Chris Hadfield's Generator 2020

Comedy. Music. Science. Fun. Probably the best thing to happen to a Canadian winter since they invented the crazy carpet. Generator remains the only show in Toronto where you can find robotic exoskeletons, stand up comedians, cyborgs, wunderkind, astronauts, musicians, celebrities, and spoken word artists seamlessly blended onto the same stage. It's unique. Let's face it, it's weird. But we love it, the audience loves it, and we can't wait to show you what we have in store this year.
