The Cartoon Party is TAAFI's Comedy Block and contains laughs for general ages, teens and grown ups as the night goes on. Side effects may include sides aching, sniggering, and the need to take a pee break. This screening also includes Gary and His Demons.

*Please note the comedy gets more mature and immature as the night goes on so put the kids to bed after a bit.


Gary and His Demons: This will be the Festival Premiere of Gary and His Demons! We will be joined with key creatives from the TORONTO MADE Amazon Prime series.
