Important update regarding the COVID-19 situation:

As a result of recent developments including directives that groups of 50 people or more should be avoided we have decided to suspend operations on a week-to-week basis.

While we do have the ability to limit our capacity and remain open, there are a number of factors that we need to consider for the greater public good including the fact that much of our talent has to fly - usually from larger cities where active cases are present, in order to perform here.

We do not wish to cause anyone harm or impede health officials from controlling the spread of the virus in Winnipeg as active cases already exist in the city.

Keep following the page for future updates, we will be sure to provide as much notice as possible for when we decide to resume operations! Stay safe and healthy Winnipeg!

03/15/2020

Announcement for next weekend’s show with Trent McLellan.

It will be rebooked, we do not presently have that information as the COVID-19 situation continues to develop.

Tickets can be held for the future date, or refunds will be offered for those who would prefer a refund.

Important statement about COVID-19 from Crickets Management:

We are aware and cognizant of the global pandemic surrounding the COVID-19 coronavirus. In these difficult times we believe it is important to remain open to the public to provide laughter and entertainment to our small crowds. Many steps are being taken by public authorities to limit gatherings of 250 people or more due to the risk large gatherings pose. As our club has a capacity of 150, we do not meet that threshold and believe that the risk at this time is very low.

Our incoming talent is assessed for signs and symptoms prior to arriving in Winnipeg. We will elect to forego usual standard pleasantries of hand shaking and physical contact where possible to mitigate risk - we don’t love you any less, but we would like to be able to continue providing laughter and a fun night out for as long as possible while health authorities do their part to end this pandemic.

Come out for some great laughs this weekend, our headliner Kris Bonaparte will be sure to entertain and amuse!

It's not too late to make plans for New Year's Eve! Come on out and ring in the New Year with laughter! Cheapest ticket in town for live entertainment hands down - and if you miss out tonight, come and check out Scott Belford this upcoming weekend!

Last time he was in Winnipeg he lost his cell phone downtown and got it back a short time later - leading him to believe you can totally leave your cellphone anywhere downtown and get it back every single time!

We also have an open mic coming up - if you've ever wanted to try comedy, or have a few open mics under your belt you don't want to miss the chance to get up on our stage and give it a whirl!

We also have Tanyalee Davis coming up later in the month - you do NOT want to miss out on her shows; she'll be celebrating her 30th anniversary in comedy at our club!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! What better time than after the holiday chaos to go out with family and friends and enjoy a great night of laughs! This weekend at Crickets Comedy Club Winnipeg we have Matthew Murray gracing our stage!

And if you don't already have plans for New Year's Eve - come and join us, we're the cheapest ticket in town for live entertainment that night! We don't believe in gouging people just because it's a special night - the show will be a great deal of fun and we will have a countdown as midnight approaches!

If you're already committed on New Year's Eve - you can come out the following weekend to catch the headliner Scott Belford anyway! You do not want to miss him!

And last but certainly not least - we are bringing our open mic's back to start off the New Year; they're going to be weekly on Tuesdays, 5 minute sets so get writing and feel free to come on out and give it a shot! $2 admission or FREE admission with a non-perishable food donation to Winnipeg Harvest!

We've had a tough time grabbing a feature comic for this weekend, so we're going to run a special that will be a great deal!

This weekend with host and headliner you can get into the club for $10 at the door! That's a huge savings and an absolute steal to see comedian T.J. Wharry! He's coming all the way from Indiana, show him why the license plates say Friendly Manitoba!

Added bonus - if you come to the club in full Juggalo makeup, we'll let you in for $5! Grab the members of your Sane Clown Posse (there's enough insanity out there in Winnipeg as it is) and come down for a great weekend of laughs!

All people signing up to go on stage will get up to 5-minutes of stage time, after that 5 minutes - the crowd will have to keep laughing to keep you on stage or your time will be up!

Don’t forget it’s the last day to take advantage of the 50% off coupon for tonight’s performance with Shannon Laverty Stand up Comic! Buy your tickets online with the coupon code EARLYBIRD to take advantage!

We also understand that Winnipeg is having some difficult times as it pertains to crime, and that areas of the city (including ours, downtown) are not as inviting as they once were. We are pleased to report that our club has had ZERO safety concerns since opening and is by all accounts a safe space in downtown for people to come and enjoy a great night out.

However, we also understand that outside our premises, Downtown can still be a tad frightening to some folks, especially in the dark. We don’t want you to feel that way at all and are pleased to remind you that the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ operates a Safe Walk program wherein volunteers will come to the club and es**rt you to your vehicle/public transit; and vice versa, a simple call away 204-958-SAFE

It is a free service, available on demand (a phone call away) and we will be putting up posters in our washrooms and other materials at the club so please don’t let it impact your decision to come out for a night of laughter - you’ll be so glad you did!
