- On Friday, February 6th, and Saturday, February 7th, Kevin will begin his largest ever Canadian-organized event, with “An Evening With Kevin Smith” Q&A sessions at the Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto. Last we heard, a handful of tix were available for the Friday night show, though that may have changed by now. Saturday sold out a LONG time ago. This two-night event will feature Kevin taking the stage with new anecdotes, taking your questions, and making you laugh until you cry. As each show will be audience-driven via questions, both shows will be very different, so you might want to hit both if you’ve got the means.
Following this, Sunday the 8th thru Tuesday the 10th, Kevin will spend 3 more days in Toronto at the Bloor cinema, as their 3-night Kevin Smith Fest features 6 great View Askew flicks and live Q&A sessions with Kevin after each. For all intensive purposes, this is a “best of” Vulgarthon without the title. Fans from across the globe are expected to be there, so you should too. Again, we have not heard of a sellout at the Bloor just yet, but we expect every seat to be taken, so your best bet it to nab a 3-night ticket for all 6 films for $60. If you prefer to take your chances on tix for any of the screenings still being available at the door, they’ll cost you $20 PER MOVIE each night ($15 per movie when purchased in advance).
To promote the gigs, Kevin phoned in to 102.1 the Edge Toronto to talk about it all this week. He was on the show for a good half hour and also revealed he’d appear on the show all week when he’s in town (so we’re expecting
that means starting Friday the 6th, hopefully). Miss it? You can listen to the program via a podcast available on iTunes under the “Dean Blundell Show” , or visit 102.1 The Edge’s Podcast Website for a direct download of Part One and Part Two in MP3 format.Five straight days of Kevin in one of Canada’s greatest cities, where his fans are some of most devoted in the world. This is the first 5 day in a row event we’ve ever seen from Kevin in View Askew history — Almost like a View Askew Woodstock (with some downtime during the day to take in some of Canada’s great sites). We hope many of you can make it.

Kevin In Hartford: Photos!
- We’re told that Kevin was in top form for the Hartford show, from old school stories on shit demons, Mewes’ member, and those unexpected gems that only happen one time when an unexpecting audience member steps into the spotlight. Some lucky fans even joined Kevin onstage for the entire event for a night they’ll never forget. These photos come to us from Mike Nakowicz, who calls this “one of the best I have been to”, and he’s seen Kevin live SEVEN TIMES. The man’s truly in top form, and there has never been a better time to see him doing the live thing onstage.
Click above for Mike’s wonderful photos from what certainly looks like a crazy evening of fun improv.
