　 Artist’s Night on Saturday, April 7th at the University of Toronto’s historic Hart House will feature a variety of musical and comedic performances, including longtime JAVA favorites After Hours, sketch/improv comedy troupe (and longtime supporters of the JCSA at U of T) Asiansploitation, plus many more.

At our first ever Artist’s Night, JAVA (the JApanese Visitors Association) brings together three of our favorite activities:

1) supporting and sharing the message of local and international artists
2) connecting Japanese-speaking Toronto visitors with local and international artists
3) raising money for a good cause

Artist’s Night is a fundraiser with all proceeds being split evenly between the artists and JAVA. JAVA is raising funds to support the free seminars and other events and services we offer to the Japanese speakers and the “Japan-in-Toronto” community. Please come out, support JAVA, and support great performers.

Tickets are all sold out thanks to everyone’s support.

Tickets were $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Tickets were available through JAVA representatives at the JCSA at U of T every Saturday from 14:30-17:00 (room 3202 in the Sandford Fleming Building, 10 Kings College Road), and at Japanada every Tuesday from 18:30-21:00 at Urbana Coffee at 878 Yonge St (just North of Bloor). We can no longer do reservations or sell tickets, but please email us at letsjavatoronto@gmail.com if you have questions. Big thanks to JCSA and Japanada for supporting our event!

Artists and Schedule:

7:00 Doors Open

7:30-7:50 Tatsu from VPV
Tatsu began learning the fiddle completely by accident after meeting a friend on a monorail train in Okinawa, 6 years after being disillusioned by classical violin music. He plays a few different styles of fiddle music, mostly Irish but with a smattering of Scottish, Breton and a new addition, French Canadian. He also plays the Bodhran, an Irish drum that is a lot of fun to fool around with. He will play a selection of tunes from these diverse areas plus show you what the Bodhran drum can do.

7:50-8:00 Toronto Bozu
A fresh new manzai-combi containing the rich ingredients that bring out Canadian & Japanese flavour. Toronto Bozu brings together the Akhil, Yuho, and the latest Japanese o-warai.

8:00-8:15 Kohei Sakamoto
“Hi, I’m Kohei Sakamoto. I’m a Japanese university student in Japan. I came here to study English and do something awesome that can’t be done in Japan.
I started playing a piano at the age of nine. However, my piano skill is awful.lol
So, from Artist’s Night, I’ll change it to awesome:D
Please sing with me:)

8:15-8:45 Naoko & Kevin
Classically trained Marimba & Piano pros get loose with a jam that would shatter Grandma’s jar.

8:45-9:00 Break
Time to take it easy, get some water, meet the artists

9:00-9:45 Asiansploitation
Asiansploitation is Toronto’s Just for Laughs Award-Winning ‘Sketch Comedy troupe to watch’ (Toronto Star); Fringe Fest 2010 Patron’s Pick, and have been spinning comedy gold since they formed in 2006. They are working on an all-new show which will be at The George Ignatieff Theatre at U of T on June 6, 7, 8, 9 and would like to invite JAVA and friends to see them in action.

For Artist’s Night, they’d like to welcome 5 of their 7 members to the stage: Gene Abella, James Cheng, Andrea James Lui, Franco Nguyen, and Jeff Santos.

9:45-10:00 Robert Paul Weston
Robert Paul Weston is the award-winning children’s author of Zorgamazoo, recently optioned for film by the producer of Shrek. His second novel, Dust City, was shortlisted for the 2011 Edgar Alan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America. For Artist’s Night, he will be reading from his award-winning novel-in-verse, Zorgamazoo, recently optioned for film by the producers of Shrek.

10:00-10:45 After Hours
Fresh off of their hit performance at JapanAid’s Iro! After Hours is and always has been about the tradition of street-corner singing. You can call it a cappella, you can call it “doo-wop” but it’s always been about taking the songs that they love, finding the songs’ inner harmonies and re-interpreting the music with only their voices.



JAVA would like to thank the JCSA at U of T and all the artists who have ever played at JAVA Pub Night for making this event possible.
