Festival and ceremony
The 15th Canadian Comedy Awards (CCA) was held in Ottawa, Ontario. Hamilton and Niagara Falls, Ontario, had also been approached to host the awards if they would become home to a new Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame, but the cities declined.
The awards ceremony was hosted by Tom Green and held on 14September at the Ottawa Little Theatre at the conclusion of the Canadian Comedy Awards Festival, which ran from 10 to 14 September. The festival included comedy showcases by many of the nominees at venues including the Ottawa Little Theatre, Yuk Yuk's, and Absolute Comedy. School groups were invited to daytime workshops at the Market Media Mall in ByWard Market, which had interactive exhibits including a standup comedy stage and the television set from The Great White North of SCTV.
We had an awesome evening last night with the Comedy Department. It was a special Halloween themed night watching improvised performances by seasoned comedians. Plus they handed out candy to their SOLD-OUT audience.
These THEATRE SPORTS & SECOND CITY alumni know that the revival of live Comedy is more welcome than ever before. Making people laugh is a full-time job for them. But it doesn’t come across as a job – as they seem to really enjoy what they do while interacting with the audience.
And they do this in another Vancouver little hidden gem of a night club. Located in an entryway corner of the Park Pub on Davie Street by gorgeous English Bay in the West End. I had no idea it was there since theyve only been in this location since May. Sidenote: the menu is very good too which is a big plus.
These days you’d have to live in a cave to not be aware of all the tremendous chaos that’s going on in the outside world so if we can fill a few hours with laughter and connection it makes our little world a whole lot better.
The Comedy Department has quickly become the new standard of professional comedy in Vancouver at The Show Cellar with hilarious weekly shows from start to finish. Audiences have come to expect non-stop, fast-paced hilarity and unexpected twists based on audience suggestions, and a uniquely interactive experience that continually receives 5-star reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.
