From The Toronto Star: On May 12, Gilda's Toronto, a cancer support charity named in honour of beloved Second City Toronto Alum Gilda Radner, hosted "It's Always Something: Open Mike," featuring Mike Myers and Colin Mochrie. This event marked Myers's first performance at The Second City Toronto in more than 30 years. Proceeds from the evening went to help people living with cancer by providing individualized, no-cost social, emotional, mental and practical support programs.

I got to spend the weekend in cottage country and spend 95% of the time hanging with friends and 5% playing with them. I love these humans.

What a great way to end our season, with another killer show to a Sold Out audience! Thank you to everyone who came out to any of the shows and to @comedybarto for being great hosts.

We’ll be back in September with more shows, but I doubt any will mention @jethrotull_ as much as last’s did.

Have a great summer!
