Freshly Squeezed Comedy is back — Toronto's monthly night of tight, sharp comedy. Hosted by Jwalit Bharwani, one of Toronto's freshest rising stars, running the night with a mix of his road-tested, fire material, some fun crowd work, and a few new jokes fresh off the notebook. Expect the kind of energy that only comes from a comic who knows the room and isn't afraid to work it. Joining him is a lineup of killer touring comics — Ashwyn Singh, James Roque, and Monica Gross — each bringing the same mix: their tightest, tested bits alongside brand-new material they're still sharpening on the road. These are comics who've toured internationally and know how to hold a crowd, so expect big laughs from start to finish. Whether it's a bit that's been killing for months or a joke getting its first real reaction tonight, this is a lineup built for one thing — a room full of people laughing hard, all night long. One host. A stacked international lineup. One night only.

Armed with the unique perspective of growing up in rural Idaho to become a favorite in the New York stand-up comedy scene, Ryan Hamilton is one-of-a-kind. He’s been named one of Rolling Stone’s Five Comics to Watch, and recent appearances include The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and opening spots for Jerry Seinfeld as well as Gad Elmaleh at Carnegie Hall. Ryan is endearing stand-up lovers, and his future is bright. In addition to regular television appearances and a non-stop headlining tour, you can watch his first stand-up special, the one-hour original Happy Face, on Netflix. “One of the most reliably funny regulars at the Comedy Cellar, an observational comic who often riffs on the absurdity of his own wholesomeness.” –The New York Times “It was fresh, poignant, and light-hearted without sacrificing depth.” – Forget The Box review of Ryan’s show “Edgy, Boundary-Pushing Comedian” at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival PLEASE NOTE: Shows marked 'Special Event' may be excluded from our refund policy; in which case all sales are final.
