Founded in 1999, the Canadian Comedy Awards have a mandate "to recognize, celebrate and promote Canadian achievements in comedy at home and abroad."[1] The awards ceremonies are known for placing "gags over glamour" with quick wit and improvisational skills shown by hosts, presenters and recipients.[2] From 2002 to 2015, the awards ceremony was held as part of the Canadian Comedy Awards Festival, with dozens of comedy events.[3]
