A no-holds barred standup comedy festival - but don't take our word for it - take theirs!

Hosted by Craig Lauzon, Customs & Integration features comics whose families came to Canada from elsewhere in the world, talking about the contrasts between their old world and their new home. It’s a look at what being Canadian means in 2016. Featuring comedians Dan Taylor, Mark James Heath, Vishal Ramesh, Dave Merheje, Nour Hadidi, and Martha Chaves.

Hosted by Mary Walsh, Truth Bomb stars comics with passionate, uncompromising opinions doing material about how they see the world and society. Featuring Danish Anwar, DeAnne Smith, Peter White, Adrienne Fish, Pete Johansson, and Simon King.

Hosted by Seán Cullen, the 15th Anniversary Gala is a celebration of a decade-and- a-half of laughter, as past Winnipeg Comedy Festival favorites return for the ultimate “best-of” show, featuring Erica Sigurdson, Elvira Kurt, Nikki Payne, Darryl Lenox, Graham Clark, and John Wing.

Hosted by Naomi Snieckus, All Geek to Me is a celebration of geekdom, as self-identified nerds, geeks, and dorks reveal their joys, struggles, and geeky interests, and obsessions. Featuring Mayce Galoni, Jeremy Woodcock, Cheryl Hann, Lori Gibbs, K. Trevor Wilson, and Greg Morton.
