Was amazing! Rick is so funny , such a talented man. And the accompanying comedians were also really good. Fantastic evening.
Great show, really enjoyed Ivan, Rick and replacement Jordan Welwood. Originally advertised were 4 comedians, however 2 didn’t show up and the replacement Jordan (who was amazing) was a local replacement and I’ve seen him before, he repeated most of the jokes I’ve already heard from him (again he was good), but for the price I paid I expected what I paid for.
Sorry to say 2 comedians missing the night I attended but the crowd was not that disappointed-just wish we got to see the whole act-early stages of tour-maybe Covid or other issues needed to be ironed out
Only draw back was not all comedians preformed. Only 2 comedians. I really enjoyed the show
This was the best cpmedy show that i have been to for a ling time. Even though half the acts didnt make it, the show was super awsome and so very funny.
We were expecting to see comedians in the plural. There was only Rick Mercer and one headliner act. That was it. Rick explained about two other cancellations. So to waste time, Rick brought the other guy on stage and basically just talked. It was not what we had been looking forward to or what we paid for. I understand that the show must go on, but rescheduling when ALL acts could attend would have been appreciated.
Had been an admirer of Rick for a long time, but no longer. If I had known the show was sponsored in part by the CBC I would not have gone. Waaaay too much political bashing of certain politicians while giving a vortual pass to our prime minister. Liberal bias was in full force due to the CBC sponsorship. As for the performers, Eman el-Husseini was not funny - she was clearly mis-cast, a complete failure. The other 2 guys were original and funny. Overall - a ho-hum event at best.
Great show, with a terrific lineup of comedians. Rick was at his finest, especially considering the country is so polarized and he’s a political comedian. He pulled it off. The other comedians were hilarious.
This event brought Torontonians together. It felt so good to be in a crowd of people again- lounging in the hall, lining up for drinks, the washroom, finding the right aisle and sitting down in our seats- all in anticipation of this event. Rick Mercer is as funny as ever. I laughed till my sides hurt. So grateful.
We were so excited to see Rick live and he exceeded our expectations! All the comics were top notch. We enjoyed every minute. Bring a tissue, you will be crying with laughter!
By the end of the show, my cheeks and ribs were aching from laughing so hard. What a great selection of talented, funny people
What a wonderful show...really worth it. We went in a group of 8 and all of us were in tears laughing so hard. Rick Mercer was extremely witty, as usual and hasn't lost his touch. The other two comedians before interval were great, but Ivan Decker...WOW what a great comedian...he is going places! Very much recommended for a enjoyable evening that is worth what you paid. Unlike the John Cleese show we saw a few days before that at the Roy Thompson hall...what a complete bust and waste of money.
Laughed so hard, my belly hurt. It was edgy, political, and hysterical.
Fantastic show. Funny, smart comedy. Four great performances.
I expected the Just for Laughs Toronto event to be fun, but I hadn’t realized just how much I needed that event. We’ve all been effected by the pandemic, and this was my first official night out in literally years! Rick Mercer was an excellent emcee, bringing his particular Canadian slant to our collective situation. While I wasn’t acquainted with any of the three featured performers, each connected with the audience and really made us laugh. This was just what I needed, and if you can find a local performance, GO!
the whole venue was great; from checking in to finding seats. The show was awesome; I had a great laugh the whole way thru. thank you Rick Mercer and company for putting on a great show .
Liked Rick Mercer the most. Great Canadian talent.
Love each of the comics. Rick Mercer was a great MC. I would definitely go again.
Rick kinda tired Liberal hack. Third comedian was fantastic - ten out if ten!
The comedians and Rick Mercer were excellent. Why did it start 30 minutes late? Why didn’t the venue open the upstairs bar or have more servers? Hundreds of people stood in line for a drink at intermission. Not all were able to be served.
