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.
Friday Stand-Up
Yuk Yuk's Comedy
Yuk Yuk's, 224 Richmond Street West, 7:30pm & 10:30pm
A host and several opening acts support a headliner who changes weekly. ($19, reservations preferred)
Absolute Comedy
Absolute Comedy Club, 2335 Yonge Street, 9pm
A host presents several stand-up professionals and a headliner. ($12, Reservations required)
Friday 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. ($28, followed by a free improv show)
Friday Improv
That Friday Show
Bad Dog Theatre, 138 Danforth Avenue, 8:30pm
Students in Bad Dog's upper-level improv classes take to the stage for games, scenes and a long-form segment. (Pay What You Can as you exit)
Comedy on the Danforth
Timothy's Worldnews Cafe, 320 Danforth Avenue, 9pm (Sept-June)
Two experienced improv teams take alternate weeks as they provide family-friendly comedy in a coffee shop. (Pay What You Can)
Macro Neato
Bad Dog Theatre, 138 Danforth Avenue, 10pm
This show is a mixed bag of both styles and performers. Improv games and long-form are created by Bad Dog students, alumni and staple performers. ($10)
