Comedy
This past summer I had the pleasure of watching Mandal as part of Josh Johnson's Comedy Band Camp and was blown away by the fun performance getting the show to a powerful start, so it was with great excitement I started watching Mandal's $$$$$$.
How do you even review an improv show? What have I done? I was so happy to get these tickets and now I'm in hell.
Don't get me wrong, the show was great. It was some of my hardest laughs of the festival.
This is one of the best concerts I have ever been to, period. Probably top five.
The description of the show on the website does not do it justice. It sounds like it's going to be a one-woman show about social injustice and being sad.
In 12 years of doing stand-up comedy, seeing this show is a moment that truly sticks out for me. I've never felt like I've seen the inside of another comedian's brain, as much as I did last night. Jerrod Carmichael is already one of the most intimate comedians working today.
JFL Toronto Interview: Actor and comedian Johnny Pemberton

Johnny Pemberton has been on your movie theatre and TV screens for a long time.
There's a lot to love here. In a Canadian comedy festival that mostly hires Americans, it's great to see a show by some of Toronto's best performers.
I spoke with comedian Kaitlin Suvera about inspirations, performance prep, and joke density.
I chatted with comedian John F O'Donnell about his upcoming show in Toronto, his 15 years in comedy, and his inspirations.
I sat down over Zoom to talk with comedian Andy Peters about comedy, his time on both coasts, and the upcoming Punx Can't Laugh Weekender festival coming up September 17-19 in Toronto.
People are familiar with Josh Johnson's regular weekly YouTube drops featuring hours of material, his fans eat it up and comedians grumble in jealous wonder at how he achieves this feat.
