From the August 21st article "As Toronto experiences comedy-club boom, meet some of the folks behind the jokes" by Briony Smith in the Toronto Star:
Jokers, run by Curran alongside Tommy Larocque and Yuk Yuk’s alum Steve Kalantar, bills itself as one of the only comedy club in the 905, and hosts shows like Stars of David (featuring Jewish comedians) and the RICE: Asian Comedy Showcase. Curran’s excited about the rising number of clubs in the GTA. “Competition always ends up being better for the consumer,” he says. “Different clubs have different philosophies regarding booking. This gives the consumer more options and better shows.”

From the August 17th article "Magic Ben up to his old tricks in Nunavik" by Cedric Gallant in the Nunatsiaq News:
Surrounded by captivated children, Benjamin “Magic Ben” Déziel was deceiving, creating illusions and entertaining his small crowd. He is a magician, one of the few in Nunavik.
At the age of nine, Déziel started performing magic stunts in his hometown of Kangiqsujuaq. His first exposure to the craft was at his parent’s wedding, where they invited a magician who happened to be a mentor for famous Quebecois magician Luc Langevin. Déziel was mesmerized by the performance and asked his father how the magician did his tricks.
His dad replied, “Well, you’ll have to become one to know.”
