WHAT’S ON
Here’s where to find upcoming Knifefight Theatre shows, special events, and monthly chaos.
KUMITE IMPROV 26
Toronto’s best improvisers enter the ring in KUMITE IMPROV, Parkdale’s monthly improv comedy showdown. Six performers compete in three teams of two through four rounds of completely unscripted scenes, challenges, and audience-fuelled chaos.
After round three, the third-place team is eliminated. The final two duos then go head-to-head in a winner-takes-all showdown, with the audience helping decide who leaves victorious.
Every KUMITE features a new lineup, new scenes, and a different kind of beautiful disaster. Come ready to laugh, cheer, and pick sides.

INVASION: Christmas Carol
Toronto’s holiday comedy tradition returns.
Invasion: Christmas Carol begins as a sincere, fast-moving production of Charles Dickens’ beloved Christmas classic. Then, a surprise guest performer invades the story as a character of their choosing—and starts throwing Scrooge’s past, present, future, and emotional baggage completely off course.
The cast knows the story. They do not know who is coming.
Their job is to accept the chaos, fold the invader into Dickens’ world, and somehow still get Scrooge redeemed by the end.
The story stays the same. The invader changes. Every performance has its own jokes, disasters, callbacks, emotional left turns, and impossible-to-repeat moments.
No two shows are the same.
