TORONTO – CTV Comedy Channel, with Just For Laughs, will be celebrating Canadian comics and supporting such artists experiencing hardship in these unprecedented times with a special few nights of programming.
From August 3-6, four Crave original stand-up specials from some of Canada’s funniest, including Aisha Brown, Tom Henry, Letterkenny’s Mark Forward, and Robby Hoffman (all pictured), will make their broadcast debuts on CTV Comedy, taking over the 11 p.m. timeslot while The Daily Show With Trevor Noah is on hiatus for the week.
During each special, viewers will be invited to donate to the Emergency Relief Fund for Canadian Comedians organized by the Canadian Association of Stand-up Comedians, which assists comedians with their emergency financial needs for essential living costs. Viewers will see an on-screen call to action during each special’s broadcast and across all CTV Comedy social accounts. Donations can be made via the link above.
Produced as part of Bell Media’s ongoing partnership with Just For Laughs and originally commissioned for Crave, the specials were filmed in front of live audiences at the 2019 Just for Laughs Festival in Montréal and the 2018 JFL42 Festival in Toronto.
