Classes run eight weeks at Little Mountain Gallery. Spots are limited and admission is by application.

This program is offered at cost as a community program, with priority given to applicants from equity-deserving communities, including but not limited to BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups in comedy. This is reflected in our application form.

Remaining spots, if available, are offered to other applicants. Applying early does not guarantee a spot. A waitlist will be maintained if demand exceeds capacity.

Workshop Comedy
Thursday, December 17 – 9:00pm

Not ready for a class?

You don't need to take a course to get started. Our open mic runs every week and anyone can sign up. It's also the cheapest way to see live comedy in the city and learn before going up.

Open Mic

Wednesdays, 9:30pm

The bucket goes out at 9:00pm for three minutes on stage. Free to perform, $10 to watch. Beginners and working pros.

How It Works

See a Show First

Most nights of the week

Stand-up, improv, sketch and more in Gastown. A good way to get a feel for the room before trying to go up.
