Renovations begin on future Old Strathcona comedy club

Laughter will fill the streets of Old Strathcona when its first comedy theatre, The Grindstone, opens next year.
Renovations began this week after Byron Martin finally received the keys to the venue at 81 Avenue and 100 Street. 
There was a high demand from artists to open up a comedy club in the area, said Martin, the artistic director. 
The schedule for the year is already full, with 12 shows running each week and more than 30 independent producers working on the performances.&n
