Sketch To The Death
Wednesday, February 4, 11, 18, and 25
The stakes are higher, the sketches are sharper, and the blood (still metaphorical) is on the floor. Sketch To The Death charges into February with Round 2 battles on Feb 4 & 11, the Semi-Finals on Feb 18, and the Grand Finale on Feb 25. With 64 troupes whittled down to the best of the best, this month is where it all goes down. Expect louder cheers, tougher decisions, and at least one audience member yelling, “That was the sketch of the year!”

Not a Valentine’s Day Show
Thursday, February 12th
If Cupid makes you cringe, this show’s for you. Not a Valentine’s Day Show is a sketch comedy variety night that has absolutely nothing to do with chocolate hearts, or maybe just enough to make fun of them. Hosted by Arsy and presented by the always-hilarious PlayersTO, this one-night show features a stacked lineup of sketch comedy acts: Nkasi Ogbonnah, Nostalgia Girls, Three Stooopids, and The Understudies. Come laugh, cringe, and remind yourself you’re better off not spending $11.99 on a stuffed bear.

This Will Heal Me
Friday, February 13th & Saturday, February 14th
Canadian Screen Award nominee Rakhee Morzaria (Run the Burbs, Dinner with Friends) premieres her debut solo show this month. This Will Heal Me is 50 minutes of laughs and chaos, as Rakhee will do everything she’s been too afraid to do in front of live audience (vulnerability included) in this debut solo show, so that she can emerge fully healed. Expect a show that tackles themes of identity, culture, beauty and worse.

Tik Tok Boom
Friday, February 27th
What happens when sketch comedy gets the TikTok treatment? You get TIK TOK BOOM, a rapid-fire, no-time-to-breathe comedy sprint where every sketch is two minutes or less. Smart, silly, and high-octane, this revue delivers bite-sized blasts of absurdity, satire, and surprise. And just when you think it’s over, the cast cranks it into chaos with a 40-sketch speed round in 20 minutes or less. Blink and you’ll miss a joke, so don’t blink.
