The Tim Sims Encouragement Fund Award is an annual award given to Toronto's "most promising new comedy act."

The Award is given annually as part of the Cream of Comedy showcase at Second City, which features performances by that year's five finalists and which is televised by The Comedy Network.

The Award is named in honour of Tim Sims, a member of the Toronto comedy community who died in 1995. Sims is probably best known for his roles as Jack the Cave Man in The Red Green Show and as Circle Researcher Rory Tate in a popular series of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercials in the 1990s.

The TSEFA was established and is run annually by Lindsay Leese.


Winners:

*in 2002 Hart and Polley tied for the award after the jury became hopelessly deadlocked; a new rule was made that Lindsay Leese would receive a tie-break in future years, if necessary, to avoid the same problem.
