The Foundation for Canadian Comedy (CANCOM), in partnership with Nordicity, is conducting research to develop a profile of comedy performers in Ontario. This survey is part of that research. The insights you provide will help CANCOM, the comedy sector and other stakeholders understand the challenges and barriers experienced by comedy content creators in Ontario and will help inform strategies to support creators. Your participation will help us create a more accurate snapshot of Ontario’s comedy sector, especially in this challenging time amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

- Individuals creating comedy content – including writers, performers, and social media creators
- Independent Production Companies with a particular focus on comedy content (including record labels) n.b. If responding on behalf of a company, please note that the questionnaire is best completed by someone in your company with knowledge of corporate financial information.
