Laugh It Out at Hecklers

Touring stand-ups every weekend, fifty wing flavours, and enough shared laughter to make date-night chemistry look effortless, in Victoria's longtime comedy bar.

The date

Hecklers has been Vancouver Island's comedy headquarters long enough to earn the title, a no-frills bar-and-grill on Gorge Road that books touring stand-ups every weekend and pairs them with fifty flavours of wings. Shared laughter is famously good for chemistry, so book the Saturday headliner, split an unreasonable plate of wings, and skip the front row unless you fancy becoming part of the set.

How to do it

Book ahead for the Saturday headliner at the Island's go-to stand-up room, split an absurd plate of wings (there are fifty flavours), and let a touring pro carry the show, about two hours of the easiest chemistry there is. Shared laughter does the heavy lifting and hands you a hundred things to riff on after. Just maybe skip the front row, unless you'd like to become part of the act.
