Best Comedy & Stand-up in October 2024

Whose Live Anyway? at NAC Southam Hall

Whose Live Anyway?

Whose Live Anyway (originally called A Night of Improv) first appeared in 1999 when it sold out two shows in under three hours to very enthusiastic crowds in Vancouver. Following its initial success, Whose Line Executive Producer and star Ryan Stiles expanded the number of appearances of the show to include many major cities in the Western USA and Canada where it has remained a constant sell-out.

Bassem Youssef at Algonquin College Commons Theatre

Bassem Youssef

Bassem Youssef has earned his rightful place in the international comedic scene. Hailing from Egypt, the star held one of the most popular seats on TV with his wildly successful Al-Berameg. Known for his controversial political satire, Bassem Youssef built a growing fan base from Egypt to the Middle East to the rest of the world. Don't miss your chance to see him live on stage!

The Debaters at Centrepointe Theatre

The Debaters

Darth Vader was a bad father. William Shatner is Canada's greatest actor. These are among the many hot button topics which have been discussed on The Debaters over the years, and the resulting discussion is never less than hilarious. The Debaters pits two comedians against each other as they each take the opposing side of an argument. The winner is decided by the audience, with whoever gets the most applause at the end of the show being declared the victor! Presiding over proceedings is the award-winning comic Steve Patterson.
