Calgary Challenges Toronto in 'The Ultimate Comedy Battle! Your Hood's A Joke' Tonight

Toronto Comedy All-Stars presents YOUR HOOD'S A JOKE, a monthly series of knock-down drag-out comedy battles between uproarious communities. YOUR HOOD'S A JOKE is a brawl of epic proportions as local comedians team up and square off in honour of their respective hoods.

Tonight, April 18, Your Hood's A Joke presents a special National battle featuring comedians from the Wild West and those born and raised in "The 6", CALGARY VS. TORONTO. The CALGARY CLIMATE CHANGERS team consisting of Amanda Brooke Perrin (Just for Laughs), Jesse Owens (Funny Business Inc.) and Marc Hallworth (Siren's Comedy), will go head-to-head against the TORONTO TRANSIT TITANS team; represented by Lianne Mauladin (ABC's The View), Andrew Barr (Yuk Yuk's) and Amanda Day (SheDot Festival) as they fight for comedic domination. Will comedians from the city with the best mayor in the world be victorious? Or will comedians from "Queen City" prove once and for all that Toronto is the centre of the universe?

Comedian and founder of Toronto Comedy All-Stars, Danish Anwar will host this battle for the right to be called the funniest of all the land, until the next battle! Born and raised in Moscow, Anwar is the only Russian-Born-Indian-Bengali-Canadian-Comic (that we know of!). An accomplished stand-up comedian, Anwar is trilingual, a finalist in JFL42's Funniest Torontonian Award and will be appearing in this year's Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
