THIS MONTH'S COMEDIANS:

Hershawn Arora (@rapsandlaughs):

Hershawn Arora is Toronto’s brightest young comic. His high-energy style, cerebral crowd work, and vulnerable material set him apart from his peers. In 2023, he debuted with Just For Laughs by recording a Just For Laughs Originals EP. Later that year, Hershawn was named an International Roast Battle™ All-Star and battled at the illustrious Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas.

This year, he was named a Top Prospect and taped a set with the renowned international record label: Comedy Records™. With a loyal online following that is rising in numbers, he has sold out his last nineteen independently produced shows. A fan-favourite at all Toronto comedy clubs, Kenny Robinson's Nubian Revue, and a regular at the world-famous Your Hood's a Joke, Hershawn has been recognised as one of the most promising acts in the country and is blazing his trail to becoming a nationwide headliner.
