The likes of Bill Burr and Pete Davidson will be convincing ticket-paying patrons to feel humorous feels.
Some of comedy’s top names will grace Stanley Park for a weekend of belly laughs.
Bill Burr, Pete Davidson and Matt Rife are among the biggest names who will grace the park for the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival starting on Friday (Aug. 28) and running through Sunday.
Despite Burr being a big-name comedian, more than 300 tickets remain, as of Friday afternoon. General Admission to see his hilariously angry candour play out in the flesh starts at $117 for general admission.
Naturally, you can buy more-expensive options, including general admission plus and VIP, the latter offering a variety of tables or the most expensive “club” option.
