Catch Buffet Insanity at Grindstone | Wednesday
Metro Cinema and Grindstone Theatre present Buffet Insanity with a live Q&A with director Simon Glassman and the cast following the film.
Simon Glassman’s brilliantly absurdist comedy/horror film follows an unnamed viewer channel-surfing local TV stations in a small Alberta town where a sinister, sentient buffet restaurant is taking over. Yes, you read that correctly.
FREE Late Night Open Mic at Grindstone Comedy Night | Wednesday
Every week Wednesday at 10PM The Grindstone hosts one of Edmonton's only Stand-Up Comedy Open Mics to give first timers a chance to take a huge risk, and pros a chance to work on new material. Each set is 5 minutes, with a light at 4 minutes.

Pay What You Can at Rapid Fire Theatre | Thursday

Along the way, participants will uncover the stories, traditions, and cultural significance behind each stop, creating a memorable experience that blends local history with unforgettable flavours.
POP UP: Jamaican Chef’s Table | Friday
Chef Rama and Chef Housarde present a curated four-course culinary journey celebrating the vibrant flavours and traditions of Jamaica. Inspired by the warmth of the Caribbean and the abundance of fresh tropical ingredients, the menu reimagines classic Jamaican dishes with a contemporary approach.
Opening Reception of Passing Through by Jason Purcell | Friday
Through conversations and collaborations with artist Kyle Terrence, Jason Purcell recasts the archetypes of Western masculinity: the queer kid uncertain of what to do with it, and the man who wears it as a costume. Passing Through evokes the transitory space of the motel, the movement of needle and thread through material, and for the queer Albertan of a certain age, the practice of eliding accusations of queerness. Maybe, after the lights go out and the sun sets, after the last car exits the lot and the lock is turned on the motel room door, another Alberta comes to exist that only we know how to make home in.
