Laugh It Out at The Improv Centre

The Improv Centre has been voted the city's best comedy venue, which is easy to dismiss until you're in the room watching a cast turn an audience suggestion into something gloriously unrepeatable. Nothing is scripted, the crowd throws out prompts, and the show that results is one that literally cannot happen again. This is excellent news for a date. You laugh together, the awkward-silence problem simply never arrives, and you'll have built-in inside jokes by the time you reach the bar afterward. Shows run most nights in a waterfront setting on Granville Island, tickets won't rattle your bank account, and the specific recommendation is a TheatreSports night sitting close enough to risk getting called on. Go early. Sit near the front. Prepare accordingly.
