Why Have A Canadian
Comedy Hall Of Fame?

Comedy has always been one of our greatest exports and Canadians have always led the world in comedy:
From the first political cartoonists to the Vaudeville circuit,
From Stephen Leacock to Peppiatt and Aylesworth
From Beatrice Lillie to Catherine O’Hara
From Wayne and Shuster to John Candy to Mike Myers.
That’s just some of the reasons why we need to make a CCHOF happen!
