The Dark Comedy Festival is back!

Starting this weekend, the Dark Comedy Festival with some of your darkest comics in the industry! Launched by Rob Mailloux four years ago, the festival has a stunning line up every year and this one is going to be a great one. Not only do we have great like Brain Posehn, Andrew Schulz, Maria Bamford and Kurt Metzger but we also have a some roasting to do!

The Dark Comedy Festival  started in 2011 by Comedian Rob Mailloux. It ran for 10 days, had 18 shows and over 50 performers including Jim Jefferies, Big Jay Oakerson, Glenn Wool and Jamie Kilstein.

Mailloux created the festival to showcase Dark Comedy within Canada. This year the festival is looking to sell over 3000 tickets and looking to expand to a 4 day festival in Vancouver. This year is better than ever!
