WHAT IS Dumpster Fire?

DUMPSTER FIRE (@dumpsterfiretoronto) isn’t just a comedy show—it’s a chaotic playground for misfits, rule-breakers, and dreamers.

Think of it as the hilarious coming-of-age tale of two women who are already well of age.

Equal parts stand-up, improv, and interactive chaos, no two shows are the same, but all will appeal to fans of Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

A HILARIOUS LINEUP

Showcasing the city's best comedians such as:

• Sandra Battaglini (Just For Laughs)
• Amy Bugg (CBC)
• Isabel Zaw-Tun (Winnipeg Comedy Festival)
• Charmaine Turner (Comedy Bar)
• & surprise guests!

Meet Your Hosts:

• Marlena Kaesler (@lillymarlena): A lovable creative misfit who thrives on the unconventional, Marlena brings dark punchlines and experimental humor to the stage. A veteran of the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard, she’s spent years building a career marked by boundary-pushing comedy and stories you’ll never forget. From the Toronto underground music scene to running a pandemic-era backyard comedy club, Marlena’s journey has been anything but ordinary. She’s also a published author (Shitty Fairy Tales, now in TV development), a two-time house-fire survivor, and a self-proclaimed future Colin Farrell kisser.

• Karine Kazan (@karinekazan): Equal parts whip-smart and wildly relatable, Karine is the female Saul Goodman you didn’t know you needed. A lawyer-turned-comedian, she skewers everything from societal norms to immigrant-parent expectations with sharp wit and charm. Karine is a rising star in Toronto’s stand-up scene, consistently delivering performances that demand attention and leave audiences wanting more.

What happens when a self-proclaimed misfit and a lawyer-turned-comedy-powerhouse join forces? Schemes, laughs, and a show you’ll be talking about for weeks.

Get ready for a night of laughter, friendship, and good vibes!
