Plenty of laughs to be had this in the great city of Toronto — and not all at the expense of everyone’s “favorite” (subjective, really) mayor. While there’s always a batch of hilarious improv brewing up at the Comedy Bar, this week also launches Toronto’s Sketch Comedy Festivalbeginning on March 6 with over 40 troupes ready and willing to tickle your funny bones along with guest stars including the creators and stars of Slings and Arrows and Gavin Crawford of Comedy Network’s Gavin Crawford Show. All at a price that won’t break the bank. Now go forth and laugh! Laugh until your sides split!
