Toby's first steps into the world of comedy were in improv and sketch in 1992. As a member of the award winning company Rapid Fire Theatre for over 15 years, His journey into sketch comedy also began about the same time as his inaugural show at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton with a local group of artists, mentored by the well-known Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. Toby's talents as a musician saw him as a featured guest on local Edmonton radio station, Power 92.5FM performing with the Morning Crew as well as co-writing and performing songs. Since then, Toby has been a guest on CJSR, Mix 96 and K-Rock 97.3 in Edmonton. More locally on The Fox, and Shore FM in Vancouver and many more television and radio stations across Canada. Today you will find Toby tickling the funny bone on his own. Whether you're seeing him in a club, a theatre, or perhaps a tailored show for your company, you're in for a great evening of food, libations, and stories.
