Today in Toronto the First Annual Toronto Sushi Festival will run until tomorrow at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. Touting itself as Canada's largest sushi fest, we'll all have to see if it's unfun or pretty good (will you risk it?). $30 gets you five food tickets. At TIFF the I for Iran festival, curated by Iranian filmmakers, is screening a can't-miss retrospective until until April 3rd. Check out the programming here.

The Sketch Comedy Festival kicks off today until March 15th, if your funny bone is hurting for attention. Future is the Future's online clothing shop for guys and gals is throwing a party, while, speaking of future, the new Fresh & Future weirdo electronic music series is back on Bloor at Bassline. On this month's line up are Sexy Merlin, Zoo Owl, Kovacevic, and Baalam x S/ck F/sh. Before 11pm both drinks and cover are $5. For more events, click on over to our events section.
