The 10 Best Performances in Downtown, Canada
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Caught a show here whilst staying in Toronto for the weekend. The show itself was fantastic and the performers/ comedians were really on point with some great improv bits weaved beautifully into their script. The venue and service made this an all-round top notch night. Highly recommend getting front row seats if you can, meaning you can walk in and skip the line to be seated right away. Will go again when next in Toronto.
