#FringeIsFunny is kicking off with a PWYC (suggested $20) preview show at Comedy Bar on July 4th at 8:00pm.

Get a sneak peak and find out what you want to watch at this Years Toronto Fringe Festival to scratch your funny bone.

Grassroots #FringeIsFunny movement aims to highlight all of the excellent comedy offerings at this year's Toronto Fringe Festival with over 20 exciting new comedies running from July 6-17 at various stages across the city.

"The Toronto Fringe is an excellent opportunity to see comedy from the city's most exciting artists,” says Catherine Hernandez, author and screenwriter of Scarborough (shortlist finalist for the 2017 Toronto Book Awards and 2018 Edmund White Award; winner of 8 Canadian Screen Awards). “Without the pressures from the mainstream these performers are unfiltered and willing to take risks you won't see elsewhere. This is your chance to say 'I was in the audience when [INSERT NOW FAMOUS ARTIST] performed at [HUMBLE FRINGE LOCATION]!”

There is comedy for everybody: clown, physical, sketch, musical, stand-up, storytelling, and the list goes on. This year’s artists include Fringe favourites and veterans Sex T-Rex and Anesti Danelis, buzzworthy shows with previously sold-out runs such as Nam Nguyen’s A Perfect Bowl of Pho, Aliya Kanani’s Where Are You From?, the family comedy BOY vs. FLY, Juno Nominated producer Patricia Silver’s Blast From The Past, and exciting solo debuts from the Tita Collective’s Alia Ceniza Rasul, Chelsea Larkin, and 2-MAN NO-SHOW’s Isaac Kessler.

The Toronto Fringe is a great place to discover fresh faces, but also houses some of Canada’s top comics who have appeared at Second City, Just For Laughs, and more.
