Toronto Comedy All-Stars presents Your Hood’s A Joke, a series of knock-down drag-out comedy battles between Toronto’s most uproarious neighbourhoods. Local comedians duke it out with their hilarity at Comedy Bar, the ‘Thunderdome of Comedy’. Your Hood’s A Joke promises a clash of epic proportions with comedic titans teaming up and squaring off in honour of their respective hoods.
On Saturday, February 21, Your Hood’s A Joke presents a battle featuring crusading comedians hailing from two Toronto hoods, Bloordale vs. Cabbagetown. The Bloordale Needle Knights consisting of Lianne Mauladin (ABC’s The View), Amanda Day (SheDot Festival) and Megan Myke (Absolute Comedy) will go head-to-head against the Cabbagetown Cow Tippers; represented by Nails Maloney (Host on Q107), Jesse Owens (Funny business Inc.) and Ryan Dylan (BiteTV Award Winner) as they fight for comedic domination. Who will rule the Toronto comedy roost? The gentrified neighbourhood or the neighbourhood currently being gentrified?
The founder of Toronto Comedy All-Stars, Danish Anwar, will host this battle. An accomplished stand-up comedian, Anwar is trilingual, a finalist in JFL42’s Funniest Torontonian Award and will be appearing in this year’s Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
Call me biased, but I will root for the Bloordale Needle Knights, as it is very close to my own West-side Toronto ‘hood. So we’ll have to check out the show to see how the teams fare, and see who survives the battle!
