Laughter is the love language at Valentine's comedy shows in Vancouver
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Humour just may be the best way to someone’s heart, and if you’re looking for laughs this February, the Improv Centre on Granville Island has just the series of shows for you.
The improv theatre company’s Love Month is a celebration of everything funny and heartfelt throughout February.
Whether youāre flying solo, in a dynamic duo, throupled, or none of the above, youāll enjoy the comediansā exploration of the ups and downs of relationships and singlehood.
“I think that there’s something really special about laughing with someone you care about,” said Jalen Saip, artistic director of the Improv Centre. “What a great way to learn about your date’s sense of humour.
“Whether you’re single, not single, or wading through the complicated mess that daring can be, we have content that all audience members can relate to.”
Some of the highlights of Love Month at TIC include the femme-focused Galentineās Day on February 13, Kiss and Tell Valentine’s special on February 14, and Happy Un-Valentineās Day for all those ready to poke fun at romance on February 15.
There is also the weekly Date Night event on Wednesdays, and Single, Not Single each Friday and Saturday night. No matter which show you choose from, you’re sure to be impressed by the quick wit of the comedians onstage.
“Love is an experience that we can all relate to,” added Saip. “Whether it’s romantic or not, we know what it is to be loved, love or want to be loved. There is a lot of comedy in relatable stories and audiences love to see their own experiences mirrored onstage.
“We even had a proposal at the theatre this last year where the couple ended up both proposing to each other while volunteering for one of our improv games! It was very exciting for all of us on stage and the entire audience.”

Thursday Presents: Friday Jr., the Unnamed Sketch Show, and Ladies Against Humanity.
