Théâtre Ste-Catherine

Montréal


From film to theater, stand-up comedy to music concerts, this venue presents a variety of shows: Oscar Wilde one night, burlesque dance the next. Its Sunday Night Improv (sketch and comedy) performances are quite popular with the city’s theatrical community; the Montréal Sketch Comedy Festival is in late May.
