JFL Toronto Review: The Lauren & Mary Show
Posted by: Andrew Lizotte • October 5, 2026 @ 8:45am
How do you even review an improv show? What have I done? I was so happy to get these tickets and now I'm in hell.
Don't get me wrong, the show was great. It was some of my hardest laughs of the festival.
JFL Toronto Review: Sasha Velour - Travesty
Posted by: Andrew Lizotte • October 4, 2026 @ 2:36pm
This is one of the best concerts I have ever been to, period. Probably top five.
The description of the show on the website does not do it justice. It sounds like it's going to be a one-woman show about social injustice and being sad.
JFL Toronto Review: Jerrod Carmichael
Posted by: Andrew Lizotte • September 28, 2026 @ 5:41pm
In 12 years of doing stand-up comedy, seeing this show is a moment that truly sticks out for me. I've never felt like I've seen the inside of another comedian's brain, as much as I did last night. Jerrod Carmichael is already one of the most intimate comedians working today.

There's a lot to love here. In a Canadian comedy festival that mostly hires Americans, it's great to see a show by some of Toronto's best performers.

JFL Vancouver Interview: Comedian and YouTuber Grace Helbig
Posted by: Matthew Ardill • February 9, 2026 @ 10:03am
If you've been anywhere on the internet, you've probably at some point encountered Grace Helbig, either in the form of her successful YouTube vlogs, her TV Show The Grace Helbig Show, late night appearances, or collaborating with creators like Mamrie Hart and Hannah Hart (no relation) on film

JFL Toronto Interview: Scottish comedian John Mostyn
Posted by: Matthew Ardill • October 5, 2025 @ 2:02pm
I got a chance to chat over Zoom with comedian John Mostyn to catch up on storytelling, comedy, and their shared love of Britpop bands.
JFL Toronto Review: Maria Bamford
Posted by: Andrew Lizotte • September 30, 2025 @ 7:27pm
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write. I took these tickets with reckless abandon and now here I sit, like a fool caught in a Faustian bargain.
How do you describe a Maria Bamford show? How do you even explain Maria Bamford? For reference, Judd Apatow is currently working on a documentary about her, because even he can't explain it.
