I'VE NEVER SEEN LIVE COMEDY BEFORE? WHAT ARE THE RULES?
#1: PLEASE: No chit chatting or "witty banter" during the performances. The people around you paid to see the comedian perform - please be courteous and refrain from being a distraction to those around you. Think of the venue as a movie theatre, ambient talking makes it very difficult to focus on the performance.
#2 ABSOLUTELY No heckling or calling out during a performance. If a performer directly engages you, it is ok to respond. Just know when the moment has passed and the comedian wants to move on with their performance. They'll probably let you know :) You will be asked to leave the venue without refund if this is an ongoing issue.
#3 If you're asked by staff to stop doing #1 or #2, don't be a dink about it. Just stop. We get it, you're excited, we're all excited. "You're just having fun!" But please - trust us that we do not want to poop on your party or rain on your parade.... we TOTALLY want you to have ALL the fun! But sometimes when we're having fun we can get caught up in the excitement, and after a few drinks we may unknowingly and unintentionally be an intrusion on the performance or our other guests. So, please, be humble if approached by our floor staff - they're just doing their job and trying to make the show an enjoyable experience for everyone who paid to be here.
ALSO: Please kindly read our full list of House Rules to avoid being a jerk in other ways. Click here: HOUSE RULES
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?
We suggest getting here as early as possible after the doors open for your selected showtime for a few reasons: You'll get the best table/seating selections, you can settle in with some dinner & drinks before the show, and you can enjoy our Happy Hour deals for a bit longer. It's hard to make the haha's when your mouth is full of supper :)
WHAT IF I WANT TO ADD ANOTHER PERSON / PEOPLE TO MY TABLE?
If possible, purchase the additional tickets under the same name as the original party. If the event is sold out online, or if purchasing under the same name is not possible, please text us at 778.848.7666 and let us know your situation, and we will do our best to accommodate.
WHAT IF MY FRIENDS AND I BOUGHT SEPARATE TICKETS AND WANT TO SIT TOGETHER?
Please text us at 778.848.7666 and let us know your situation, and we will do our best to accommodate. The earlier you let us know, the better the odds are that we can fandangle something for you! Please do not wait until the day of the event to organize a mixed table - last minute changes may not be possible if the event is sold out or very busy.
HOW'S THE FOOD?
It's REALLY yummy, made with love, and we're always coming out with new dishes & specials. We have lots of vegan, gluten friendly and vegetarian options. As well as lots of burgers, sandwiches, fried chicken, burritos, quesadillas, nachos and lot of snacks & salads.

CAN I ARRIVE AFTER THE SHOW BEGINS?
It depends. If a portion of your table has arrived by showtime, then yes. However, if your entire table has not arrived by showtime, we will consider your party a no-show. Please ensure your party arrives well before showtime or you may lose your reserved seats/table to the wait list if you arrive more than 5 minutes late.
IS THERE A MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIREMENT?
Yes there is. Our business does not make enough money to keep our doors open on ticket sales alone. The ticket sales mostly go towards paying our talent and event support staff. The food and beverage sales keep our service staff paid & our lights on. We make a solid effort to provide you with many price points and dietary options so that everyone can partake in our food service, and choose items that fit their budget and dietary restrictions. There is a one item (food/drink) minimum purchase policy on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. There is a two item policy on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT?
All minors (under 19 years of age) must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Our shows are suggested for ages 16 and above as there are curse words, sexual content and jokes can be VERY explicit.
IS THE VENUE EASY TO GET TO? ARE YOU CLOSE TO SKYTRAIN? PARKING?
We are just a short walk (2 minutes) from Stadium-Chinatown Skytrain, between Beatty & Abbott on West Pender Street.
We are along a major bus route as well (WB Bus Stop 50093, EB Bus Stop 58529).
WE ARE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE WITH A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BATHROOM.
AT THIS TIME OUR STAGE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE BY WHEELCHAIR, BUT WE HOPE IN THE FUTURE IT WILL BE.
There is plenty of cheap meter parking nearby on Pender and Abbott, and EasyPark parking lots at 99 W Pender & 150 W Pender just a hundred meters away. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN YOUR VEHICLE.
