Crackup Comedy Festival

The time has finally come. We’re announcing the Opening Night Gala ✨

From director Colin Hanks and lifelong John Candy fan Ryan Reynolds comes JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME, an exploration of the life of the Canadian comedic icon. This John Candy film documents his on- and off-camera existence, featuring never-before-seen home videos, intimate access to his family, and candid recollections from collaborators to paint a bigger picture of one of the brightest stars of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. It’s the story of a son, husband, father, friend, and professional driven to bring joy to audiences and loved ones while battling personal ghosts and Hollywood pressures.

TIFF Members get early access to Festival tickets and more unbeatable benefits. For a limited time, get 35% off Individual Membership. Join now at tiff.net/membership 🍿

See you September 4-14.

We get many requests from comics to be considered for our Festivals and it seems almost everyone of them is from Americans. We are a Canadian Comedy Festival and have committed to only hiring Canadian Comics, but I am also telling them that until the US changes its Visa Policy and allows Canadian comics the same opportunities in the US as Canada affords them we won't even consider it. We have way to many deserving and funny comics here to ever need to look across the border. Although we may consider if we can charge them a tariff ;)
