​Joy Club is an accessibility-first open mic night built to bring our community together in Toronto - in a way that's joyful, inclusive, and centered on true belonging. It’s a night where everyone is welcome to take the stage (or cheer loudly from their seat), whether you’re a polished performer or someone who just wants to try something new (or anywhere in between).

​We’re creating a space where disabled and non-disabled people can come together, laugh, listen, perform, dance, and celebrate each other. No pressure. No perfection. Just joy.

​✨ Why We’re Doing This

​Joy Club is part of a bigger idea: building a community-led model of care, creativity, and connection.

​We’re hosting this event to:

• ​Bring disabled and non-disabled communities together in a joyful, low-pressure environment

• ​Support people before, during, and after events through on-site care plus optional aftercare-included tickets

• ​Create something fun, bold, and buzz-worthy that shows what access-centered events can look like

​This is more than an open mic, it’s the start of something meaningful.

​✨ Who’s Invited

​Everyone.

​Joy Club is for disabled folks, non-disabled folks, performers, introverts, first-timers, veterans, music lovers, poetry readers, comedians, storytellers, and anyone else who wants to be part of a fun, inclusive night out.

​We are accessibility-first, but not accessibility-only. If you value community, joy, and expression, then this space is for you.

​✨ Co-Hosted By

​Reuniting for one night only - we're thrilled to have OG you-tubers "T-Rose & The Gurz" carrying us on this journey.

​✨ How to Participate in the Open Mic
