Get ready to raise your spirits at Mahtay Café & Lounge on October 24, 2026 at 8:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time) for a night where the only thing scarier than the zombies are the comedians!

Join us for an evening filled with spooky vibes and undead hilarity as performers bring the Night of the Living Improv to life. It’s the perfect way to laugh in the face of fright and enjoy some chillingly good fun.

Don your creepiest costume or just bring your best scream—either way, it’s going to be a howling good time!

Join us for our monthly improv show Live! At Mahtay Café!

Comedy Show. Cottage Vibes.

It’s all Cottage Vibes at this month’s Improv Niagara showcase, so bring your bug spray (not really) and get ready for a fun evening of unscripted, unpredictable and unhinged laughs!

This month featuring:

Dan Dingwall

Bryan Miskovski

Dina Senior

Rita Sirianni

& Brie Watson

ONLY at Mahtay Café, in the heart of downtown St. Catharines!

Let’s LAUGH, Niagara!

The temperature’s hot, and the comedy’s even hotter, but the building is relatively cool and they serve ice-cold beverages!

Spend the evening with IMPROV NIAGARA as we ride out the heatwave the only way we know how; by making up silly comedy scenes on the spot inspired by your wonderful suggestions, possibly with portable fans!
