About Fringe Is Funny

#FringeIsFunny is a grassroots movement which aims to highlight all of the excellent comedy presented at Toronto Fringe Festival, with over 20 exciting new comedies each year.

Created by Alia Ceniza Rasul and driven by a group of producers including Lowen Morrow, Victoria Laberge, Justine Cargo, Claire Blackwood, Victoria Velenosi to name a few,  #FringeIsFunny puts laughter front and centre, and creates a comedy festival haven to help audiences discover some of the best comedy shows happening each summer.

"The Toronto Fringe is an excellent opportunity to see comedy from the city's most exciting artists,” says Catherine Hernandez, author and screenwriter of Scarborough (shortlist finalist for the 2017 Toronto Book Awards and 2018 Edmund White Award; winner of 8 Canadian Screen Awards). “Without the pressures from the mainstream these performers are unfiltered and willing to take risks you won't see elsewhere. This is your chance to say 'I was in the audience when [INSERT NOW FAMOUS ARTIST] performed at [HUMBLE FRINGE LOCATION]!”

There is comedy for everybody: clown, puppetry, physical, sketch, musical, stand-up, storytelling, and the list goes on.

 The Toronto Fringe is a great place to discover fresh faces at various stages across the city but also houses some of Canada’s top comics who have appeared at Second City, Just For Laughs, and more..
