Weds August 15th @ The Garrison, Dundas St West @ Ossington Ave.

FREE ENTRY

Featuring:

Naiomi Perera
Shahrin Shawkat
Diwali Luharia
Matt McLaren
Plus a story and a MAGIC TRICK from the amazing magician Scott Hammell!

Hosted by me, Marsha from Yes Yes Marsha

The show is a really lovely night, friendly and warm. There is a 20-minute interval, but quite a few people come on their own with a book or something, so if you fancy doing that, you won’t be the only one.

If you want to come early and grab some food, The Lakeview diner (est 1932) is a few steps away, with the best shakes (I love banana-vanilla) and sweet potato fries in Toronto.

Dear ones!

Next show will be Weds August 15th at The Garrison – details coming soon but save the date!

In the meantime, the videos from the (amazing, AMAZING!!!!) last show are up. If you were there, you’ll know how it was a bit magical, one of my faves we’ve ever had. THANK YOU to everyone who came along!

If you weren’t there go and watch the videos online! To start you off, here’s (double Canadian Comedy Award-winner) Sam Mullins with  a story that made me laugh so hard I sounded like a guinea pig, shaking and squeaking:
