Toby’s comedy carries a mixture of a surliness (he only attacks when provoked) and an amiable warmth (which gives him the edge of a genuinely nice guy with some deeply seated issues). But somehow this combination all seems to make important and controversial issues palatable.
And so on stage, he is a mix of gruff but warm and it’s sometimes hard to tell when he’s started. Is he doing his routine? Is he just talking to the audience? Is he just sharing an honest life story that came to mind? And so each show ends up being different, not tailored to the audience in a contrived way but shaped by it like a conversation is.
He has appeared at The Vancouver Comedy Festival, The Halifax Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs, and many other Festivals and clubs in Canada and the US. He can also be seen (albeit in some cases quickly) in the upcoming features, Rapture-Palooza, Concrete Blondes, Primary and the new Television series “Show me the funny” on the Chorus channels. He also had his own 1 hour comedy special that the Comedy Channel will play into perpetuity...
