September is the time to head back to school and for some of us, it was always the most exciting time of the year. The leaves changing, the air getting crisp and fresh, and reuniting with friends we didn’t get to see all summer. Well this year the fall season also kicks off with So. Many. Great. Comedy. Shows! Here are TOsketchfest’s Picks for Live Comedy in Toronto this September!
HOT SOUP PRESENTS: THE AFTER PARTY
