What a Backroom show is like
New York-style stand-up, up close. Every Pro Show is a stacked run of the best stand-ups working in Toronto right now, with a host keeping it moving.
More comics, shorter sets. If one isn’t your thing, the next one’s up in minutes. The lineup comes together on the night, so no two shows are alike.
