A live comedy show experimenting with language and laughter as comedians take on a new language. Free show.
What happens when comedians are forced to do stand-up in a language they definitely don’t speak?
Chaos. Confusion. And a whole lot of laughs.
Second Language Comedy is a one-of-a-kind comedy show where Toronto comedians put their skills to the ultimate test: performing stand-up while incorporating words from a completely unfamiliar language. This edition features Estonian — a language most of our comedians have never heard before, let alone spoken.
How it works:
Each comedian is given an Estonian word and must use it at least once in their set — or build an entirely new bit around it. The result is unpredictable, absurd, and surprisingly brilliant.
Featuring some of Toronto’s most exciting up-and-coming and established comedians:
- Adam Wolch
- Diana Galligan
- Joey Crewe
- Sharmaine Ehi
- David Foggia
- Michi
- Mickey Dykeman
🎤 MC: Olga Loitsenko
If you’ve ever tried (and failed) to learn a new language — or just love watching comedians struggle in the best possible way — this show is for you. Bring your friends and come laugh along with us.
🎟️ Free show (donation-based).
Tickets are free, but seating is limited — reserve your spot to secure a seat!
