Fun place for a comedy show! I like the layout of the seating here. It's a U shape around the stage…read moreso it's a good view. There's a bar upstairs and a bar downstairs so you can drink before or after your show. The bartender was great about coming around during the show to take drink orders too. Come early to pick a good seat.

This is quite an intimate room. The staff is friendly and the laughs are great. The only issue I…read morehave is I do think they have an air circulation issue in this basement kinda smells when you first enter the club. But I guess you get used to it because when the show starts and the host warms you up with a few laughs you kinda forget the smell and start to enjoy the drinks and atmosphere. Tonight there were I think 5 or 6 performers plus the host whom told some really good jokes. You're not allowed to film the performances as per custom so you really are present in the moment and talking to one of the comedians after he said this is a better room to perform in because comedians can read the crowd better and adjust their jokes accordingly. The bartender was friendly and attentive. For something different try coming to a show for a laugh.

Great friendly service.The show was hilarious. Took my teens for their 17th birthday and they loved…read moreit!

The Rio Theatre, located on Broadway at Commercial Drive (which is extremely transit convenient),…read moreis a fixture of the Commercial Drive neighbourhood. I don't know the entire history of the theatre, but apparently it was built in 1938. The Rio is known for screening cult classic movies and live shows, and in 2012, it fought the outdated BC Liquor board so that movie theatres could serve alcohol -- a big win! In the past, I have gone to a handful of shows (mostly movies showing at the Vancouver International Film Festival), but I didn't go often for two reasons: many of the movies I was interested in started way too late for me (such as at 9:30pm or 11pm), and years ago, I had a really negative experience. I don't recall when the incident happened -- perhaps it was after they had acquired a liquor licence -- but you had to be 19+ to go (that's the legal drinking age here), and while I was much older than 19, apparently I looked young, so I used to get so much shit for my appearance. Shortly before the event, my ID had expired and I was waiting for a new one to come in the mail. In the meantime, I was using my passport as ID. The person at the door was extremely rude and aggressive and made a big deal of specifically asking ME for ID -- from his tone, I think he didn't expect me to be of age. I pulled out my wallet from my purse to grab my ID, then remembered that I didn't have it as it was being renewed, so put it back into my purse and reached for my passport. As I was reaching for my passport, the rude and aggressive employee sneered, "Oh, you forgot your ID, I see, huh?" Yes, even thought this was nearly 15 years ago, I still remember this incident, and it always upset me. The guy was so fucking rude. Also, they used to insist on stamping your hand, and I hate having the inside of my wrist stamped because the ink rubs off on the side of my shirt, so prefer to have the top of my hand stamped. This guy was also rude about this. Anyway, due to events not working with my schedule and my encounter with the rude employee, I had little interest in going to the Rio unless it was for the film festival. However, recently, there have been several events I have been interested in: a screening of The Shawshank Redemption with a Q&A with Gil Bellows in July; a screening of The Room presented by Greg Sestero in August; a screening of Clue in October; a screening of the original Carrie presented by Mike Flanagan in October; and a film festival movie in October. And each time I had a great experience -- no more rude and aggressive employees! The most recent event I went to was John Waters live on December 3. My husband is a huge John Waters fan, so I bought tickets for his show. However, I had only bought the regular tickets, and my husband then told me he would have liked the VIP tickets (better seats, a signed poster, a post-show Q&A). On the Rio website, they clearly state that all sales are final and that tickets cannot be returned or exchanged. So what did I do? Emailed them asking if I could exchange the regular tickets for the more expensive VIP tickets, despite their policy. Their answer was an enthusiastic "absolutely!" and it was easy to exchange the tickets. Amazing customer service! I am a fan of the Rio and I look forward to seeing more shows and events!

5 stars for this show! Visiting Fort Langley last night and…read morewhat a treat. There aren't enough good shows coming out to the valley. How amazing is it to see a great show in your neighborhood and not have to drive over an hour to get home. This team is tight and the scores that the audience gave them are a great indicator of the level of entertainment and talent. Langley is progressive in having some good restaurants in the community so why not entertainment outside of the movie theater. Langley is a great place to live and even better with this group who said they were committed to coming back! Yay! Thanks for the great evening
