Filmmaker, author and actor Kevin Smith returns to Toronto for another legendary evening of unconventional stories about movies, life and everything else. Smith, best known for writing and directing such feature films as Clerks, Dogma and Chasing Amy, regularly appears live at major venues across the United States, Canada and the UK, but every appearance in Toronto has been among Smith’s very best shows.

Smith’s colorful and unchecked stage “performance,” entitled An Evening with Kevin Smith, provides an up close and personal look into the irreverent mind of the talented filmmaker and pop culture connoisseur. During his three-hour show Smith engages in an unreserved audience Q&A, a feature of his appearances that has gained cult status among his fans.

Smith, who has just wrapped up his next feature, an as-yet untitled buddy cop feature starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, has written and directed eight feature films, as well as several television projects, including several episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Smith has also released three DVD’s of his various stage shows (An Evening With Kevin Smith, An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder – which includes Smith’s debut at Roy Thomson - and A Threevening With Kevin Smith).

Smith has also published two books of essays and blog postings (Silent Bob Speaks and the New York Times best seller My Boring-Ass Life), and written for major comic book giants DC (Batman, Green Arrow) and Marvel (Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Black Cat). In addition to filmmaking, Smith has occasionally moonlighted as an actor, appearing in Live Free Or Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, and Catch And Release, starring Jennifer Garner.

Smith is also an Internet fixture, with a highly active website (www.viewaskew.com) and one of the most popular Twitter feeds around (@thatkevinsmith).
