Sorry, We're Funny: The History of Toronto Comedy

Please note: Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Author Kliph Nesteroff Moderated by Andrew Clark

Join us in conversation with celebrated "historian of comedy" (The New York Times) and author Kliph Nesteroff for the launch of his book Sorry, We're Funny (Doubleday Canada); the story of how Canadian comics took over the world. Nationally acclaimed comedy critic Andrew Clark joins Kliph in conversation as they explore the History of Comedy in Toronto.

As two of the most qualified voices in Canadian comedy, Nesteroff (CNN, HBO, Vice) and Clark (The Globe and Mail, The Walrus, Maclean's and The New York Times Magazine) bring decades of knowledge and insight to the stage for a thoughtful look at the influence Toronto's comedians have had across the Canadian entertainment industry and beyond.

Expect stories about local legends, rivalries, scandals, old venues, iconic moments, the comics who made it and the ones who disappeared.

Conversation to be followed by audience Q&A and book signing. Copies of Sorry, We're Funny will be for sale at the event by Type Books.
