Happy Hour Open Mics
These are open mics. New and up-and-coming comics try out fresh material: it’s looser and a little unpredictable, and the bar’s on happy hour.

What’s a Backroom show like?
A stacked lineup
Every show is a run of the best stand-ups working in Toronto right now, with a host keeping it moving, plus the odd surprise drop-in.
Short sets, fast pace
More comics doing less time. If one isn’t your thing, the next one’s up in minutes.
No two shows are alike
The lineup comes together on the night, so you never see the same show twice. That’s the fun part.
“At Backroom, we believe in MORE acts doing LESS time. If a performance isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry: they’ll be offstage in a flash!” Ariel Kagan, co-owner
