Paul Snepsts – Executive Director
paul@torontosketchfest.com
Paul Snepsts has been farting around in creative spaces for a looong time. After a life recording and touring in rock and roll in the 90s, he discovered live comedy improvising at Theatre Sports Toronto. That led to this love of sketch comedy, forming award-winning sketch troupes that toured North American festivals before starting one of his own, co-founding TOsketchfest in 2005. On screen, Paul is a Gemini-award winning actor and currently produces and hosts the NCRA Award winning radio show “The Sneptic Tank.” Really tho – he’s just a dorky dad who loves creativity–doing and making some of his own, and creating spaces for other folks to do the same.

Artists
The artists who perform at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival are a dynamic mix of comedic writer-performers, ranging from fresh-faced up-and-comers to seasoned pros. They represent a wide spectrum of styles and perspectives, but all share a passion for smart, original, and fearless comedy. Some are comedy collectives formed in theatre school, some are long-running troupes with cult followings, and others are solo artists creating characters, satire, or multimedia sketches that push the form in new directions.
Festival alumni have gone on to write for television, tour internationally, and appear on shows like Baroness von Sketch Show, TallBoyz, and Run the Burbs. Many are active in their local comedy scenes, performing in clubs, DIY spaces, and online platforms. Whether they’re based in Toronto, from across Canada, or visiting from the U.S., TOsketchfest artists bring bold voices, fresh ideas, and a deep love of making people laugh.
