Vancouver cultural and political events

*Meet Bucket, Vancouver's premier bi-racial, bi-sizal sketch comedy duo -- and the act Robin Williams called "the future of comedy." In January 2006, accomplished writers and stand-up comics Paul Bae and Charles Demers (of Seven Oaks) joined up to write and perform scathing, engaging sketch comedy with a cerebral twist that has had audiences on both sides of the border in stitches, and has the Georgia Straight's comedy critic lauding their "extremely clever writing and excellent stage presence [...] packed with laugh-out-loud jokes." Join the Bucket Facebook group today!

*Listen to Co-op Radio, Vancouver's listener owned community voice. Vancouver Co-operative Radio, CFRO, 102.7FM is a non-commercial, co-operatively-owned, listener-supported, community radio station.
