Join us at Comedy Bar Danforth for a comedy album recording by one of the busiest entertainers in the country! 

Ali Hassan is a comedian, actor, author and broadcaster who has performed for audiences across Canada, in the United States and internationally.  Ali has performed at the Just For Laughs festivals in Montreal and Toronto and has toured across Canada as one of the stars of Just For Laughs’ COMEDY NIGHT IN CANADA tour.  Ali took his celebrated solo show Muslim Interrupted to the world's largest comedy festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and subsequently toured it to 30 theatres around Canada.

In 2023, Ali began touring his latest one man show based on his decade in the food industry, Does This Taste Funny?  He recently performed as part of NPR’s The Moth storytelling series in Cincinnati.  His comedic memoir ‘Is There Bacon in Heaven?’ was released in 2022 with Simon & Schuster and was described by Rick Mercer as “perhaps the funniest and most heartfelt Canadian memoir yet.”  

Ali is the host of the hit stand-up comedy radio show Laugh Out Loud, which airs on CBC Radio and SiriusXM, and for the past eight years, he has been the host of Canada Reads, CBC's "Battle of the Books".  

Ali has appeared on the big screen in award-winning films such as French Immersion, the hockey hit Goon and Tammy's Always Dying.  Some of his recent television roles include Designated Survivor (ABC, Netflix), Odd Squad (PBS Kids, CBBC), Dino Dana (TVOKids), Workin’ Moms (Netflix), Murdoch Mysteries (CBC), Hudson & Rex (CityTV) and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+). 

Viewers and critics got best acquainted with Ali through his supporting roles in two recent television shows – Run The Burbs (CBC, Hulu), and the Peabody-Award winning Sort Of  (CBC Gem, HBO Max). Ali was nominated for two Canadian Screen Awards for his roles in both of these shows.

Audiences for CHEF’S KISS will be treated to Hassan’s signature dish of comedy, with much the show based around his decade working in the food industry, his connection to fine cuisine, and the struggles that come with being a gluttonous bon vivant!
