5 Star Rating Watched Sugar Sammy and Nikki Glaser here. It is a good size, cozy venue for comedy shows. It is very near the Stadium Chinatown skytrain station and very convenient to commute to it. A lot of food places around the area as well. It is right beside Browns Social House. The seats are a little small but are comfortable with plenty of leg room. Washrooms are clean. Concession areas are on all floors and it is easy to get your food and drinks before the shows. Queen Elizabeth Theatre is a beautiful venue.

5 Star Rating This is such a beautiful venue with a great view of the stage! The staff are always extremely helpful and inviting. It’s always a great experience to know my next concert or show will be hosted here. I would also mention how great the location is! Perfectly centered around the skytrain stations with many great restaurants nearby for that after show snack!
