The one and only hip hop debate, where we argue the pro's and the con's til the break-a break-a dawn. Watch freestylers take your suggestions and debate the relative merits of time travel, zoos, Cats: The Musical, and anything else you can think of. I'll personally be laying down the beats. And you... you can jump up on stage with us and take a shot at the crown! [more inside]

Toronto's Indie Comedy Hour is a show that you have to see at least one time. It's fun, it's low-key and it's held in a really nice venue, No One Writes To The Colonel (they have some bitchin' mojitos). The show has featured performances from Hannibal Buress (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Bob Kerr (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Hotbox), Marco Bernardi (Cream of Comedy 2010), to name but a few. Each show closes out with an open mic showcasing up-and-comers who may be featured acts in upcoming editions of the Indie Comedy Hour. FEATURED PERFORMANCES BY: - Avery Edison - Jon Kane - Blair Streeter - Diana Love [more inside]
