Vote for the Canadian Comedy Awards

Posted on: July 5th, 2011 by julianne

This year, the Canadian Comedy Awards added some new public voting categories to their awards list.  The public is now able to vote on five categories:  Best TV Show, Best Film, Best Web Clip, Best Radio Clip and Comedy Person of the Year.

So get yourselves over to the CCAs website and log your vote. You’ll have to create an account in order to do so, but it’s not hard to do and there’s a contest to win passes and accommodations for the CCAs in Toronto in October. That’s cool, right?

And while you’re thinking about the Canadian Comedy Awards, why not send good vibes to past TOSketchFest troupes who have been nominated for awards:

  • Falcon Powder (Best Sketch Troupe)
  • Hot Thespian Action (Best Sketch Troupe)
  • Picnicface (Best Sketch Troupe)
  • Haircut (Best Web Clip: Suburbanite)
  • Bull Hooey (Best Film: Don’t Walk Out that Door)
  • Punch in the Box (Best Comedic Play or Revue: Pick of the Fringe)
  • The Second City (Best Comedic Play or Revue: Something Wicked Awesome This Way Comes, and Best Sketch Troupe)

And there are literally dozens of individual comedians who have performed at TOSketchFest nominated for their work in television, film and live performance. We can’t list them all. That would take all day. Just click to see the list.

Good job guys. Way to go.

ps. If you are a legit industry voter, industry voting on all categories closes tonight at midnight.

Montreal Fringe Loves Sketch!

Posted on: June 27th, 2011 by julianne

The Montreal Fringe Festival wrapped last weekend, and of course, sketch comedy was well represented. Previous TOSketchFest performers were nominated for “Frankie Awards”: Peter ‘n Chris (TOSketchFest 2010) from Vancouver were nominated for the Just for Laughs Best Comedy Award, and our friends Uncalled For (TOSketchFest 2008, 2009, Best of the Fest 2009) from Montreal received a special “Lifetime Spirit of the Fringe Award”. See all the winners here.

The great news? Both of these troupes will be performing in Toronto at the Toronto Fringe, July 6-17.

Take our advice… if you missed Peter ‘n Chris when they were at the TOSketchFest last November, DO NOT MISS THEM when they return to town. And of course, Uncalled For will blow your mind with their award-winning show Hypnogogic Logic. You’ll love it.
