About Kickdoor Comedy
Comedy belongs in every neighbourhood.
Kickdoor Comedy brings thoughtfully curated live comedy outside traditional clubs and into the independent spaces that give our city its character.
We create intimate shows, pay the comedians who make them possible, and give audiences a new way to explore the city—one great night at a time.
How it started
A better night out—and a better way to build a show.
Kickdoor began with a simple belief: Vancouver has incredible comedians and countless spaces that could become unforgettable comedy rooms.
Great live comedy should not be limited to a handful of traditional venues. A brewery, gallery, café, studio, rooftop, or living room can become the setting for the kind of show people talk about long after the last joke.
So we built Kickdoor to connect those pieces. We find interesting neighbourhood spaces, bring together standout local performers, and carefully shape each lineup so the full show feels like more than a collection of individual sets.
The people on stage matter
We are proud to compensate our comedians.
Comedy is creative work. The performers on our stages bring years of writing, practice, travel, risk, and lived experience into every set. We believe that contribution deserves to be recognized and paid.
Compensating comedians is not an extra feature of a Kickdoor show. It is part of how we produce responsibly, build lasting relationships with performers, and create better experiences for audiences.
What guides us
Good rooms. Great comics. High vibes.
Curated, not crowded
We handpick local comedians with complementary voices and styles so every lineup works as a complete show.
Outside the usual places
We turn independent neighbourhood spaces into welcoming, intimate comedy rooms.
Respect for the craft
We value the work behind every performance and are proud to compensate the comedians on our shows.
Everyone should enjoy the night
From the lineup to the room, we produce shows that feel thoughtful, welcoming, and worth leaving the house for.
The city is our comedy club
Every show is a reason to go somewhere new.
Kickdoor connects audiences with local performers and the places that make Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Port Moody feel distinct. Some shows may have a secret location or lineup. Others put the venue and performers front and centre.
What they share is a commitment to a great room, a carefully built lineup, and a night that feels connected to its neighbourhood.
