13 hours ago Toronto comedy club with 290 online reviews is just a room in some guy's house

While the old saying claims there are no small parts (just small performers), it failed to mention anything about venues, and one "comedy club" in Toronto — if you can even call it that — is proving that there absolutely are, in fact, small spots.Confession time: I've dipped my toes into the comedy world once or twice in my time, and from open mics to improv shows, one thing — aside from my propensity to absolutely bomb — remains fairly consistent; the creativity required to transform a space into a comedy club.Aside from the professional spots who've refined the comedy-going experience to be as absolutely palatable to mainstream consumers as possible (think Yuk Yuk's, Second City, Absolute Comedy), other comedy venues across the city tend to fly a little more under the radar for those who aren't, as we in the comedy biz say, "on the scene."It can be all too easy, therefore, to fall into some debaucherous pit (more likely a bar basement or weird bac...

Canadian parents can expect an increase in their Canada Child Benefit payments in 2025, though it won't be as sizeable as the last two years.July always marks the start of the Canadian new benefit year. Since 2018, the government has used a process called indexation to increase benefit amounts to better support parents as the cost of living changes."This indexation means that the maximum benefit amounts and income thresholds at which benefits begin to be reduced are increased annually to keep pace with the rising cost of living, giving parents more support each month to help them provide for their children" an Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) spokesperson explains.The maximum benefits and the income thresholds are indexed annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).In July 2024, child tax payments increased by 4.7 per cent, meaning the maximum benefit for children under six increased by $350, from $7,437 to $7,787. For children aged six to 17, it increased b...
