Comedy. Live jazz. Good company. One unforgettable night at Erba Social. Step inside Erba Social for a different kind of comedy night. Jazz & Jokes brings together some of Vancouver’s funniest comedians with live jazz, vintage lounge style, and the intimate atmosphere of Erba Social.

Expect chandeliers, a red curtain, sharp comedy, live music, and a room designed for settling in and enjoying the entire show. Doors open at 6:30 PM, comedy begins at 7:00 PM.
