Just like all "regularly scheduled" events, these shows can fall victim to things like holidays, larger venue bookings, or the performers going on tour. Use the links to confirm a show is actually on this week.
Thursday Stand-up
Yuk Yuk's Comedy
Yuk Yuk's, 224 Richmond Street West, 8pm
A host and several opening acts support a headliner who changes weekly. ($12, reservations preferred)
Absolute Comedy
Absolute Comedy Club, 2335 Yonge Street, 8:30pm
A host presents several stand-up professionals and a headliner. ($10, Reservations required)
Thursday Sketch
The Second City Mainstage Revue
The Second City Mainstage, 51 Mercer Street, 8pm
Thematic yet erratic, Second City's show changes every few months but they are generally a collection of sketches tied together around a current event related theme. Expect recurring characters and running gags, but don't expect an actual plot. That would spoil the fun. ($23, followed by a free improv show)
Periodic Thursday Fun
The following aren't on every week, but...
- The first Thursday of the month is the sketch and improv based Death Ray Cabaret at Bad Dog Theatre ($5)
- Then the fourth Thursday of the month is Troubadour at Bad Dog Theatre, where musical improv becomes a competition ($10)
