GenreSketch Comedy

The Sketchersons run the weekly stage show Sunday Night Live, which is modeled after Saturday Night Live which airs on NBC. Sunday Night Live began in Toronto in early 2004 at The Rivoli on Queen Street West, but only lasted for 2 shows before moving to the Poor Alex Theatre on Brunswick Street at Bloor, with hosts such as Amanda Walsh, Scott Thompson, and Snow. In 2005, The Poor Alex closed, and the show moved across the street to The Brunswick House, a popular bar for university students. Notable hosts from this stint at "The Brunny" include Colin Mochrie, WWE wrestler Chris Jericho and Royal Canadian Air Farce's Don Ferguson. From January to December 2007, the group had a successful run at the Diesel Playhouse. Hosts from that year included Toronto Mayor David Miller, Canadian Idol Ryan Malcolm, Tyler Stewart and Kevin Hearn (members of The Barenaked Ladies) and former Toronto Argonaut John Avery.

In January 2008, Sunday Night Live went on hiatus as the show's new, permanent venue was under renovation. In November 2008, Comedy Bar opened its doors as the Sketcherson's permanent home, and the cast (which expanded, adding 6 new members) has been writing a new show every week since. Hosts from this era have included famed stand-up comedian Andy Kindler, Kids in the Hall's Kevin McDonald, Greg Proops, wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Actors Tatiana Maslany, Amy Matysio and Kevin Sorbo, Saturday Night Live alumni Jerry Minor and Jeff Richards, Eastbound & Down's Steve Little, The Sports Network anchor Jay Onrait, Second City alum Sandy Jobin-Bevans, stand-up comedians Todd Glass, Todd Barry, Kurt Braunohler, and Video On Trial mainstay Debra DiGiovanni.
