The Just for Laughs Road Show returns to the Kingston Grand Theatre on Friday, April 17, 2026, bringing a night of professional comedy to the city’s downtown heritage venue. The performance will take place in the Rosen Auditorium at 7:30 p.m., marking the 21st anniversary of this touring comedy tradition.
This year’s event is hosted by Ali Hassan, known for his work on the radio program Laugh Out Loud. The lineup features three additional performers: Alistair Ogden, winner of a national comedy competition for emerging talent; Anjelica Scannura, a comedian recognized at the 2025 comedy festival; and Jackie Fabulous, who was named one of the top ten comics to watch by Variety in 2024.
The comedy tour is part of the Grand OnStage presenting program, which is currently in its 18th season of bringing diverse performances to the community. While the production is a long-standing feature for local audiences, the broader organization behind the event has undergone recent changes. Following a period of bankruptcy in 2024, the comedy festival and its associated tours were acquired by the Quebec-based company ComediHa!
Tickets for the show are available now, with prices ranging from $49.50 to $59.50, plus applicable taxes and handling fees. Because the production features professional stand-up acts, organizers have issued an advisory that the show may contain adult content and parental discretion is recommended for attendees.
