For more than three decades, Jeffrey Canton has shared folk and fairytales as well as original stories that dig deep into the strata of Toronto’s history as well as, with a little soft-shoe and a gay show tune or two, his own queer past. A long-time member of Queers in Your Ears, Canada’s only 2SLGBTQIA+ storytelling collective, he’s appeared at the Toronto International Storytelling Festival and the Replay Story Fest and Nuit Blanche. He’s currently collaborating on an exciting project with Big Pond Small Fish, Mammalian Diving Reflex and the Archives of Ontario. Jeffrey also teaches storytelling courses about telling personal stories through Storytelling Toronto including “Voices Seldom Heard”, the first 2SLGBTQIA+ course that focuses on the lives and experiences of queer tellers, which he originally developed for Storytelling Toronto.
