Graham Clark presents…
GRAHAM CLARK READS THE PHONEBOOK
September 25, 2015
2 SOLD OUT SHOWS!!!
One night only, Vancouver’s beloved Graham Clark will perform his sold out, 5 star show: Graham Clark Reads the Phone Book.
“So, so funny.” —CBC
“In an era where the phone book is going extinct, Graham Clark Reads the Phonebook serves as a fitting eulogy to the 100+ years of fast pizza delivery, cheap car insurance and respectful funeral homes.”
Erin Gibbs and Hot Art Wet City bring an eclectic collection together for a two-day flea market.

Comedy Bucket is the only show in town where comedians are guaranteed to talk about what’s on your mind. Everyone who attends this show will receive a slip of paper, on which they can write anything… anonymously. You don’t sign it, no one looks at it. Straight into the bucket it goes and what comes out is comedy gold… hopefully. A talented crew of jokers will attempt to perform comedic alchemy, right before your very eyes. Whatever you’re thinking about, whatever crosses your mind. Write it down and see what happens. The best comics. The best laughs. Monthly at Hot Art Wet City.
