Toronto has the best and most loyal fans, in – the – world! So while you’re going about the week, don’t forget to support our sports ‘comrades.’
Monday
Get ready durrrty dotters, this week is about to get hypnotic! The bad boy of hypnosis, Dave Curran, is ready to get you under his spell (or is it your spell?) at the Revival Theatre through November 29th.
If you’re worried you won’t “come back” then have a laugh at The Dark Comedy Festival which is back for its third installment featuring some of the industry’s renowned comedians. It’s dark, controversial and deeply personal – so enter at your own risk.
Tuesday
Imagine everyone easily confessed their inner most and dark thoughts and feelings to you. The power of horns, is what Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) possesses in Horns – where he also happens to be the prime suspect for the rape and murder of his girlfriend (Juno Temple).
Come join appreciators of art at The 2014 Emerging Toronto Artists (ETA) Awards: “Art At The Palais,” as over 60 local artists are celebrated. It’ll be a night of live music, dancing, art exhibitions (for sale) and the ETA Awards winner’s presentation. The event also features a silent charity auction to raise funds for featured Secondary Schools with specialized arts programs in the GTA.
But if you’re in the mood for some live action, catch the Raptors as they de-thunder OKC at the Air Canada Centre (ACC).
Wednesday
Feeling down on hump day? Dressing up and eating fancy might be the cure. Supporting The Stop Community Food Centre’s anti-hunger program, the 10th annual “What’s On the Table” (WOTT) benefit is on at Daniels Spectrum. Toronto’s finest foods from the finest restaurants will be under one roof as well as wines of Niagara. Featured restaurants include: Aria, Beast, Monforte, Victor and plenty more. Just don’t get any of it on your fancy duds.
Go to the Bahamas with the Barr Brothers at the Danforth Music Hall. Join hip hop artist and social activist, Brother Ali at Tattoo. Knox Hamilton and Xprime rock it out at The Garrison.
Thursday
You know we love anything “reel” in the Tdot. Good thing the Reel Asian International Film Festival begins on Thursday. Showcasing contemporary Asian cinema and work from the Asian diaspora, the festival includes films and videos by East, South and Southeast Asian artists in Canada, the U.S., Asia and all over the world.
Also “Surfacing” on Thursday night is one of Canada’s vocal gems, Sarah McLachlan. She “Shines On” at Massey Hall.
Unless you prefer to go MOBB Deep, live at the Gurvenment for their 20th Anniversary Tour. This “Timeless” duo wants you to “Get Down” or “Say Something.”
Friday
The Toronto Argonauts need a win this Friday. Go cheer them on to a comeback against the Ottawa Redblacks at the Rogers Centre.
Not far off, the club scene will be on and popping right from Lady’s Night with the delicious Tim Warmels at Cube. Huxley and Breach put a British spin to things at Coda or get stepping to Adelaide Street and have a Billion reasons to dance at Uniun.
No matter where you go, there’s nothing like a good greasy meal before you head to pillow-ville. Try out New Ho King for noodles, sizzling pots and plenty seafood – all at an affordable “open ‘til 5am” price.
Saturday
The New York Rangers take on our Maple Leafs on Saturday.
The vibe continues downtown as Cash Cash and Project 46 take over the Guvernment. You might choose to Ryze with Christopher Lawrence or opt for Future Perfect Synergy ft. Mr. Brown & MC Trajady at Bassline Music Bar.
For your late night cheap eats, we suggest 441 Queen West for a burger made for HERO’s – open 24/7.
Sunday
For Sunday brunch, enjoy Memories of the farm French toast or The I Know What You Did Last Night Burger (also known as The Hangover Helper) at Emma’s Country Kitchen. That’s one for champions!
Then channel your inner peace with a mosaic and stained glass workshop at Stonegate.
