Dust off your magnifying glass and gumshoe, make sure your wits are about you so you can solve the murder mystery – and avoid falling victim yourself. The culprit, or culprits, will be gracious enough to wait until you’ve digested the main course, making their presence known during dessert. If you manage to crack the case before your fellow diners, you could win a prize. Matinee shows are also available if you prefer your murder mystery before dark.

388 King St W, Toronto ON M5V 2G3

You’re probably most familiar with Second City as the comedy club that launched the careers of John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Dan Aykroyd, but it’s also developed a reputation as one of the best dinner theatres in the GTA. Unlike other venues, Second City offers the option of a show with either lunch or dinner at Wayne Gretzky’s Toronto restaurant, giving you twice as many chances to be entertained. Arrive hungry and with an open mind.

The actors are developmentally challenged and there’s a good chance you’ll be able to meet them during the after-theatre coffee.
