About Monkey Toast
Smart, Funny, Unpredictable. Always a Good Time.
Monkey Toast is an award-winning improvisational theatre company founded in Toronto in 2003 by Second City Mainstage alumnus David Shore. In the past two decades, we’ve called eight different venues home, won six Canadian Comedy Awards, made thousands of locals laugh, wowed our corporate clients, and even expanded into the UK.
Our mission is simple: gather the best improvisers in the business and put on the best possible show. Now Magazine called us “…the best comedy deal in town.” We call it time well spent.
