Little Weird Weekend is LMG’s annual festival of new, alternative, and experimental comedy. Each year, we put out an open call for show concepts that break away from traditional formats — inviting the comedy community to pitch ideas that are unusual, ambitious and unlike anything currently happening in Vancouver.
An adjudication committee made up of LMG staff, board members, and comedy community members will select up to twelve shows to be produced during the festival. Those selected producers receive a $400 honorarium, full venue support (tech, door, room rental covered), and keep 100% of their ticket sales.
The goal is simple: create brand-new alternative comedy formats that can develop into ongoing shows.
Three shows created for last year’s festival have since become monthly LMG staples with regular sold-out crowds:
