Famous for doing standup when she was nearly 9 months pregnant, Ali Wong may joke about babies, but this is not a comedy show you bring kids to! She's crass, brave, and more honest about sex and life than anyone! She's so popular she's doing six shows in three nights at the Vogue. Grab a pair of tickets before they're all sold out. Make a saucy date night out of it!!
But Wong's gut-busting stand up is one of the 10 best things to do & see in Vancouver this weekend, as picked by our city’s #knowfun Selectors at Do604.
