    Jon Dore at The Royal

    by El on 10/1/19The Royal - Toronto

    Jon Dore came “on-time” to his last show. He took off his backpack on the stage, and then took out his notebook. The guy seems to have stopped caring about his act.

    Steve O was amazing!

    by JC on 10/1/19Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Toronto

    Went to see Steve O at Queen Elizabeth Theater. The show was so good! He puts on a great performance and even takes picture/signs autographs with everyone who wants one. I did not like how it was General Admission, just a free for all with seating and your pretty much screwed if you come late.

    Naturally Nate

    by Thos on 9/30/19Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Toronto

    As expected, Nate was just as funny live as seen on his Netflix specials. Graham Kay (a good old Canadian boy), who opened for him, was an unexpected treat - though I'm not sure why he wasn't mentioned in any promotions before the show.

    Awesome show!!

    by Jeff on 9/29/19Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Toronto

    Nate Bargatze was hilarious! What a great show! All new material with a finale of ‘iced coffee with milk’. If you get the chance, see him!

    I've seen funnier

    by KyEv on 9/24/19Sony Centre for the Performing Arts (soon to be Meridian Hall) - Toronto

    I was really excited to see JVN perform, but was unsure what to expect since he seems funny, but not necessarily a comedian. I am still glad I went, but I feel like he's still finding his footing and not all of his jokes landed completely. The two other comics that performed with him were entertaining as well, I really liked Naomi but the other woman I was less sure of, her jokes were pretty offensive. Overall I'm glad I went but I preferred other JFL shows I attended for actual laughs.

    Roy Woods Jr is AMAZING

    by Bish Funny on 9/23/19Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Toronto

    In addition to his (can I call you Roy?) great variety of content and great flow, it was impressive that he had brand new material to address newsworthy events that happened that same day and it was hilarious and smooth.

    Know what kind of show you are seeing

    by BDELLC on 10/2/18TIFF Bell Lightbox - Toronto

    I thought I would be seeing a stand up act. Instead I saw a comedian speaking with a moderator about how they go through their comedy process. The show I saw was interesting but not at all what I expected. I don’t remember seeing any description when I bought the tickets on the difference between the stand up shows and the “in conversation with comedian” shows and their normal stand up routines.

    Great experience. Would defiantly do this again. Ken put on a great show as well as all of the other stand ups we attended.

    Awesome venue

    by Applausosaurus on 9/30/18Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre - Toronto

    First time in winter garden theatre - this place was awesome :) super funky and cozy venue. It was too bad Maria Bamford wasn’t feeling her best but she put on a solid show nonetheless. We felt very lucky to have seen such an original and fearless performer on stage.

    Great Laughs!

    by KylaE on 10/12/17Venue TBA - Toronto

    All the artists we saw during JFL 42 were hilarious, and I'm so glad we went! The Queen Elizabeth Theatre venue is the reason for the lower rating, as seats were way too tiny and the snacks were way overpriced for what they were. However, the comedians made up for it and my partner and I enjoyed everyone we saw. We even got to chat with and get a picture with Flula Borg after his show! Will definitely be going again next year.

    JFL42 was great again

    by JFLFan on 10/4/17Venue TBA - Toronto

    Once again, JFL42 offers the best value of any festival in Toronto. The credit system lets you enjoy so much comedy at a good price. The system to send tickets to another person is still a gigantic frustrating pain, but at least the process is idiot proof. No matter what situation you get yourself into, you can get out of it without needing to contact a support person. Jenny Slate, Max Silvestri, and Jen Kirkman were incredible, and each venue was charming in its own way. Great job to everyone involved!

    Desus and Mero do not disappoint. It sucked that they had to go on so late, but they made it very worth it

    Terrible show

    by Stanley6789 on 10/2/17Sony Centre for the Performing Arts - Toronto

    I was very disappointed in the show half the time they were just showing stuff on the projector so the audience had very little time to actually see the performers. This was not worth the money and I will never attend another show by them again. They seem disinterested in performing for the audience

    Laughed so hard i was crying the entire time

    by Amandaizumi on 10/2/17TIFF Bell Lightbox - Toronto

    This was legit the funniest JFL event I’ve ever seen. Of course I’m a fan, so I’m biased, but still. So fun, so great, I hope they do this again next year.

    Opener was great, perfect energy level and jokes to get people excited for the headliner. Jim Gaffigan didn't disappoint - I really enjoyed his "encore."

    Will be returning next year!!

    by MikeBon on 10/4/16Sony Centre for the Performing Arts - Toronto

    Title should explain it all JFL 42 was amazing!! Gaffigan was our headliner and he was awesome! There were so many comedians to choose from, we bought the pass and felt like we didn't take advantage of it even though we saw 10 comedians (including openers) Big Jay took the crown for us, he was a pro working the crowd!! First time at the festival we will definitely be returning and probably with more friends and family

    Anthony always kills

    by lickyourelbow on 10/4/16Sony Centre for the Performing Arts - Toronto

    If you are offended by dead baby jokes... go anyway! He's hilarious.

    Jim Norton was Hilarious

    by VinegarStrokes on 9/27/16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Toronto

    Excellent Show. Little Jimmy was on point and funny as always. Would see again for sure. Chip and Uncle Paulie made a cameo.

    Maria Bamford, bang me!

    by Ollie333 on 9/27/16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Toronto

    Some of her jokes totally bombed and seemed like they were still in the beginning stages of being developed, but about 70% of her set killed this night! Definitely a great show all around.
