Tickets are now on sale for the 37th annual Toronto Fringe Festival, showcasing over 100 shows in 22 spaces across the city — an increase from last year’s count of 76 productions in 16 venues.
The Toronto Fringe is Ontario’s largest performance festival, and selects its programming by lottery. This year’s lineup features musical theatre, dance, theatre for young audiences, clown, storytelling, and more.
In a press release, the Toronto Fringe highlighted a few milestone presentations appearing at the 2025 festival, including magician Keith Brown’s 55th fringe festival appearance (100% Wizard), British comedian Jimmy Hogg’s 20-year fringe anniversary (Jimmy Hogg: The Potato King), 75-year-old Valerie Boyle’s fringe debut (Grown Ass*d Broads Talkin’ Dirty), and 10th-anniversary remounts of fringe hits Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl and People Suck: A Musical Airing of Grievances.
The festival will also involve a curated series of Next Stage productions: Justice for Maurice Henry Carter, BABZ JOHNSTON: Songs by a WANNABE, Have Fun Kids, and Siranoush.
As previously announced, this year the Toronto Fringe is creating a new festival hub at Soulpepper Theatre’s Young Centre for the Performing Arts in the Distillery District. The building will house five performance venues, in addition to hosting the Fringe Patio, the festival box office, and free ancillary programming.
The Toronto Fringe Festival runs from July 2 to 13. Tickets and passes are available here.
