Grapes of Laugh Fundraiser & TheatreSports Giveaway

Comments 49 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Vancouver TheatreSports League presents the 5th annual Grapes of Laugh fundraiser tomorrow night. The event will involve tastings of some of New Zealand’s finest wines, silent auctions, live auctions, and improv performances by the Vancouver TheatreSports players.

The fundraising aspect supports community and youth programs year-round. From the organizers:

“Each year, we send performers to Children’s Hospital to provide comedy improv shows to those kids and their families who do not have the luxury of seeing our work at our theatre. VTSL Community Outreach also includes our Youth Programs (Teen Improv Camps and providing complimentary tickets to organizations such as Big Sisters, Big Brothers, Kids Upfront, and other Kids-At-Risk programs), as well as performing for over 30,000 school children across British Columbia each year.”

Tickets are still available for $65 and the event will be hosted by CBC’s Fred Lee.

I have always wanted to catch a TheatreSports event so I’m very pleased to partner with them to give away five pairs of tickets to an upcoming performance night. The group has nightly themes such as “rookie night”, “improv musical”, and “late night mixer”. You can view a full monthly schedule of VTSL events online.

Laughter has such power to connect, cross language barriers, and even to heal. To enter to win one of these pairs of tickets to Vancouver TheatreSports, please leave a comment on this post with your best joke (try to keep it as clean as possible, if you can). It can be an ‘oldie but a goodie’, knock-knock style, from a movie, or something your 3-year old invented.

I will draw five winners (who will each get a pair of tickets) on Wednesday November 10th at 12:00pm. Follow @VanTheatreSports on Twitter for their latest news and updates.

Update The five pass winners are: Marina, Chris, Greg, Stephen and Liz. Have a fantastic laugh-filled time at Vancouver Theatre Sports!

    Two jokes for the price of one (which is still free):

    1. Statistics lie 120% of the time.

    2. It’s a sad day when our politicians are comical and we have to take our comedians seriously.

    A couple of Chilliwack hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

    The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

    The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“

    So, a neutron walked into a bar and said “I’d like a beer, please.”
    After the bartender gave him one, he said “How much will that be?”
    “For you?” said the bartender “No charge.”

    A young Swedish woman, old Dutch woman, an Englishman, and an Irishman are riding a train…

    The train goes through a tunnel and it becomes pitch black in the car, a loud SMACK is heard… the train emerges from the tunnel and the Englishman is rubbing his cheek.

    The Swedish girl thinks “I bet he tried to grope me and accidentally got the old woman and she slapped him…”

    The Dutch woman thinks “He must have groped the Swedish girl and she slapped him…”

    The Englishman thinks “The Irishman must have groped the Swedish girl and she accidentally slapped me…”

    And the Irishman thinks “I can’t wait for another tunnel so I can smack that English guy again.”

    A man is in his house.
    It’s late at night.
    There’s a knock at the door.
    It’s a snail.
    The snail says, “I’d like to talk to you about buying magazine subscriptions.”
    The man is furious he’s been interrupted.
    He rears back, kicks the snail as hard as he can.
    Slams the door and goes back to bed.
    Two years later he’s getting ready for bed and there’s a knock at the door.
    He answers it.
    The snail goes “What the HECK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?”

    Two women friends had gone for a girl’s night out; both were very faithful and loving wives…however, they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers.

    Incredibly drunk & walking home they needed to pee, so they stopped in the cemetery. One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take off her panties and use them. Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive pair of panties and did not want to ruin them, but was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she proceeded to wipe with that. After the girls did their business, they proceeded to go home.

    The next day one of the women’s husbands was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said, “These girl’s nights have got to stop! I’m starting to suspect the worst…my wife came home with no panties!”

    “That’s nothing,” said the other husband, “Mine came back with a card stuck between the crack of her bum that said, ‘From all of us at the Fire Station. We’ll never forget you.'”

    There were five people on a plain, the pilot, a priest, a lawyer, a doctor and a little boy. The engines starts to have trouble and the pilot says, “we are going down boys” takes one of the 4 parachutes and jumps, the rest look at each other and the doctor says, “I have many lives to save besides my own” and jumps…the lawyer says, “well I am one of the smartest men in the world” so he grabs a pack and jumps….the priest looks at the little boy and says, “my son I have lived a long life you save yourself” and the little boy says “that’s okay the smartest man in the world grabbed my back pack.”
