The Just for Laughs Festival which has moved from Montreal to Toronto takes place over several days in the downtown core. It includes comedy in several theatres and a street festival that closes down Yonge Street and also takes over Yonge-Dundas Square.
The street festival is full of amazing costumes and buskers that have several fixed stages and a parade of creatures. In this video I have posted on YouTube you can see the praying mantis rip through downtown Toronto, probably swallowing tourists along the way.
In 2008 we saw Jason Alexander aka Seinfeld's George Costanza and Robert Klein.
