The Canadian Comedy Awards & Festival was established eight years ago to recognize and celebrate Canadian comedic talent. In 2003, the awards show moved to London, Ontario and began growing into the festival it is today. Londoners continue to embrace the festival and enjoy shows, workshops, film screenings and even have a go at being funny themselves in the Funniest Person in London Contest.
Entertaining, fun and full of laughs the festival continues to delight audiences for four days of laughter with over 120 comedians and performers descending on London for 16 shows and events. The festival's mandate to recognize and celebrate Canadian achievements in comedy at home and abroad is the heart of the festival while showcasing Canada's homegrown stars.
