We're the problem - Jesse Singh and Abdullah Usman
2 of Toronto's top standup comedians (CBC, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Sirius XM) bring you a night of DOUBLE HEADLINER LAUGHS
A night of laughter, conversation, and good vibes with two standup comics who have a lot to say, plus surprise guests! Abdullah and Jesse crack up audiences all over the country as club-favourites, and now they're joining forces to joke about their goofy misadventures, destructive behaviours, relationships, family, political events, and of course — being South Asian in Canada. Let's laugh about it.
Abdullah Usman is an award-winning Pakistani-Canadian comedian based out of Toronto. He was a writer and correspondent on CBC's critically acclaimed TV series This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and previously, a writer-producer on CBC’s Street Cents. As a stand-up comic, Abdullah has been featured on Just For Laughs, CBC Television, CBC Gem, Radio One, the Edmonton Comedy Festival, Arctic Comedy Festival, and is a headlining act across the nation at top clubs such as Yuk Yuk's and Absolute Comedy. His humour is drawn from his tales of living a culturally juxtaposed life, struggles of unravelling modern adulthood, dealing with identity, religion, and garnished with societal and pop culture banter.
...
Jesse Singh: Jesse Singh has quickly made himself a household name in Toronto’s comedy scene. He has been featured on some of the most renowned platforms of Canadian comedy such as being part of the Just For Laughs festival in Toronto, CBC Radio’s Laugh Out Loud, SiriusXM and opening for comedy legend Colin Mochrie from Whose Line is it Anyway? While growing up in an immigrant household and living in the unpredictable streets of Toronto, Jesse used humour as a means to navigate his way through life. His ‘unbelievable but very true’ personal experiences and realness on stage, makes him not only hilarious but also very relatable.

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!
