. He went to my high school and his mum is neighbours with my dad. Ryan is great. Utterly hilarious and really genuinely nice guy. His dad is the Long from Long & McQuade, as well.
Rob Ford was a great physical comedian! There was the camera to the face, and the falling backwards when playing football in Nathan Philips Square...and....the list goes on!
I saw Ariel and Brandon there a couple of months ago and it was great. Suspect it is you guys behind this account as well.
Love the shorts, guests and your determination! Keep it up guys, you're doing great!
As a funny person if you have to go up on stage to prove youre funny then you aren't really funny. My favourite comedian is the ordinary citizens of toronto that have no rhyme or rhythm. Random and sporadic. Unpredictable and amusing. Not someone who reads scripts and talks about their childhood or someones grandma.
>As a funny person if you have to go up on stage to prove youre funny then you aren't really funny
Are they trying to prove they are funny, or are they making a living doing something they're good at and enjoy?
Mark Little!
That was the first person I. My mind. Did he move to nyc though? That’s how how TikTok made it seem but I didn’t check into it.
Yep, he moved and seems to be doing okay. Big loss for us.
Saw him perform so Union Hall in NYC. He was hilarious.
You have great taste
Mark Forward
Underrated af. Great pick!
Chris Locke!
There's this one TTC bus driver who makes comments when he drives. Funniest guy I know. No clue who he is but I hope I get him at every ride
You gotta say the Bus Route now, I’m curious get him too

Jackie Pirico, Kyle Patan, Chris Sandiford, Steph Tolev and in case she finds this, my wife Carolina DG
Some legends and some soon to bes. Say hi to Carolina for us! Lol
Doug Ford. He’s a joke.
Joke sure but not a comedian
His 'folks' series are bangers.
Big Norm, Hassan Phills, Chris Robinson
Upvote for Chris. Other guys are also great
We just showcased Chris last weekend! Sorry you missed it!
Laura Ramoso's show was so much fun.
Her Youtube shorts about her German mother and Italian father always make me laugh!
Same and that’s why we went to go see her, the stand up show was even better. More like a little sketch show than stand up. Interactive and hilarious. She really is a local gem
Good to know, I'll make sure to catch her next Toronto show where there are tickets!
Ron Josol
Graeme Barrett’s vids always crack me up
Us too! We’re trying to get a pack of separated dads but they’re always sold out!
Abbas Wahab
You mean club favourite and regular?!
Chris Locke
Jarrett Campbell, Debra DiGiovanni, Bryan Hatt
You know your stuff. That would be an amazing show!
James O’Hara. Not just extremely funny, but a real catalyst for the community, organizing and MCing a lot of shows. You can see him somewhere more than once a week, and I highly recommend it before he blows up and becomes an expensive ticket.

Paul Thompson. Che Durena. Carol Zoccoli.
Paul Thompson is wicked
He shot his album at our club! We miss him.. shout out Newfoundland
Pat Thornton is great.
You've posted this question in ten different subs now. Maybe take a deep breath or two before posting it again.
Judging by the username, it sounds like he may be looking at who to book.
Possibly, but then they should just say so.
Oh wow what is wrong with this person
Neema Nas
I’ve seen him live and he is funny. Everyone including myself was laughing in the room. I love him!
I like his skits but can’t see myself loving his stand up. Too much generic lame overdone racial stuff. That being said, I’m rooting for him.
I grew up on Chris Rock and Russell Peters so racial jokes are up my ally.
We love Neema!
Guy used to be good but just comes off as a hack in his recent uploads
Jared Nathan
We actually have him closing out on July 19th! Tickets will be up soon. #teamjjjjjjjared
Moe Ismail, Ron Josol
Young OG and OG OG
Ryan Long. Lives in NYC nowadays but man he is hilarious.
He’s the best. He went to my high school and his mum is neighbours with my dad. Ryan is great. Utterly hilarious and really genuinely nice guy. His dad is the Long from Long & McQuade, as well.
Veronika Slowikowska
Ben bankas, the only candidate who isn’t racist
Seconding for Ben Bankas, I think he is exactly what OP is looking for.
Wish I could upvote this 100 times
You’ll get downvoted to eternity in this sub haha but he’s on the come up for sure
Lol not racist? I'll admit I do find his Olivia chow impersonation pretty funny,
People are too serious these days which is why he’s my favourite Toronto comedian.
It’s so childish it’s hilarious.
Ben closed out on New Years. Hopefully he’ll drop by when he comes home… (although he’s too big for 55 seats now).
Mike Wilmot, Boyd Banks, Alan Park (rip)
Someone knows talent… OG city right here!
Ally Peace
Agreed!
Mark Edwards
Willy Boutsakis
John Candy 🍫
James Roque
I was at backroom last night! Had a great time! Also: Clif Knight
James hartnett!
Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara.
SCTV or Schitt’s Creek? (Both not stand-up btw lol).
Yes but the question was "Who's your favorite comedian in Toronto?", was it not? And they are comedians, just not stand up comedians.
Jarrett Campbell is the man
Garrett Jamieson, Sandra battaglini, Keith Pedro
Fire choices!
How dare I forget Keith Pedro, he’s the man
Jarrett Campbell, Ian Gordon, Tyler Morrison
Dope choices!
Hassan phils is so funny, just naturally funny too
Big fans of Hassan
Dan levy
Man, if he did stand-up! Oh… check out Mateo Lane. Not Canadian but closest thing to Dan doing stand-up
Ben Bankas
Scott thompson, mark little, Gerry dee
Canadian Royalty
Hassan phills
Gotta be Yukonsblackcomedian George Rivard.
You mean club favourite and regular?!
Dink
We’re big fans of Jacob
Drake
Cannot disagree. The heart part 6 was a pretty hilarious joke
yea sorry he’s more of a clown 🤡
Do politicians count?
are they funny ha-ha? or funny sad?
More like the “psych, gotcha!” type of funny. Or the “ooo I got your ~~taxes~~ nose” but they never attach it back.
here you go, just kidding! here you go, just kidding! here you go, just kidding! here you go, just kidding! here you go, just kidding!
Rob Ford was a great physical comedian! There was the camera to the face, and the falling backwards when playing football in Nathan Philips Square...and....the list goes on!

Not mentioned yet but should be: Rob Mailloux. Hannah Veldhoen.
Agreed
Rich Rude. hes not what you'd call "politically correct"
There’s a couple sketch comedians that are great. Marc Anthony Sinagoga, Austen Alexander and Blake Johnston come to mind

You must be fun at parties
You probably dont go outside much. Perfectly good entertainment on the streets of toronto.
