Comedy Bar - 945 Bloor St. West, TORONTO, ON

Joke Shop is a place for comics workshop and develop their material. Comedians perform in front of a panel of critics, who provide feedback, suggest new tags, etc. A one-of-a-kind learning experience, Joke Shop invites the creative process onto the stage so we can all learn together. This show is a must-see for comedians and fans of stand-up comedy alike!
Conceptualized by Toronto Producer Alice Rose, the aim of Joke Shop is to create a safe and inclusive creative space for performers to workshop their material, and to engage the audience in a more meaningful, interactive way. The panel consists of veteran comics chosen for their expertise and their engagement with the community at large.
