A brand new monthly sketch comedy series, kicking off June 21st!
If you’ve ever wished TOsketchfest happened more than once a year, you’re not alone. We heard you. We agreed with you. And we did something about it.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Sketchfest Comedy Cabaret, a brand new monthly live show series celebrating Toronto’s vibrant sketch comedy scene. Each cabaret features a handpicked lineup of hilarious, risk-taking, genre-bending sketch troupes performing bite-sized 10-minute sets.
And the best part? We’ve found the perfect home for it: the intimate and atmospheric VideoCabaret’s Deanne Taylor Theatre in Leslieville. This gorgeous black box theatre will be our sketch comedy clubhouse for the rest of 2025, and we can’t wait to fill it with laughter, weirdness, and brilliant performances Every. Single. Month.

For this debut edition, the theatre will be set in the round, which means you’ll be right in the middle of the action, surrounded by sketch comedy on all sides. It’s a unique way to experience live comedy, and the perfect way to kick off this brand new chapter of Sketchfest fun.
Come be part of the very first night. We’d love to see you there.
