A converted church in Parkdale that hosts theatre, comedy, and live performance — The Assembly is one of Toronto's most beautiful unconventional venues. The comedy programming is curated and ambitious, often blending stand-up with sketch, music, and theatrical elements. The space itself is stunning: stained glass, high ceilings, and a genuinely spiritual atmosphere.
Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles · Address: 1479 Queen St W, Toronto
