Festival

Comedy superstars Kevin Hart and Russell Peters are coming to town to close out GOCF’s cross-country 2023 Canadian summer tour and headline Vancouver’s inaugural stop on the festival. They will be joined by former The Late Late Show bandleader Reggie Watts, known for his musical comedy stylings and beatboxing skills.

Attendees can choose between VIP reserved tickets to see their favourite comedians up close with table service and other festival perks or general admission tickets available with first-come, first-served grass seating behind the VIP area.

Location

The festival grounds and stage come to the great outdoors of Brockton Point, the picturesque northeast point of Stanley Park. Stroll the Seawall on your way to the event for scenic views and some of the city’s best photo ops, or visit the collection of hand-carved totem poles and Coast Salish cedar gateways.
