THE TO-DO LIST

HOWIE MANDEL

The comedian is famed for latex gloves: first for blowing them up with his nose, and then for using them to help assuage his mysophobia. Comedy, p13-14.

RUIN AND ROSE

It’s a ski movie that doubles as a warning of pending environmental catastrophe; images of the desert of Africa’s Skeleton Coast provide contrast. Movies, p23.

CALGARY EXPO HOLIDAY MARKET

Slap a Santa hat on that Darth Vader costume and you have the perfect cosplay for this nerdy holiday market. Craft Fairs, p20.

VIEWS FROM THE NORTH EAST

Calgary comedians join forces at Yuk Yuk’s: Marito Lopez calls Calgary home; the opener, Chris Griffin, once did. Comedy, p13-14.

VSVSVS

The art collective with the vowel-free name (say “versus” three times fast) encourages you to touch this exhibition that opens at Contemporary Calgary. Art, p14-17.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS

Calgary Young People’s Theatre puts a youthful spin on the Alexandre Dumas novel at West Village Theatre. Children’s Theatre, p11.
