Professional Funnyman

The New Millennium not only saw out the age of the Mullet hairstyle, but also welcomed Toby Hargrave into the world of Stand-Up Comedy. Since, he has gone onto perform at such notable festivals as the Vancouver Comedy Festival, Whistler Comedy Festival, and the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. He was voted the funniest comic in Vancouver at The Vancouver Comedy Festival. He was invited to take part in the national television special Comic Genius put on by the nationally acclaimed sitcom; Corner Gas. As a result he went onto perform in the International Comedy Laff Off Hosted by Yuk Yuk's that welcomed some of the world's top Comedians.

Toby's first steps into the world of Comedy were in Improv and Sketch, in 1992. As a member of the award winning company Rapid Fire Theatre for over 10 years, he has proven himself a skilled improviser, performing with the likes of Joe Flaherty of SCTV fame and with another award-winning Improv Company, Die Nasty, during their annual "soap-a-thon". His journey into Sketch comedy also began about the same time as his inaugural show at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton with a local group of artists, including the well-known Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie.

Toby's talents as a musician saw him as a featured guest on local radio stations, such as Power 92.5 FM, performing with the Morning Crew as well as co-writing and performing songs aired. Toby has also been a guest on CJSR, Mix 96, and K-Rock 97.3 in Edmonton, and radio stations across Western Canada.

Winnipeg Comedy Festival

Toby is also an award-winning actor; the recent short film Spin Cycle, shot on location in Vancouver, won him the coveted Best Actor Award for Vancouver's 48 hour Film Festival.

Today you will find Toby tickling the funny bone on his own. Whether you're seeing him in a club, or perhaps a tailored show for your company, you're in for a great evening of food, libations, and stories. While many comedians rely on shock humour, gags, props, and cursing- although he does admit to cursing, from time to time - Toby relies on the truth: "…An exaggeration is still technically the truth." He's convinced that the truth is the funniest thing of all.

A skilled storyteller, Toby has a wonderful gift for making the audience feel right at home. His comedy has universal appeal, leaving audience members nodding in agreement, feeling "me too!" Or in stark horror saying "may God have mercy on his heathen soul".

In a world of overly abrasive comedians, Toby is charming and humble. One might even say he is chumble… one might!

In addition to his solo stand-up show Toby is a part of the Best of the West; a trio of award winning stand-up headliners, ready to bring you to your knees!
