Jeremy Hotz, the master of observational comedy, returns in 2026 for his 10th national tour, Très Misérables. Coming to Toronto’s The Great Hall on March 14, this coast-to-coast comedy journey promises fresh takes on life’s absurdities with Hotz’s signature wit and charm.
In this Five by Five, Jeremy talks about his comedy styles, the story behind the tour name, and some of the spots he’s visited.

What can people expect from this upcoming show?
They can expect to laugh for 70 minutes in a row. I’ll be hearing a lot of it for the first time too. Then, at the end, my dog will run onstage and tell some jokes.
For those who have never seen your shows, how would you describe your comedy?
It’s a unique experience. There’s only one Hotz. That’s why I’ve lasted so long. If this is your type of comedy, there’s nowhere else to go. Sorry. Now you’re stuck. Like a Leafs fan.
What’s the story behind the tour’s name?
I’m known as the most miserable comic. Not sure why? I think people just don’t like the look on my face. “Les Misérables” is the name of the dumb musical. I learned enough French to know “tres“ means “very”.
Have there been any stops on this tour that were regulars for you?
Yes. I have an amazing repeat business. I have played most of the theatres in Canada before. I’ve done standup for over 40 years. One couple has seen me 27 times. When I forget an old bit I’ve written, I call them to remind me how it goes.
What’s next for you?
I’m headlining the Halifax Comedy Fest again, May 8 at the Spatz Theatre.
