Montreal has no shortage of festivals. There are so many in fact that some might not even land on your radar screen. Don't let that be the case with the upcoming Montreal Sketchfest! From May 21st to the 30th, Le Nouveau International is producing the 10th Anniversary of Montreal Sketchfest at Theatre St. Catherine (264 Sainte-Catherine E.) and the Montreal Improv Theatre (3697 Saint-Laurent). For those of you who are not familiar with sketch comedy, think Saturday Night Live or This Hour Has 22 Minutes – short vignettes of crazy characters, designed for maximum laughs in quick succession.

‘Roar! Yeah Baby ooh Baby yeah!’

As many of you know, last night a Sports happened. The annual event, known colloquially as the ‘Super-Bowl’ involves a contraindicated mixture of homemade nachos of questionable quality to be guzzled down with what I am assuming is micro brewed beer. It’s the one thing we all do collectively as North Americans so I hoped you watch because who’s side are you on? Seriously, 120 million people watched this thing last year, making it the most watched television event of all time, topping the MASH finale. Fun facts, right? Does anyone even remember MASH? It doesn’t matter.

On January 18th 2015, Sage A.S.S and Clara P.S embarked on a journey peppered with whips and groans, unveiling the characters of Montreal’s Sex industry. They interviewed a porn star, a BDSM baby, a man who carves penises out of wood and a handful of other interesting people.  They left tired, a little bit unsettled, but thoroughly satisfied.

Dive into their journey to Le Salon de l’amour et de la seduction, Quebec’s largest sex and romance consumer show!

I hate to say it, but I am an Instagram addict. I see friends and they tell me, “Oh I loved your photos on Instagram, you really post a lot!” A back-handed compliment, praised tinged with judgment. I don’t really know anyone in my personal life who uses the medium so ardently, so consistently, so obsessively, and to what end?
