The Comedy Department brings weekly improv comedy shows to Downtown Vancouver with this speakeasy style cabaret in the West End.
Speakeasy Comedy in Downtown Vancouver
After decades of experience doing live improv comedy shows, performing alongside comedy giants like Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles, Denise Jones and David Milchard realized they wanted to make comedy their full-time job and started The Comedy Department.
Hilarious and captivation magic, drag, and comedy shows in Vancouver.
Audiences can sit back, relax and delight in the unique venue The Comedy Department calls home, The Show Cellar (at 1755 Davie Street near Denman) in English Bay.
Offering full food and beverage service during the show, this red table-clothed cabaret showroom creates a cool, speakeasy vibe and gives audiences a more personal and engaging evening than some of the bigger spaces in the city.

The Importance of Housing
The connection between housing and a person’s health is incredibly strong: you simply cannot have good health without a home. Housing is so much more than having a roof over one’s head: it represents stability, safety, comfort, and hope.
The Housing Affordability Crisis
In recent years, the dream of finding a safe and affordable place to call home has become increasingly elusive for many young people in our community. Housing affordability has reached an all-time low, with rental prices soaring to unprecedented heights. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development now ranks Canada as having the most expensive housing market among all other G7 countries. Metro Vancouver has witnessed a surge in competition for rental units, leaving countless young individuals struggling to secure a stable living environment.
