ART: The mammoth Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition continues—despite the ongoing strike—for its third and final day in Nathan Phillips Square. Approximately five hundred artists compete for more than thirty-five thousand dollars in awards, and try to sell some art in the process. If you get tired of wandering and wondering, Steam Whistle Brewing plays host at the beer garden set up near The Archer. Nathan Phillips Square (100 Queen Street West), 10:30 a.m.–6: 30 p.m., FREE.

It takes chemistry, faith and ego control to make a comedy duo work—elements that aren't easy to keep in check. In improvisational theatre, a duo has even less control over the laughs because it's all made up on the spot. But that's the beauty of the form—it's a high wire act. Me Likey, a combo comprised of Jan Caruana and Rica Eckersley, is one of the city's most successful comedic pairings. In June, the act will be representing the T-Dot at the San Francisco Improv Festival. To warm up and raise funds for the Fest, Me Likey is putting on a show tonight at the Bad Dog Theatre.
