Sketch to the Death! features the funniest established and up-and-coming sketch comedy groups competing to be crowned Toronto Sketch Champions!

Since Sketch to the Death started in 2018 hundreds of performers spill blood on our stage. The combination of up-and-coming and established groups playing on the same shows also made for an incredible series of community events that help introduce new troupes to the scene, and returning troupes to a whole new generation of comedy talent.

Many of Toronto’s favourite sketch comedians credit Sketch to the Death with helping them get a foothold in the comedy community. Many have received encouragement and attention through moving forward, being featured in our Toronto Sketchfest Showcase show, or maybe even winning our Best Newcomer Award. But also, getting your ass kicked despite having a great show (or even an awful one) in a friendly and supportive environment is a great way to get your feet wet.

Former competitors, whose success we played somewhere around 0-2% in, include many favourites in Toronto Sketchfest and other festivals around the continent, have graced all of Second City’s stages, and somehow, Saturday Night Live. Yes, actually.
