OUTREACH & MENTORSHIPS

As a community-run space, Little Mountain Gallery aims to foster diverse and emerging local talent in Vancouver’s comedy community.

We are committed to creating an equitable, inclusive, and supportive space for community members.

We understand that this is an ongoing process of learning and dialogue. As we deepen our understanding of equity, diversity and inclusion, these commitments and initiatives will continue to evolve.

We welcome and encourage community feedback and accountability.

Little Mountain Gallery operates on the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

We are committed to increasing the number of, and creatively supporting, Indigenous performers in the comedy community as a response to the call to action outlined in the Calls for Justice, section 6.1.

Currently, Little Mountain Gallery offers several programs to help increase access to diverse performers and audiences at our venue.

STAND-UP COMEDY CLASSES

Little Mountain Gallery offers a limited amount of stand-up comedy classes each year.

These classes are offered at a subsidized cost by the venue, with fees paid directly to the instructor.

This program is led by established and accomplished comedians who will guide performers to develop their act over a period of several weeks.

This workshop takes place in a mix of in-person meeting sessions and live performances hosted at LMG.

PRODUCTION MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Little Mountain Gallery offers a limited amount of show slots to new and emerging comedy producers. These spots are offered free of charge and include assistance from Little Mountain Gallery in development, advertising and production.
