There is some serious talent coming to Vancouver this month, including Canadian icon Rick Mercer, Gayle star Chris Fleming, and Juno Award winner Sophie Buddle.
Penn & Teller: Fool Us and America’s Got Talent alum Piff the Magic Dragon and Two Dykes and a Mic podcast hosts McKenzie Goodwin and Rachel Scanlon will also be performing at Vancouver Is Funny.
Comedy fans can catch all the action at several stages across the city, including MRG’s own Vogue Theatre, Biltmore Cabaret, slate. Event Space, and select independent venues. And if you’re looking for some more fun, slate. is transforming into a pop-up comedy club for the entire month.
