Sophie Buddle, Graham Clark, Damonde Tschritter and more serve up virtual Boxing Day laughs

Laugh Track Pop-Up Comedy Club has the cure for post-Christmas blues

Vancouver comedian Sophie Buddle is part of the crew bringing virtual laughs to your Boxing Day schedule.

Laugh Track Pop-Up Comedy Club presents the Virtual Boxing Day Show on December 26 at 8 pm via Zoom.

Pandemic shutdowns have taken heavy toll on local comedians this year.

But Laugh Track Comedy Club has found a way to bring you some of this city and country’s favourite standup stars to you virtually. Added bonus: it’ll help lift your post-Christmas case of the blues.

Headliners include Chris Griffin, Sophie Buddle, Ed Hill, Sunee Dhaliwal, Damonde Tschritter, Andy Noble, and Graham Clark.

A note that content will not be kid-friendly, and audience members are allowed to keep their mikes on so they can hear each other laugh (interruptions--and that includes anything from heckling to your smoothie blender--will earn you a mute).
