CAFE is your one stop shop for everything related to cannabis! Not only do we have the best weed selection in Toronto, along with every kind of edible, cannabis infused beverages and accessories – we are also the best place to go for cannabis centric entertainment in the city. CAFE and Smokes & Jokes present a monthly comedy show that takes place at Toronto’s storied Comedy Bar, located on Bloor St W just steps away from our 932 Bloor St location. Our March show took place on Saturday, March 16 at 11pm, and it was a great time! We were so happy to see so many people out at out show, ready for a night of cannabis-focused comedy and laughter.
CAFE and our in-house brand Smokes & Jokes host monthly comedy nights at Toronto’s well-reputed Comedy Bar, where the city’s best talent take to the stage to regale audiences with their best material. CAFE is proud to work with some of the city’s best talent, and humbled to say that our shows are so popular that they sell out all the time. Many of our comedians are also huge fans of cannabis, and love to make jokes about their favourite herb that land especially well with our cannabis-loving audience.
The night started at 11pm at Toronto’s famous Comedy Bar, located on Bloor St West. This spot is conveniently just across the street from our 932 Bloor St W location, where show goers could show their ticket and receive 20% off product of their choice. This promo is extremely well-received by our audience – we often see them making their way across the street to our store right after the show, or the next day.
The night featured a lineup of comedians, most of whom are local to Toronto and perform regularly at our shows. We were pleased to welcome back Ryan Hillis, Ronen and Garrett Jamieson back to our show! New performers included Hilary Henderson, Ka Ram, our headliner Patrick Hakem and our show MC, Hershawn Arora.
We find it funny how many of our comedians love to tell jokes that involve cannabis. Of course, many of them are big fans of our favourite flowers, and even shop regularly with us at CAFE. Our comedy shows are often full of hilarious stories of our comedians getting a little too high and then acting dazed and confused as a result!
The night was a truly fun one, and guests enjoyed the comedic performances. The Comedy Bar is a non smoking venue, but guests were able to order food and drinks right from their tables by scanning a QR code. Of course, we did observe many people indulging in their favourite cannabis products outside before and after the show!
Twice during the show, our host Hershawn Arora got up on stage with a special prize – a gift bag containing flower from our show sponsor Smokes & Jokes! The audience was very excited and two volunteers came up to battle it out on stage – in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The victor got to take home the prize pack! We love that our comedians always interact with and are engaged with our audience – the vibe it creates is indescribable. Our second gift pack winner was celebrating a birthday, and receiving the gift just made their night, which was incredible to see.
We had a fantastic time at this Smokes & Jokes show as always! Our shows happen every month, and feature a unique lineup of comedians each time. Next month’s show is going to be right on April 20th – so make sure to add our comedy night to your 4/20 celebrations! To get tickets, click HERE.
