THE COMEDY DEPARTMENT’S TOURING AND LOCAL SHOWS LIGHT UP NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER
LAUGHTER IS THE PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT!

Through November and December, The Comedy Department continues to bring laughs across the Lower Mainland with two touring productions and holiday shows at their resident venue, The Show Cellar, in Vancouver.

Middle-Aged Boy Band is the comeback tour you didn’t know you needed. After a smash success SOLD OUT show in Port Moody, there are just two opportunities to catch this hilarious boy-band music parody this year. On November 9th, Chilliwack residents can see the show at The Hub International Theatre Chilliwack Cultural Centre and on November 23rd, the show comes to Chief Sepass Theatre in Langley.

David Milchard, co-founder of The Comedy Department, added, “I can’t wait to bring Middle-Aged Boy Band to Chilliwack and Langley. This show is ridiculously fun to do and the vibe at our last show was crazy good.”

Campbell River get ready for the Improv Comedy Rumble on November 15 at Tidemark Theatre. Brace yourselves for an unforgettable night where quick wit and razor-sharp humour collide head-on in a no-holds-barred battle for comedic supremacy. It’s not just a comedy show; it’s an improv throwdown of epic proportions, where only the funniest survive and the laugh-out-loud champions emerge!

The Evergreen Cultural Centre in Port Coquitlam hosts A Very Special Holiday Comedy Variety Show on November 28 and 29. Grab a mug of spiced eggnog and sit back as they spontaneously create an old-fashioned classic holiday special. This festive event features a delightful mix of improv, surprising guests, live music, and plenty of laugh out loud comedy to keep you giggling all night long.

“During the holidays, people want to get into the spirit and one of the best ways is through big laughs,” says Comedy Department co-owner, Denise Jones. “We’re bringing a fun, comedic twist on the more traditional offerings this time of year with some of the best improvisers in Canada for this one-of-a-kind Variety Show.”

December brings holiday fun to The Show Cellar where Vancouver audiences can experience a crowd favourite, Holiday Comedy Rumble. On December 7, 14 and 21 there are two shows at 7:30pm and 9:30pm celebrating all things funny and festive. Enjoy festive drinks and a full dining menu during the show as the stage is set for a comedy rumble like no other. It's the perfect way to unwind with friends and family this holiday season. The Show Cellar is located at 1755 Davie Street in Vancouver. For show information and tickets visit The Comedy Department website. 

But wait! That's not all! Why wait for December 31st to ring in the New Year?! You can count down to a fake midnight and usher in 2024 early with some of the best comedy in Vancouver. The Comedy Department presents Year End Update. Don't miss out on this hilarious trip down memory lane with shows on December 27th and 28th at 7:30pm and 9:30pm.

"2024 continued to be a year like no other and we can’t wait to celebrate and wrap it up with lots of laughter,” said Milchard. "If you thought our 2023 year end was over the top, wait till you see what we highlight for 2024." 

In addition to their performances, The Comedy Department is busy with calls for custom comedy shows tailored for corporate holiday parties. These shows are designed to provide a unique and engaging entertainment experience, perfect for connecting and celebrating the holiday season.
