Just For Laughs Toronto is Back! September 21 to 30!

This year we're bringing you more comedy than ever before with hilarious headliners, special events, and a whole slew of fantastic comedy acts. We also need to mention our TOTALLY FREE Street Festival at Berczy Park, featuring some of your favorite musicians, comedians, and musical comedians!

Buy a pass and take your pick from headliners, Andrew Schulz, Ronny Chieng, An Evening with the Office Ladies, Leslie Jones, Jonathan Van Ness, Marlon Wayans, Nicole Byer, Sam Morril, and Giggly Squad Live!

Once you've purchased a pass, set up your JFLTO account at toronto.hahaha.com to start reserving seats for incredible acts Michelle Wolf, Neal Brennan, Michelle Buteau, Tom Papa, Jim Norton, Joanne McNally, Ron Funches, Patti Harrison, Catherine Cohen.... and more! (& many, many more)

Every pass comes with a number of credits which magically appear as soon as you're activated and ready to go! Use them to reserve seats at the following venues: Elgin Theatre, Royal Theatre, Comedy Bar, Garrison, Rivoli, Yuk Yuk's, Second City, Nothing Fancy, and Absolute Comedy. To keep it simple - One credit = one show reservation.

You can get these credits gifted back to you and reserve more shows with them when you get your barcode scanned at the door during the festival!

    Another great night with JFL42!

    by shelz on 2018-10-02Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre - Toronto

    I initially bought these tickets as a gift for my husband - he likes comedy, I like Hollywood (and Dax Shepard) and this merge was too perfect to pass up! It started out rough for us as getting to the show (downtown on a Saturday night in the midst of Nuit Blache) was a major hassle. When the tickets were first purchased, the show was suppose to take place at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (which to us meant taking the train directly to the CNE, eliminating the drive, traffic, parking, etc) and though we left nearly 2 hours to get there, the move to the Winter Garden Theatre had us arrive mere moments before the show started and therefore not seated as close as we had hoped. But thankfully all views are good from this 'interesting' theatre and the show was fun from start to finish...even the live music at the beginning. Sadly I wasn't familiar with his guest (sorry, Lil Rel) but the stories shared were funny and entertaining and I would definitely go see Dax again!

    1st Time & Loved it!

    by jacyfrometobicoke on 2018-10-02Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    What a great deal - signed up for Headliner + 5 credits; ended up seeing 11 shows!! Reggie Watts was amazing, but the other 10 comedians were great too! Going back next year, for sure!

    by Haha42 on 2018-10-02Venue TBA - Toronto

    I had an amazing week at JFL42! I purchased the 2 credit pass and was satisfied with the reservation process and the range of shows/comedians to see! I saw a total of 12 shows and had a blast!

    Lil Rey brought it

    by sprung on 2018-10-02Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre - Toronto

    Act had me in stitches throughout. Great pacing, funny jokes with minimal swearing. Great story telling ability had us captivated.

    Decent Selection of Acts, Too Many Cancellations

    by Justen on 2018-10-02Venue TBA - Toronto

    Loved seeing Margaret Cho again at JFL42. Usually a decent selection of acts here. Nice that you were able to re-use your pass. Really disappointing to have one of my most anticipated acts cancel weeks prior and then have one of the replacement acts I chose cancel as well just two days prior.

    Dax Sheppard was amazing

    Loved it!

    by waytooclose on 2018-10-02Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    I would definitely recommend this festival. They offered a huge variety of comedic styles in great venues throughout the city. I particularly loved the In Conversation events. The value for passes is fantastic too. I'll be buying a pass next year for sure!

    The opening act was funnier

    by freshgv on 2018-10-01Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    Opening comedian was funnier. Ken needs to stop living off hangover.

    Not very funny

    by Haylersss on 2018-10-01Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    Ken Jeong was barely on for an hour and honestly felt like he was just stalling the whole time. He spoke about the hangover the majority of the time and I only chuckled maybe 4/5 times the whole show. Felt unprepared and lazy.

    Hannibal Buress

    by GaffiganDisappointed on 2018-10-01Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    The only thing I would really say WASN'T amazing about the show was his opening DJ..... Yes, that's right, he opened the show with a DJ that played some very heavy hip/hop style music that didn't seem to appeal to some of the crowd. However, the music wasn't a big deal to me, I enjoy pretty much everything.... BUT, what was really odd was the extremely GORY videos that accompanied this music for over 10 minutes. Multiple images of bloody fight scenes from old Kung Fu movies, broken bones popping out of skin, skulls being crushed, etc.... I could see many people in my immediate area turning away from the screen multiple times. I don't see any relevance to the show, or need for this particular type of "opening act"? Hannibal was hilarious, he always is. His use of projected images on a screen to help tell some of his stories was unique and worked very well for what he was doing. I would absolutely see the show again, just maybe reconsider how the show is opened. P.S. The heavy music definitely showcased the sound system in the Sony Centre.... it is AMAZING.... you could FEEL the bass in your ribs and it felt like the system was not even working yet. I can only imagine what it COULD be like if they turned it up. :-D

    Bridget Everett is a force to be reckoned with, and an absolute delight. My only complaint is that the show wasn’t long enough.
