Toronto standup comedian Steph Tolev has joined a long list of celebrities complaining about traffic in the GTA.

She has just done it in a much more humorous way than most in an Instagram video posted to her 626,000 followers over the weekend.
Tolev, who moved to L.A. in 2016, is featured complaining about gridlock on Hwy. 401 in two Ontario towns in particular — Milton and Guelph.
She says La La Land has got nothing on The Six when it comes to nightmare traffic.
“If I ever hear one more person ever complain that L.A. has the worst traffic, you’ve never been to Toronto. You’ve never been on the 401,” rants Tolev in the video set in her car and posted to her Instagram account.
Tolev really loses it when it comes to Milton, Ont.
And then she takes things one step further.
“Who the f*** lives in Milton? Why am I in gridlock in Milton, Ontario, then at a standstill in Guelph? What the — who lives in Milton? Who lives in Milton!?”
Apparently, the traffic was so horrendous that Tolev almost peed her pants, saying: “I almost just wet myself at the ONroute, sprinted in.”
“Who lives in Milton?” she asks again. “Why am I parked — if you don’t know what I’m talking about, Milton, Ontario is f***ing buttf*** nowhere. Cows live there. Piles of s*** live there. No one lives in Milton. You’ve never heard of Milton? Is Milton on the map? I hate Milton.”
In response, some sympathized, while others joked along with her on Instagram.
“Valid crashout. Thank you for confirming our suffering,” wrote @helu_aklillij.
“Miltonian here — nobody actually lives IN Milton, we just live parked on the 410. I hope this was helpful.”
“A Canadian heritage moment,” wrote @skynormington.
“I am from Toronto and I live in L.A. and I would drive in L.A. gladly and gratefully one thousand times a day before I would get on the 401 at any moment,” wrote @sammaggs.
“It’s not that bad. You just can’t take it from 7 a.m-9 p.m. Monday through Sunday,” wrote dgooooo82.
Tolev, who performed in London, Ont., on Nov. 6, released the Juno-nominated comedy album I’m Not Well in 2019 and in 2022 opened on Bill Burr’s comedy tour and was featured in his Netflix special Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill .
Last year, she recorded her own Netflix comedy special, Filth Queen , in Boston and was also a guest star in the Shane Gillis -created Netflix series Tires .
Over the last few years several high-profile celebrities have spoken out about Toronto’s severe traffic congestion.
Tom Cruise called Toronto’s traffic the “real Mission: Impossible” during a TV interview, Will Ferrell complained about TIFF gridlock, saying it took him 30 minutes to travel just a single block, Guillermo del Toro was frustrated about traffic delays while filming Frankenstein in town, Seth Rogen vented about the heavy traffic congestion around the city during TIFF and Niall Horan shared he had to rent a bicycle to make it to a venue on time because he got completely stuck in Toronto traffic.
