Next Junction Residents Association community meeting is Wed, June 14th,17 , 7pm at West Toronto Baptist Church, 3049 Dundas St. W.

 
Residents associations in Toronto often have lower numbers of people attend their opening of summer meetings. This can be confusing for some people including including this blog runner.

Meetings in June are a great time to discuss the community as it is the fresh start of new season with a lot of outdoor time, for families and children.

Especially a good time to speak about children’s areas and activities. Parks needs, Dundas St W, betterment for kids both subjects need to be addressed in the Junction as designs and amenities in local parks and on Dundas St. W. Are lagging behind in relation to other parts of the city.

Toronto, ON (May 18, 2017) – The Doo Wops finally stop being lazy bastards and make their Comedy Bar debut, 945 Bloor Street WestToronto (Just West of Ossington) in An evening with…The DOO WOPS, one night only, June 3rd 2017 at 7pm and 9pm. Tickets are $20 in advance at comedybar.ca, or, $25 at the door.

An evening with…The DOO WOPS features a night filled with stories, songs and maybe a Charcuterie Board.* Joining The Doo Wops are host Rhiannon Archer and special guest Laurie Elliott. *No Charcuterie Boards will be provided and/or served at this show. 

The Doo Wops are a renowned musical-comedy duo blending song and satire with a uniquely Italian-Canadian flavour. Made up of John Catucci (Host of the Food Network’s You Gotta Eat Here!, two-time Canadian Screen Award-winner for Best Lifestyle Series) and David Mesiano, The Doo Wops have appeared on stages and screens across North America and taken their act international, performing in the UK, and in Australia at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Their album, Almost Nearly Recognizable, is available on iTunes. During their rise, they won the Just for Laughs Homegrown Comic Competition that led to many more festival appearances. They’ve received two Canadian Comedy Award-nominations, one for their hour-long comedy special, Comedy NOW! on CTV/The Comedy Network, and one for a Just for Laughs gala performance. The duo are excited to return to Just For Laughs in Montreal this summer. 

Laurie Elliott, a four-time Canadian Comedy Award-winner, has made a name for herself as one of the most versatile and entertaining comedian-writer-actors in Canada. Laurie’s stand-up credits include all the major Canadian Comedy festivals including Just for Laughs in Montreal and Toronto, and as far away as the Cape Town Comedy Festival in South Africa to name a few. You may have seen her and heard her on CTV, The Comedy Network, IFC, CBC, Teletoon, Showcase and on CBC Radio’s The Debaters. She is a prolific writer and has contributed to numerous live action and animated TV shows. She is simply a delight.

Rhiannon Archer is a stand-up comedienne, actress and writer from Toronto. Named one of “Six Hilarious Female Comedians You Don’t Know Yet—But Should” by Bitch Media, she has performed at comedy festivals throughout North America. She was nominated for two Canadian Comedy Awards –Best Stand-up Newcomer and Best Comedy Short for One Woman Show, which she wrote and starred in. She can’t do math under pressure and lives with her husband, a baby and dog Beefy. She enjoys sour keys and dislikes mushrooms.
