The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival (GOCF) has unveiled the lineup for their inaugural Mississauga weekend, taking place September 11th to 13th in Erindale Park in partnership with Visit Mississauga. The exciting expansion into the GTA marks another milestone in the GOCF’s cross-country and cross-border evolution, bringing world-class comedy and community celebration to even more fans across North America.
Kicking off the weekend on Friday, September 11th, is the razor-witted John Mulaney, joined by Nick Kroll, Mike Birbiglia, and Fred Armisen for an unforgettable opening night. Saturday, September 12th begins with an afternoon headlined by the quick-fire Adam Ray is Dr. Phil Live, with Ms. Pat and T.J. Miller, and the weekend wraps on Sunday, September 13th with a co-headline set from the incisive Hasan Minhaj and acerbic Ronny Chieng, a dynamic pairing joined by Michael Kosta, with an afternoon show co-headlined by the refreshingly unfiltered Matt Mathews and the fearlessly honest Jordan Jensen, with an opening set by the hilarious Katherine Blanford. More announcements are still to come for the Saturday, September 12th evening show.
Single-day tickets are on sale Friday, February 20th, at 10:00 a.m. ET, with limited three-day passes available now – grab your tickets here.
The GOCF continues to expand its footprint across North America, with Mississauga joining a lineup of cities that includes Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Calgary, Vancouver, and Spokane, WA. Each city brings its own personality to the festival, and Mississauga is set to add a fresh new energy to the mix.
What truly sets the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival apart is the way it builds community beyond the stage. Through the Great Outdoors Community Fund, the festival invests in local charities and organizations that reflect its three core pillars: Arts & Culture, Mental Health, and Sustainability. Each city stop sees meaningful support directed toward initiatives that strengthen local creative industries, foster inclusion, and help create lasting impact long after the curtains close. It’s a model rooted in connection, ensuring that GOCF gives back to the same communities that make the festival experience possible.
