Almost a quarter of Canada's population resides in and around the great and grand city of Toronto.

One of the most famous comedy performance groups and shows, Second City Toronto, has developed the likes of comedy alumni Martin Short, Mike Myers, and John Candy, among others, and hosts many up-and-coming new comedy acts.
