Hello internet. I’m alive. I just moved to Brooklyn and spent the last month worry about and preparing for that, and I’ll write about it someday, but for now I’m on vacation in Toronto and I feel like talking about that.
Sunday night I went to Comedy Bar and saw The Sketchersons’ show, Sunday Night Live. It’s a sketch show newly written and performed every week. (Like SNL, hence the name.) The Comedy Bar is basically my ideal comedy club. It has a bar for a lobby, that can be used whenever, with separate stages for shows. The P.I.T. in New York City is the only other example I can think of that pulls this off.
I came to the show because I saw an all-female version of The Sketchersons at this year’s Women in Comedy Festival. We had talked for a while after their show and, knowing that I’d be on vacation in Toronto, said I’d have to see them in Toronto. I was also told by several people to check out Comedy Bar, so it was a win-win. The show was really funny and I recommend checking it out. It’s been running weekly for the past seven years, so that speaks to the quality of the show itself.
