🚨TUESDAY AUGUST 19TH🚨

Paradise is thrilled to welcome back traightioLab co-hosts and intellectual gay guys George Civeris and Sam Taggart as they return to the only true art form left: standup comedy. Yes, they’re co-headlining a night of comedy that is sure to include astute observations, biting commentary, and perhaps even mild self-reflection (on your part – not theirs).

Paradise

A 1937 heritage-designated Art Deco venue in Toronto's Bloorcourt neighbourhood, Paradise reopens in 2019 following a highly anticipated renovation.

Paradise offers a unique, welcoming experience through food, drink and the arts. The complex includes: Paradise Theatre, a state-of-the-art venue presenting a curated mix of newly released films, older classics and undiscovered gems, as well as live music, talk series and multi-arts events; Osteria Rialto, a full-service restaurant offering up fresh, seasonal ingredients in dishes that innovate on classic French and Italian cuisine; and Bar Biltmore, where spritzes, sours and negronis are enjoyed alongside small bites.

The building on this site has operated as a cinema since 1910, and we are proud to continue its century-long tradition of bringing Torontonians together.
