Vancouver's Home for World Class comedy

We make comedy for people who are over the usual and hungry for something genuinely fun. Whether you’re showing up for a Saturday night, booking a custom show, or bringing us into your workplace, you’re in for a five-star ride.

Our team? Comedy pros with decades of stage time, touring cred, and the hardware to prove it. We believe in the power of shared laughter to shake things loose and bring people together-and we bring it, every time.

From weekly improv shows in Vancouver’s West End to custom events and corporate gigs, we don’t just do comedy – we live it. If you’re craving something smart, bold, and unexpectedly hilarious, welcome to The Comedy Department.

Every Saturday, we bring the funny to Vancouver’s West End at The Show Cellar-our hidden gem with speakeasy vibes and tasty bevvies and eats. It’s the kind of night you didn’t know you needed until you’re laughing with total strangers like they’re old friends.

No two shows are the same, but every one is stacked with top-tier improv, unexpected moments, and a full dose of five-star fun. These aren’t your typical comedy nights-they’re fast, loose, and unforgettable.

Grab your pals, grab a drink, and get ready to laugh so hard you’ll forget what day it is.

Corporate party? Birthday bash? Secret society initiation? Whatever you’re planning, we’ll build a custom comedy show that hits the mark and leaves your crowd raving.

We don’t do cookie-cutter, we do comedy made to order, built around your people, your vibe, and your event. From office legends to inside jokes, we bring it all to life with professional improv that’s smart, sharp, and wildly fun.

You bring the guests, we’ll bring the laughs. Let’s make you look like a genius

So whether you’re looking for a night of laughs with friends or planning an unforgettable event, The Comedy Department brings the laughs that bring people together.

See you at the show!
