They reduced the size of the seats and the space between the rows of seating. I'm 5'6" and it is uncomfortable to sit through a 1 hour 30 min standup. If you're not sitting at the end you are likely going to bruise your shins walking through. Good luck trying to let someone pass without leaving the row. People have fallen flat on their faces trying to get out. It seems like a safety issue. As it's an older theatre, the floor is pretty flat. Not tiered like newer movie theatres. Recently went to a show where they posted no photos of the show were allowed. The security guards paced through the middle aisle throughout the show. It was pretty distracting. During concerts they remove about half the rows for standing room. Oftentimes though the balcony is closed off. Washrooms are on the second floor. Only 3 stalls in the women's washroom as one is forever out of order.

The Fox is located in Mount Pleasant on Main St. near 7th ave, in an old movie theater. The projection room has been transformed into the dance floor! It's a long and narrow building with two levels. Upstairs you will find a balcony with a great view of all the party goers below, a second bar and some cosy spots to get your chill on. Next door is another smaller room called the Cabaret room, and of course the main room downstairs, The Projection room. The Projection room has tables and bench seating which is great, because I often want to sit, drink and people watch, as well as a large bar, and small dance floor. Overall it is a more intimate venue and rather unique! I love that they maintained some of the Cinema decor and made it work as a bar/club. They have weekly events with live bands and performers, such as Wednesday night stand up comedy and Sunday night improve. Of course Thursday, Friday and Saturday's are your nights to shake your booty with different DJs or live bands. We visited for a friends birthday, and although I may have already had my fair share of drinks, I was quite pleased with a few factors with this venue. The first, we did not have to wait in line! It was a Saturday night at about 12:30. Super huge plus because I have little patience for line ups. Next, the cover was $12, which is probably pretty standard these days, but my opinion is there should be a live band or DJ to warrant that fee. The DJ was fantastic!!! Worth every penny. I had one drink and had to hit the floor! I don't know who he/she was but it was epic!! ‍ They have drink specials which are prepared by easygoing bartenders, but.....I am taking a star away for the fact that they only accept cash. There is a bank machine which charges you $3, plus your bank will charge on top of that. It's 2018, time to up your game with portable debit machines!! Honestly, they would only make more money and inconvenience patrons less. Also, the ladies bathroom was a bit on the small side.

The lineups they have playing here was impressive (world renowned to locals). The venue itself is old school and intimate. The Pitt on how its setup has at least one bar to one side, and another bar in the coat check in the "dress circle". From entering to taking fresh air breaks in-between sets, the "bouncer, security, door person" has always been super nice and chatty. They've always enforced and the patrons replying were always polite "sorry, thanks for telling me" when they've ducked ropes exiting. Washroom: Clean for theatre standards and stocked with paper towels. Compared to some airport loos, this is above average for the ladies side. Bar: Beers, wine, sodas (!!! sodas were under $4!!!) were mid priced. TIP: BRING CASH (there is an atm, I've used it once and lost a finger jk), bring better earplugs (home depot has some great ones).

we got tickets to the jesse cook show at the centre in vancouver on 777 homer street, which feels…read morepretty new and sleek. the moment we stepped inside, that curved marble staircase caught my eye, it was elegant and dramatic, with mirrored panels that bounced reflections around in such a cool way. the venue itself is small, it seats around 1800 people across three levels, with great acoustics and comfy purple chairs. during intermission, i was surprised to see there were no long lines at the washrooms, there were plenty of stalls, the concession stand was actually a lot longer. you can bring drinks into the auditorium, but note, there are no cup holders. jesse cook's performance gave off the gypsy kings energy, upbeat, rhythmic, and full of flamenco and andalusian flair. he's not only a talented guitarist but also a natural storyteller. between songs, he shared little anecdotes about how he met one of his bandmates or what inspired a particular piece of music. he was accompanied on stage with four other band members. there was lots of hand clapping along with the rhythm, and toward the end, he invited everyone to get up and samba. it gave the night this warm, easygoing energy.

I could've used a telescope! This was Bini's first big sold-out performance, and when I booked my ticket, I didn't realize how confusing the seating would be. Although I had a wonderful night, the height of the second and third floors wasn't ideal for those who want to be closer to the stage. By the time I bought my ticket, most of the seats were already gone, even though I booked as soon as they went on sale. Still, it was worth it!

For shows like stand up comedy the dancefloor is lined with seats. It's not too difficult to find parking nearby.

The performers were the best part. Super funny and quick on their feet, making stuff up on the spot that had us laughing the whole time. Good pick for families too. The content stayed pretty clean, nothing really inappropriate for a 12 year old, not that a typical 12 year old hasn't heard worse. They've got one intermission, free water, and a bar with snacks, popcorn, and drinks. The seats have cup holders so you can enjoy your tasty beverage while watching the show. Three people from the audience get picked to judge each scene from 1 to 5. They get chosen randomly before the show. Need to be at the tables at the front or in the first or second row to get picked, I think. Would totally recommend for a family outing especially if you have kids interested in comedy, high school drama class, SNL or similar. And Granville Island area is so nice to walk around it makes for a nice evening. Just keep in mind that the market closes at 7pm so arrive to island by at least 6:30pm to buy and eat your dinner, and then walk the 4 minutes to the Improv Centre. Or else skip dinner and eat Snickers bars and popcorn at the Improv Centre. Bought my tickets only the morning of the show. Easy to do.

Really the only difference I could tell is they added like a twist or extra rule (you can only use x number of words) to each game. I honestly preferred the regular theatre sports version as the extra added unnecessary confusion and I rather enjoyed watching the actors be creative vs. bending over backwards to adhere to a random rule. All in all, I had a great time and would definitely make an effort to come back whenever I'm in the area.

I came here specifically to catch Ryan Long, and he did not disappoint - he was super funny, and his set had the whole room losing it. Even the host was great, setting a high-energy, hilarious tone for the rest of the night. Just a heads-up that there is a two-item per person minimum, which is pretty standard for most comedy clubs in town, but the menu makes it easy to hit. I tried David's Punchline, and it is an absolute must-order if you have a sweet tooth. The mix of melon liqueur and peach schnapps gives it a bright, fruity base, while the mango nectar and pineapple juice make it incredibly smooth and lush. I also have to shout out the Snickers shot. It was a total revelation - honestly, it felt like a sophisticated hybrid of a chocolate milkshake and a top-tier Espresso Martini with a perfectly smooth texture. One tip: if you're picky about where you sit, definitely try to grab a seat early. The front rows and tables fill up fast, and you'll want that prime view. The service was decent overall; it was a bit on the slower side, but that's totally understandable given it was a packed house. One thing they handle brilliantly is the bill. They actually go around and let people settle up before the show even ends. Many other comedy clubs I've been to make you wave down a waiter and wait forever to pay once the lights come up, but here, you can just head out the second the last comic finishes. It's such a small detail that makes a huge difference in the overall experience. 10/10 night.
