SECOND LANGUAGE COMEDY

DystopiaToronto, ON
Friday, April 17  •  8 PM - 10 PM
Overview

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!
