Laugh Your Way Into 2026 — New Year’s Eve at Massey Hall!
Toronto’s funniest New Year’s tradition is back! Ring in 2026 with a night of non-stop laughs at the legendary Massey Hall, curated by Yuk Yuk’s Mark Breslin.
Hosted by Canadian comedy icon Colin Mochrie — the improv master from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and the hit touring show Hyprov. Colin’s razor-sharp wit guarantees an unforgettable evening.
Headliner: Mike Rita — Toronto’s own award-winning storyteller whose hilarious takes on family, culture, and everyday life have earned him the title “Voice of a Generation.” Seen at Just For Laughs and honoured as one of the most influential Portuguese Canadians, Mike brings heart and hilarity to the stage.
Featuring an incredible lineup of top comics:
- Michael Gelbart — Seen on The Late Late Show and Just For Laughs, Gelbart’s clever, offbeat humour has made him a festival favourite and streaming sensation.
- Cathy Boyd — Brutally honest and brilliantly funny, Cathy wowed audiences on Canada’s Got Talent and is a regular on SiriusXM and CBC Radio.
- Hannah Veldhoen — Oshawa’s self-proclaimed queen of white trash comedy, Hannah’s sharp, relatable style has landed her at JFL Toronto and on her hit podcast Menty Breaky.
- Bobby Knauff — From Thunder Bay to centre stage, Bobby’s award-winning comedy has rocked festivals across Canada, including JFL42 and Icebreakers.
- Michael Moses — A globe-trotting comic with TV credits like Comedy Night with Rick Mercer, Michael’s high-energy sets will leave you wishing you could see him every day.
- Sharon Mahoney — Fearless and hilarious, Sharon’s no-holds-barred comedy has taken her to stages worldwide, from Australia to the UAE.
- Ryan Dillon — Newfoundland’s own rising star, Ryan’s clever, self-deprecating humour has earned him spots on Just For Laughs, Kevin Hart’s LOL Network, and his chart-topping album Violently Nice.
Show ends before midnight — so you can keep the party going!
