DANCE | full stop
If you're wondering what 'full stop' is all about, here's your answer. It is a "new site-specific dance work inspired by and including the Gemini Award winning dance-film Streetcar," and it will be presented by Peter Chin and Nick de Pencier tonight at Hub14. Hub14 is one of the most innovative and eclectic places on the city's scene right now, and therefore you will be nothing short of impressed by its latest show.
Hub 14 (14 Markham Street), 8pm $22/$18 CADA

COMEDY | Comedy at Czehoski
A night of hilarious and belly-busting comedy awaits you at Czehoski tonight, hosted by XM Radio Canada's Next Top Comic 2010, Matt O'Brien. Some great stand-up comedians will take the stage with one goal: to make you laugh until you cry. Or pee. So make sure to frequent the loo often if consuming the $4 beers.
