CapabilityBrown's fave comedian, improviser is at Kurt Smeaton

CapabilityBrown — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:08:56 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave comedian, improviser is at Kurt Smeaton because Consistently funny. He's created some of my favourite improv moments. Most improv is 'you had to be there' funny -but I find myself acting out his material for my friends. He can usually be found at Catch 23 (improv at Clinton's).

CapabilityBrown's fave Animal is at Albino Squirrel (Trinity Bellwoods Park)

CapabilityBrown — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:44:19 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave Animal is at Albino Squirrel (Trinity Bellwoods Park) because This beautiful all-white adventurer loses its luster if you see it more than once. Though, the first time, you'll feel as if you're part of prophecy. Rejuvenate the experience by pointing it out to children in the park. Tell them things like: "if you catch it you can make a wish", "it swam here from Japan", or "what white squirrel kid?".

CapabilityBrown's fave Restaurant is at Latin American Emporium (243 Augusta)

CapabilityBrown — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:25:40 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave Restaurant is at Latin American Emporium (243 Augusta) because I'm always disappointed being at a restaurant and ordering something that I would have made at home. I've only helped make pupusas once and I've never done tamales so this place is an adventure each time. Charmed by the homemade food and the terrible seating section (crowded and poorly heated) -these things work on me.

CapabilityBrown's fave comedian is at Kathleen Phillips

CapabilityBrown — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:44:15 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave comedian is at Kathleen Phillips because Original. Consistent. Creative. If you see her perform, you'll want to see more. She tells curious stories through an impressive array of characters. I always ask her to open when I have a show but then I have to put up with everyone fawning over her when I want them to talk about how funny and talented I am. She's really annoying that way. Once you see her and fall in love you are obligated to approach her and demand that she create a one person show.

CapabilityBrown's fave Library is at Toronto Public Library

CapabilityBrown — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:34:53 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave Library is at Toronto Public Library because Go online and you can search and reserve resources from any library in Toronto and they will ship it to your local branch for you to pick up. It's a lot of fun to reserve a great book, forget a couple of weeks later, and then have the library call you to tell you it's ready for pick up. This is how I discovered graphic novels (go for Sacco's Gorazde, Tezuka's Buddha, and Miyazaki's Nausicaa). Read now (also you can borrow movies).

CapabilityBrown's fave Restaurant, Roti is at Ghandi's Cuisine (often mispelled: Gandhi's)

CapabilityBrown — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 12:02:46 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave Restaurant, Roti is at Ghandi's Cuisine (often mispelled: Gandhi's) because Pricey considering their overhead but you get a lot of quality roti. Also, they do not f*ck around with the spice. Most places in the city have watered down their "hot" level so that Torontonians feel strong. Ghandi's is out to set the record straight. Spice like having a loaded gun pointed at you; you sweat and start re-evaluating your life's choices. Of course you can ask for no spice but then everyone knows you're not the chosen one.

CapabilityBrown's fave Restaurant, Cheap Eats is at Buddha's Vegetarian Foods

CapabilityBrown — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:49:05 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave Restaurant, Cheap Eats is at Buddha's Vegetarian Foods because Cheap. Large portions (one dish will feed two). This place is a long way from glamouros and I love that. You won't be bombarded by music, television, ads or trendy atmosphere. It's simple and functional. I've had some of my favourite conversations here. My crew consistenly orders the Singapore Curry, Imitation Duck and Spring Rolls, if more people come we add the Vegetable and Cashews dish. My Gods, I want to eat there right now.

CapabilityBrown's fave Theatre is at Unit 102 Theatre Studio

CapabilityBrown — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 16:16:17 GMT

CapabilityBrown's fave Theatre is at Unit 102 Theatre Studio because The first time I performed here (stand-up comedy) a cat jumped on the stage and I knew this would be my favourite venue. Liz and Luis, who run the place, have big hearts and no business sense. They're beautiful people and extremely supportive. It seats about fifty so it's perfect to pack the place for an intimate show.
