Thank you so the incredible folks who are supporting our new chapter! We’re one step forward to building a new home for Bad Dog ❤️🏡

For more than 40 years, Bad Dog has been a place where people found creativity, confidence, friendship, artistic opportunity, and community.

Now, we’re working toward something bigger:
A permanent home for comedy and improvisation in Toronto.

Thank you to our founding supporters for helping us begin building that future. If you have ever bought a ticket, a class, a workshop - you are also helping our journey, thank YOU!

Every contribution helps us move closer to a new community clubhouse for artists, students, audiences, and the next generation of improvisers.
