A good comedian can tell a compelling joke and make us laugh. A great comedian can make us laugh and tell a compelling story. Patrick B. Smith is the latter – he has the capability to invent characters we each can relate to and sympathize with all while including gut-wrenching humour. We had the chance to sit down with him and learn about how he got involved with Second City, as well as how screenwriting became as important to him as the performance itself.

It’s no debate that doing yoga has some major health benefits. But what about benefits to those with arthritis or an autoimmune condition? Well, now it does thanks to the Power of Movement. This yoga challenge to help raise research funds is now in it’s fourth year running and hopes to raise over $250,000 on March 7th. Talking with Jess McIntyre of the Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre Foundation, we learned more about how she got involved and why we should too.

We were all super pumped having recently scored tickets for the 2008 Virgin Fest on Toronto Island. Kate and Jean Luc, both lifetime Montréal urbanites, had never been to the islands, and my experience had been limited to socially awkward childhood trips to the Centre Island amusement park with my parents and Ritalin addicted younger brother.
