Hershawn Arora

Hershawn Arora is one of Toronto’s brightest young comics. His high-energy style, cerebral crowd work, and vulnerable material set him apart from his peers. In 2023, Hershawn was named an International Roast Battle™ All-Star and made his Just For Laughs Toronto debut by recording with Just For Laughs Originals. With a loyal online following that is rising in numbers, he has sold out his last eleven independently produced shows. A fan-favourite at nearly all Toronto comedy clubs and a regular at the world-famous Your Hood's a Joke, Hershawn has been recognized as one of the most promising acts in the city and has no intention of slowing down.

When he was eight years old, Hershawn started writing rap music. What started as an endearing imitation of Eminem became an obsession with lyricism and wordplay. In 2021, Hershawn released his debut album - Hopeless Romantic.
