David Milchard the PURE NONSENSE show is back! Twice a month on Thursdays at 8:00pm at 1755 Davie Street downtown Vancouver.�

A Stand Up COMEDY Show with Music and Crowd Work!
Imagine if Adam Sandler had a baby with Reggie Watts and the Flight of the Conchords co-parented that baby with Steve Martin…well that's not what happened but if it did…you would have David Milchard. David Milchard

David Milchard: the PURE NONSENSE show is a comedy night adventure you don't want to miss.

Remember, Convos With My 2 Year Old with 125 million views? That’s David.

Remember, the feature film The Company You Keep directed by Robert Redford starring Shia LaBeouf and David Milchard who had 24 sentences opposite Shia LaBeouf? (Such a fun name you have to say it twice) That was David.

Remember the guy on the bicycle who didn’t stop at the stop sign and you honked your horn? That was probably David.

If you’ve seen the Comedy Department (2024, 2025, 2026 Traveller’s Choice Award - TripAdvisor), Middle Aged Boy Band and Canadian Steam then you’ve seen this guy. You’ve probably seen him at Just For Laughs Vancouver, on TV and heard him on CBC’s the Debaters. He’s been improvising and touring comedy for over 20 year so get ready for a night where anything can happen and it usually does.

David is a Canadian Comedy Award winning musical comedian and a Streamy Award Winner (Conversations with my 2 year-old) who can’t wait to make you laugh, sing along and rock out to your new favourite songs created right in front of you!

🎪LAST NIGHT WAS PACKED

Two banger shows. Two banger crowds. TCD audiences turn it up!!
In the earlier show we fell in love with Ben and Paige.  Who knew North Van could be so romantic?
And a big thank you to The Original Six for putting off reading over 7000 emails in order to come to the show.   

And the late show chaos brought us Michael from Texas - we will never look at a can of White Claw the same again. 
And Rohan and Geri proved that a perfect first date lasts a minimum of 15 hours
But ultimately dead dog.  That’s all we’re going to say.   Dead dog. 

If you had a stupidly good time like we did, let us know by dropping a review on TripAdvisor! Spread the word!!

We’ll be back next week, when we do it all again but different!

MAMMA MIA! Here they go again!
Langley!! We’re bringing ABBA-blahblahblah to the Chief Sepass Theatre and its going to be ridiculous 🕺✨
One night only, October 3.
Its a live variety spectacular...”Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Anni-Frid” reunite in 2026 for a comeback show, and what happens next is completely up to them and the audience. Live musical performances, laugh out loud comedy, tons of audience participation as four “legends” try to pull off the flawless reunion.

“Perma-grin throughout the show...everyone howling with laughter” - actual TripAdvisor review, not us bragging 😂

Starring comedians Denise Jones, Michael Teigen, Matt Clarke and professional jazz musician , Jennifer Hayes: this a cast has decades of experience in live theatre, music, television, and comedy.

This show is nearly sold already so get your tickets soon!
