Crazy bomber Spud went legit for 5 minutes with his show titled, ‘Tag, You’re It’ at the Baitshop in Toronto.

Spud’s work is already prominent on the [streets of Toronto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whataburger-museum-of-art), but this show with Spazz takes his work to another level, while keeping it real.

One of the most endearing parts of Spud’s ‘Tag, You’re It’ show with Spazz is his price list which is pasted to the top of a [Pizza Pizza box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics). If that isn’t low brow, I don’t know what is!

The show opened to a [packed house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-competition) with both Spazz and Spud in attendance.
