  TORONTO'S PROFESSIONAL   STAND UP COMEDY SHOWCASE

The Laugh Resort is not your typical standup comedy club. Firstly, we’re Toronto’s only independent comedy club.

But our philosophy – and that of the comedians who perform here – is also distinct. We know that making you a part of the show – and, more importantly, making you laugh – doesn’t have to involve cheap put downs and expletive-filled rants.

Sure, our shows are everything you want and expect in a comedy club – humour that’s intelligent, edgy, controversial, thought provoking and, of course, consistently very very funny.

It’s why we’ve been Toronto’s premiere choice for standup comedy for more than 15 years. It’s why we’re a haven for such standup icons as Ray Romano, Brent Butt, Adam Sandler, Ellen Degeneres, Ron James, and David Spade.

It’s why Kid in the Hall Dave Foley, calls us Toronto’s Best Comedy Club.

And it’s why you’ll leave our shows laughing – always.

Because at the Laugh Resort, we shoot from the hip. Without aiming below the below the belt.
