Better Than Going To The Movies

I surprised my guy with tickets to a Second City show.

Me and my fiance Kyle decided to branch out of the dinner and a movie routine and find something more worthwhile to do on a Friday evening.

I recently just purchased my first condo with my fiancé Kyle down by the lakeshore. We’re both young professionals and figured it would be a good investment for the long term, something we could get a good return on somewhere down the road.

It’s a great place; we have an awesome view of the lake below, and we’re literally nestled beneath the financial district in Toronto, getting to work has never been easier. It was a big jump for us, but we decided that having a space like this would be beneficial when we would want to sell and start a family elsewhere.

We’re not big on heading uptown, and to us, the suburbs are a place we’ll start heading to when we have kids. We also think anything past Bloor Street is a romp out of the city. Kyle and I like to eat out a lot, and we’re always looking for something new to do that isn’t that expensive. Nightclubs are a nice alternative some weekends, but it can get a little too much with the younger crowd around us, so we started looking around for other forms of entertainment.

The Scotiabank Theatre isn’t too far away, but these days the price of a move, popcorn, and drinks can get a little hefty. We were getting a little exhausted with the usual routine of clubs, bars, and restaurants, so I suggested to Kyle that we should see some kind of performance art. He quickly suggested that we were not going to the opera or any form of ballet, so it was up to me to find some that could accommodate us both.

After a bit of searching, I found the The Second City Theatre in Toronto.
