I've seen large spacer earrings before, but Dante Nero takes it to another level. You'll see what I mean. Lend me your eyes as I walk you through This Week In Comedy.

So they didn't make the playoffs. The way I look at it, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...follow me as I walk you through acts that are intentionally funny in This Week In Comedy.

Street art has recently become a hot topic in Toronto, as Rob Ford's anti-vandalism policies and SPUD's retaliatory "War on Ford" have brought the debate over graffiti's artistic merit off the streets and into the galleries. While internationally-renowned street artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey have been able to sell their works alongside contemporary art's biggest names for years, the phenomenon is still relatively new to Toronto. Deadboy, the latest local artist to make it indoors with a solo show at Ossington gallery Don't Tell Mama, shows how difficult the transition can be in an uneven exhibition that proves street art needs something more than just topicality to be gallery-ready.

Last week, the top-floor windows of The Great Hall were illuminated by the West Queen West Neighbourhood Party. Helmed by Active 18, the event served up cocktails, snacks, beats from DJ duo Muscle and Heat, and most importantly, an opportunity for the neighbourhood to mingle. The evening also saw the public presentation of several proposed artist-directed projects in the heart of West Queen West, chief among them a park and an artist's centre.

Walking into Whippersnapper Gallery, I was immediately disoriented by my surroundings. Instead of the typical white walls of an art space, I found myself standing in a call centre. After doing the mental double check to make sure I hadn't stumbled into a room where people were frantically trying to make their quota before the long weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting the artist and gallery co-ordinator, who filled me in on what's going on with this new exhibit.

Bob Newhart's in town. Who's he? How dare you. Just some guy whose albums ranked above Elvis and The Sound Of Music in 1960. Follow me as I burn offerings to a god on This Week In Comedy...
