Toronto: Experience “Comedy on the Water” June 27, July 18 and August 15
Wednesday, June 12, 2019
Aboard an intimate pirate ship of 35 audience members some of Toronto’s funniest comics take the mic and keep everyone laughing. Feel the summer breeze flow through your hair, hear the sound of your laugh get carried by the wind over the water and toward the Toronto skyline as you enjoy the ride aboard a 50ft wooden ‘pirate ship’ in Toronto’s harbor.
This show came to life by connecting producer Virginia Woodall with host PirateLifeTO via the Artery community. Artery is a community platform that brings people together in real life to share & co-create intimate cultural experiences. Artery allows people to open up their own spaces to performers and their music, dance, comedy, theatre, food, wellness, and talks. Launched in Toronto, these showcases are now happening every day in hundreds of living rooms, boats, backyards and storefronts around the world.
This summer’s comedians will include Hisham Kelati (JFL42, CBC LOL, NXNE), Nour Hadidi (Comedy Central Dubai, The Beaverton, Sirius XM Canada Laughs), Marc Hallworth (YYComedy, Sirius XM Canada Laughs), Sandra Battaglini (JFL42, Best Female Standup NOW Magazine), Hoodo Hersi (JFL Homegrown Comics), and more!
Comedy on the Water is a stand-up comedy show that transports Toronto’s comics from the typical dark basements of a comedy club and onto a pirate ship, taking a beautiful sunset sail around the Toronto harbourfront!
