Upcoming Event: Just For Laughs Vancouver, February 12 – 22, 2026

Let’s brighten those rainy February days! Just For Laughs Vancouver is back for its 10th year, and remains Western Canada’s biggest comedy festival. From February 12 to 22, some of the hottest names in the game will be hitting stages around town.

How hot? Try British favourite James Acaster, Atsuko Okatsuko – fresh off her new Disney+ special, FATHER, and the always hilarious Michelle Buteau! They’ll be joined by not one but two Saturday Night Live alum: Michael Longfellow and Emil Wakim, and Vancouver stand-up legend, Brent Butt. And don’t miss An Evening with Phil Rosenthal of “Somebody Feed Phil” at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre!

With almost 100 shows featuring 250+ performers in everything from theatres to intimate studios, stand-up sets to improv scenes, you can build the festival experience that suits you. Diversity is a big draw this year: in fact, Mexican stand-up Nacho Redondo will perform a Spanish-language show at The York Theatre. Other highlights include Dropout Improv, and variety artist Lucy Darling who is performing at The Vogue on Valentine’s Day.
