Trash Panda Comedy returns to The Second City for The Best of Trash Panda, a four-show encore run celebrating their funniest and most loved sketches from the past three years. Following acclaimed performances at Toronto Sketch Fest 2025 and 2026, this show brings together fan favourites that have packed rooms and left audiences howling.

From early performances at Comedy Bar and Yuk Yuk’s to sold-out nights at The Theatre Centre and The Second City, Trash Panda has built a loyal audience with its mix of satire, silliness, and sharp social commentary. Their hit Trash Panda Christmas Spectacular became a holiday highlight for Toronto comedy fans, known for turning seasonal chaos into inspired sketch theatre.

This special encore run features Luis Escobar, Matt Sadowski, Igor Sljivo, Heather Dancey, Marika Simon, Caroline Lesley, Rebecca Singh, and Laura Scarlett. Each night will also showcase a different Toronto sketch troupe as the opener, ensuring that no two shows are the same and that every performance highlights the incredible range of comedic talent across this city.

Trash Panda Comedy was founded by Stuart Simpson and Luis Escobar, who write and produce much of the troupe’s original material. Their guiding idea is simple: keep it funny, deep, and true. Known for quick, pointed takes on pop culture and everyday absurdities, Trash Panda turns headlines, habits, and familiar situations into fresh, unforgettable laughs. Their work captures the SNL-style energy and creative spirit that audiences have long loved at The Second City.

The Best of Trash Panda Comedy is a celebration of three years of original sketch work, the thriving local comedy scene, and the troupe’s one-of-a-kind perspective on life in Toronto.
