Look Who's Talkin - Crowdwork Show - #WSCF4
2026-08-15 20:00 - 21:30
One of the most unpredictable nights of the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival returns, featuring a lineup of comedians armed with little more than a microphone, quick wit, and a willingness to ask increasingly personal questions.
Hosted by the relentlessly curious Chris Venditto, this showcase features headliner Lawrence Corber, along with crowdwork specialists Shosho Abotouk, Serag Meletian, and more surprise guests.
No two shows are ever the same because the material comes directly from the audience. Your job is simple: show up, sit down, and hope nobody asks what you do for a living, how long you’ve been dating your partner, or whether you’ve ever committed a minor crime.
Expect improvised comedy, spontaneous chaos, and the kind of unforgettable moments that can only happen when comedians abandon their prepared jokes and put their faith entirely in the people who bought tickets.
You don’t have to participate. But statistically speaking, someone is going to.

POC: People of Comedy - #WSCF4
2026-08-14 22:00 - 23:30
People of Comedy is an all-inclusive showcase dedicated to the simple but radical idea that comedy is for everyone. Featuring performers from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, this show celebrates the diversity that makes both Montreal and comedy itself so vibrant.
Hosted by Vance, the evening features performances by:
Sara Maleika
Peter Bowen
Nick Benks
Oumer Teyeb
Expect sharp observations, unique viewpoints, cultural misunderstandings, universal truths, and the shared realization that no matter where we come from, we’re all just trying to survive family gatherings, awkward social interactions, and the general chaos of modern life.
People of Comedy is a showcase built on the belief that the best comedy brings people together. It’s a celebration of different voices, shared experiences, and the joy of laughing with one another rather than at one another.
Join us for a night of comedy that proves diversity isn’t a buzzword—it’s a punchline waiting to happen.

Boys of Summer - #WSCF4
2026-08-14 20:00 - 21:30
The temperature is rising, the drinks are flowing, and two of Montreal comedy’s most charming men are stepping into the spotlight for an evening of laughter, longing, and suspiciously good lighting.
The Boys of Summer features co-headline sets from John Cotrocois and Andrew Khoury, two comedians bringing their own unique brands of wit, charisma, and emotional availability (availability not guaranteed).
Is this a comedy show? Absolutely. Is it also an opportunity to spend an evening in the company of two funny, handsome men while pretending you’re only there for the jokes? That’s between you and whoever you’re texting during intermission.
Whether you’re here for the punchlines, the eye contact, or simply to support local boys living their truth on stage, The Boys of Summer promises a hot night of comedy and a welcome reminder that summer flings may be temporary, but great stand-up is forever.
Come laugh. Come swoon. Come see what all the fuss is about.

Tom Murphy's Last Stand - #WSCF4
2026-08-13 22:00 - 23:30
After years of making Montreal audiences laugh, Tom Murphy is saying goodbye the only way he knows how—with one final stand-up show before heading off to his next adventure.
Tom Murphy’s Last Stand is both a celebration and a send-off, bringing together friends, fellow comedians, and comedy fans for one last chance to catch one of Montreal’s funniest performers on home turf. Expect Tom’s signature sharp observations, hilarious stories, and the kind of loose, heartfelt atmosphere that only comes with a farewell show.
Whether you’ve been following Tom for years or are discovering him for the first time, this is your chance to be part of a memorable night as the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival helps give a beloved local comic the send-off he deserves.

2026-08-12 20:00 - 21:30
This is bound to be one of the biggest nights of the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival, as the Jay and Joey Trivia Show takes over the festival for a night of an unforgettable night of laughs, competition, prizes, and questionable knowledge.
For years, Wednesday night trivia has been a cornerstone of the World’s Smallest community, bringing together comedians, regulars, and trivia obsessives for a weekly battle of wits. This special festival edition features legendary hosts Joey Elias and Jay Farrar, the voices behind Montreal’s most iconic Trivia Show.
Now, Joey—a veteran stand-up comedian and broadcaster with more than 30 years in the business—and Jay, the show’s longtime producer and resident trivia mastermind, bring that same energy to the World’s Smallest stage.

Secret Showcase - #WSCF4
2026-08-11 22:00 - 23:30
Some shows tell you exactly who’s performing. The Secret Showcase prefers to keep you guessing.
One of the most anticipated traditions of the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival returns for its fourth edition, bringing together a mystery lineup of comedians, special guests, festival favorites, and perhaps a few surprises that nobody is supposed to know about. The only guarantee is that everyone taking the stage has been invited for a reason.
Will it be a headliner dropping in to test new material? A local legend making an unexpected appearance? A visiting comic looking to cause trouble? We can’t say. That’s the fun of it.
What we can promise is an unforgettable night of stand-up, surprises, and the kind of spontaneous comedy magic that only happens when nobody—including the audience—knows exactly what’s coming next.
Take a chance. Trust the festival. Join us for The Secret Showcase, where the best part of the show is not knowing what happens next.
