Festival and ceremony
The 15th Canadian Comedy Awards (CCA) was held in Ottawa, Ontario.[1] Hamilton and Niagara Falls, Ontario, had also been approached to host the awards if they would become home to a new Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame, but the cities declined.[2]
The awards ceremony was hosted by Tom Green[3] and held on 14 September 2014 at the Ottawa Little Theatre[4] at the conclusion of the Canadian Comedy Awards Festival, which ran from 10 to 14 September. The festival included comedy showcases by many of the 150 nominees at venues including the Ottawa Little Theatre, Yuk Yuk's, and Absolute Comedy. School groups were invited to daytime workshops at the Market Media Mall in ByWard Market, which had interactive exhibits including a standup comedy stage and the television set from The Great White North of SCTV.[5]
