SIMON RAKOFF
Simon Rakoff has been a comedian since 1978. His act is well crafted and thought provoking delivered with the smoothness of a veteran and the enthusiasm of a newcomer. He has made audiences laugh across Canada from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. A top headliner, Simon’s quick mind and engaging personality also make him a popular MC at clubs, corporate, and charity events. A favourite at comedy festivals, Simon has performed at Montreal’s Just For Laughs, Halifax Ha!, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival and many others.
On television, Simon has appeared on innumerable Canadian shows and had his own special on CBC. He also provided humorous commentary on the local Toronto news. He is also a frequent voice on national radio on shows including The Debaters, Laugh Out Loud, Madly Off In All Directions, Definitely Not The Opera, and As It Happens.
Simon is also a much sought after writer and has added his talent to Canada’s sitcoms, sketch, and panel shows.

Just a friendly reminder from your pals at Spotlight Comedy Club:
Our shows are live, and our comedians are very real humans with feelings — and mics that pick up everything.
To keep the laughter rolling, we kindly ask:
Phones away and silent
Save the side chats for after the show
Heckling? If your inner heckler makes a disruptive appearance, we may gently escort both of you out — no refunds, no hard feelings… just a quiet walk of shame.
Thanks for helping us keep the spotlight where it belongs — on the stage!
