We’ve all heard that age-old addage: Those who can’t do, teach (and those who can’t teach, teach gym). Below you’ll find this week’s selection of affordable performance endeavours, each featuring an element of learning.

The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival is happening right now and has some very impressive talent.
