Over the last several years a group of committed sponsors have come together to support a comedy show featuring Canadian and international stand-up comics who raise money for worthy causes.

Humour Me gives a concept commonly found on reality TV a comedic twist by inviting high-profile and influential business professionals to perform a short stand-up routine in front of a live audience. The contestants will compete to be recognized as the “Funniest Amateur” of the evening receiving the coveted Baba Mary trophy – named after my funny grandmother. Not only will these amateurs write and perform five minutes of original stand-up comedy, they will juggle comedy classes, everyday business and fundraising. They will work their Contacts lists, strong-arm their business associates and beg for every possible dollar for charity. After intense coaching by seasoned local comedians these movers and shakers will be judged on-stage by a panel of industry veterans.

Following the comedy challenge a headliner will take the stage for the second half of the show. In previous years we have had Iliza Shlesinger, Brian Regan, Paul Reiser, Gerry Dee, Tig Notaro, Howie Mandel, Gary Gulman, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jerry Seinfeld, Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey and Jim Gaffigan headline the evening.

As the event evolves, we remain focused on raising funds to support organizations that deliver vital services to Canadians. Over the years we have raised over $29 million for some incredible groups who are working hard to make a real difference. 

We want to give everyone an evening filled with fun, laughter and friends while supporting a great cause. 

See you at our next show!
