The Gladstone Hotel - Give Weird a Chance?

Posted by Staff / November 8, 2005

I recently found myself attending an event at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West). Canzine - and I decided it was just a little bit on the odd side as I was confronted by a flapping black trenchcoat... carrying a dead white squirrel... proclaiming to be the featured psychic of the event. Announcements throughout the day advertised upstairs showcases including a Quadroplegic concert, and a naked man of sorts. Huh. So I've been browsing the website, and it's confirmed. If you're up for surreal, strange, or more subtly titled "an experience" - keep up with the happenings at this venue. Burlesque shows, indie readings, shopping events, dances - there are no limits to the variety offered. What it takes the average person to experience in a lifetime, I promise you can soak up in just one night. Coming soon are... The Wetspots Big Ass Show, Hump Day Bump, Swamperella, People Still Gots to Eat, and many, many more.

I just found out that the comedy Duo ,Competitive Awesome, from Chicago, USA will be performing at the Gladstone hotel next weekend at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival. They are amazingly funny. I never get this excited about upcoming shows like this, but these guys are the next big-thing in America. They will be famous so soon...so I advise all: to go and see them now...while we can still see them in such an intimate space. Competitive Awesome, you guys rock!
