"Vancouver’s Most Innovative Comedy / Variety Show" is back with a Halloween special! Join us as we celebrate the greatest holiday ever with lots of laughs, audience surprises and wild entertainment. Featuring...

🕷️ PRE-TEEN ROCK BAND: BLUE JAY VALLEY!
A group of 9 to 12 year olds from East Van who rock hard! With influences ranging from the Hives, gob, Weezer, Green Day, Sloan, Beastie Boys, KISS, AC/DC, Vicious Cycles, and the Ramones.

🕷️ FROM GUTTER CLOWN CABARET: PRISCILLA COSTA!
Internationally trained in clown, bouffon, sketch comedy and improv, Priscilla turns a life of hard knocks into absurd and delightful clown theatre!

🕷️ SPIDER RACES! Paul & Ryan will both bring a spider they caught in their house and we will race them on an elaborate homemade track designed and built by Ace Marten's! Prizes for the winners!

🕷️ GIANT AUDIENCE OUIJA BOARD! We are building a massive planchette piece to place in the middle of the audience so everyone can be in contact with it. We ask questions of the spirits and as a group we all receive the answers.
🕷️ 12 YEAR OLD HORROR ARTIST ATTICUS STRANGE!!
You can see and purchase his cool horror zines!

🕷️ INCREDIBLE DIY SYNTHPOP: DEVOURS!
Across five acclaimed underground albums, Devours (Jeff Cancade) has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity, body image, gay politics, and inner-city queer existence. Maybe you've seen them on VICE or at SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Sled Island, JunoFest, Vancouver Jazz Fest?? Maybe you've never seen them and you are about to hear your fave new artist? I think they are one of the most exciting musical acts in the country!!

🕷️ House band!
