What's On

Ali Hassan’s career plans started off as simply as anyone’s: become a chef, get a food show on television, get a second food show on television, be the face of the network and have oven mitts with his face on them. But sometimes things get in the way of your dreams: like your parents’ disappointment, your family of four children and your successful comedy career.  
 
This show is a hilarious exposition of Ali’s journey in and out of the culinary world in which he spent 12 years. Think Eat, Pray, Love....minus the Prayer. 
 
Ali recently performed as part of NPR’s The Moth storytelling series in Cincinnati, Chicago and Toronto.  His comedic memoir ‘Is There Bacon in Heaven?’ was released with Simon & Schuster and described by Rick Mercer as “perhaps the funniest and most heartfelt Canadian memoir yet.”  www.standupali.com
