FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Surrey, BC (February 11, 2025) – Yuk Yuk’s Media is bringing big laughs to Fort Langley with a brand-new comedy experience, officially launching at the Chief Sepass Theatre on Saturday, March 1st at 8PM. The night will be headlined by acclaimed comedian Dino Archie, known for his appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Netflix is a Joke Fest, and Comedy Central. But that’s not all as this show marks the beginning of a new partnership between Yuk Yuk’s Media and The Fort Pub & Grill, bringing monthly stand-up comedy to Fort Langley.
After the Chief Sepass Theatre show, fans can join the comedians at The Fort Pub & Grill for a special late-night dark-humour after-party show at 10 PM. Tickets for the late show are $20 or free with proof of purchase from the theatre show (first come, first served due to limited seating).

We’re now eager to host ongoing monthly comedy shows, offering our patrons not just the great food and drinks that we are known for, but also the best in live Canadian stand-up comedy. It’s a perfect fit for our community-focused atmosphere.”
