A
Vancouver Theatresports League
The city’s most popular improv group stages its energetic romps – sometimes connected to themes such as Shakespeare or Star Trek – at a swanky new venue a couple of blocks from its old site. The format remains the same, though: if you’re sitting near the front, expect to be picked on, unless you’re naked – they tend to leave you alone if you’re naked. The recommended 11:45pm Friday and Saturday shows are commendably ribald.

Urban Improv
The best place to tickle your funny bone in Kits, Chivana is a restaurant and lounge most of the week but a live improv comedy venue on Mondays. Expect to see many of the usual improv suspects who appear at Vancouver TheatreSports, plus a host of other well-oiled performers who know just how to spin an audience suggestion into a jaw-achingly funny good time.

Jupiter Café
Another lounge that likes to add a laughter track to tackle the Monday-night blues, the upstairs Jupiter Café offers a regular comedian-hosted improv night. Reflecting its neighborhood, expect plenty of naughty gay-themed jokes to keep the locals giggling. If you just don’t get it, drop by on Thursday instead when it’s live jazz night.

Balthazar’s House of Comedy
The West End’s favorite Tuscan-look lounge hosts a once-a-week stand-up show where you can expect to see a handful of local comics strutting their stuff while you sip on a round of cocktails that will make you laugh at anything. Students, whip out your ID at the door for half-price entry.
