When: April 26 from 7 to 8 pm
Admission: Free. Read event guidelines for wristband details and rules.

What: It’s thrilling, it’s risqué, it’s maybe just a little bit spooky – like Edgar Allan Poe juggling knives in leather pants and a raven feather boa – it’s The Fringe Cabaret: After Dark! As the lights go out and the clock winds toward the witching hour, audiences should prepare for acts ranging from ludicrous to spine tingling, from tantalizing to potentially baroque, and from the mildly funny to the utterly droll.
Where: Studio 1398 – 1398 Cartwright Street, Vancouver
When: April 22 at 10 pm
Tickets: Online, $16.50

What: Original, hilarious, knee-slapping sketch comedy with twists on Vancouver’s pop culture, and musical and magical interludes along the way. All net proceeds from the show go to the Alzheimer Society of BC.
Where: PAL Studio Theatre – 581 Cardero Street, Vancouver
When: April 27 at 8 pm
Tickets: Online, $25 plus service fees
