Dave Curran in the Toronto Star

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.”
