TALENT SHOW

Vancouver's only televised variety show,

Paul Anthony's Talent Time, celebrates
national humour month with its April 7th
edition at the Biltmore. Guests include urban
dance crew The Groovy G's, magician
Emmette Hall, "homosexual sketch comedy"
from the Ryan Steele Show, teenage opera
prodigy Miriah Reitmeier and sidekick Ryan
Beil, who also happens to star in the Arts
Club's production of Billy Bishop Goes to
War and those whacky A&W commercials.
Show 9 p.m. Admission $8 at the door.

Truth be told, we thought the Chutzpah! variety show Paul Anthony's Talent Time
at the Biltmore Cabaret April 7.
Jewish performing arts festival ended
already. Apparently not--but come Thursday, it will be "officially" over. Closing
out the festivities, Les Yeux Noirs brings its klezmer-fuelled gypsy train to Venue
April 8 for a sure-to-be foot-stomping affair with guest Lache Cercel and the
Roma Swing Ensemble. For tickets, call 604-257-5145 or go to
www.ticketstonight.ca. More info at www.chutzpahfestival.com.

FASHION FORWARD

Even though every week is "fashion week" for the sharp-dressed peeps in the
Courier's editorial department, we'd be remiss not to mention Vancouver Fashion
Week April 7 to 11. In addition to Wednesday night's opening reception at the
Open Road Audi dealership (2395 Boundary Rd.) the runway shows get underway
at the Empire Landmark Hotel (1400 Robson St.) starting Thursday. Please let
rugby pants come back into style. More details at www.vanfashionweek.com.

LOWER THE BOOM

Vancouver Pro Musica presents Sonic Boom 2010, its annual festival of new music
featuring original works by B.C composers, April 8 to 11, at the Western Front
(303 East Eighth Ave.) Performers include string ensemble Orchestra Armonia and
Nu:BC. Tickets $20, $15 for students, seniors and artists or $35 for a festival
pass. Available at the door or www.vancouverpromusica.ca.

How's this for a premise--a group of local comedic improvisers direct the city's
best emerging young talent at Havana Theatre April 7 to 10 for an event called
Young and Spontaneous, brought to you by the organizers of the Vancouver
Improv Festival. Just how improvised will things get? Well, the press release even
neglected to provide info on show times or ticket information.

TOOTHY TONIC

Vancouver New Music's annual spring concert series Sonic Tonic kicks off April 8
with Montreal's Quatuor Bozzini, which, according to the press bumph, moves
between the avant-garde and traditional and has been known to "get its teeth
into music." Show 8 p.m. with a free artist chat at 7 p.m. at the Scotiabank
Dance Centre (677 Davie St.) Tickets $25/$15 at Sikora's Classical Records, 604-
684-2787 and www.ticketstonight.ca.

DRAMA-RAMA

Answering the age-old question "What happens when you put a writer, a baritone
and a pianist into a room?" Savage Parade portrays an emotionally turbulent
period in the life of 19th century French poet Paul Verlaine. Described as
biographical drama that combines traditional theatre with music recital format, or
"song drama," Savage Parade runs April 8 to 10 at Granville Island's Waterfront
Theatre. Tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
