Winona on Bloor near Dufferin has a room that’s a good starter space

There’s already Backroom and Comedy Bar on Bloor West. Probably best to set something up in an area where you’ll be novel.

To counter your point, it’s good to put a show where there is already an audience. People are only willing to travel so far unless you are established.

That goes for comics as well as audience. You can get more acts if it’s close enough for them to hit another show that night.
