The Alternative Show with James Adomian

English

The Alt Show is back! The legendary late-night showcase returns, this time hosted by the brilliant James Adomian (Comedy Bang! Bang!, MadTV). A yearly cornerstone of the JFL Toronto lineup, The Alt Show is known for its boundary-pushing, anything-goes energy. Comedians are encouraged to debut new material, take big swings, and push the limits of the craft in front of a game crowd.
Expect chaotic brilliance and the kind of fearless comedy that only happens when the rules go out the window.
