Free admission! Firehall Open Mic & Jam Night is an opportunity for local musicians to perform their art in a public, social setting in the Firehall Brewery brewpub! Open Mic & Jam Nights are an important part of every music scene, to allow new musicians to flourish, and seasoned musicians to hone their trade. Please keep in mind, the “pub” environment may not always provide an attentive audience, but capturing the crowd is all part of the challenge 😉

We recommend performers RSVP so we know you’re coming! Table reservations are no longer available.

FOR MUSICIANS – PLEASE READ

Please arrive around 6:30 and identify yourself to our host, Mike Dallamore, and let him know if you would like accompaniment (Open Mic style vs Jam style). He will find you a slot for you to play up to three songs.

We will have three microphones, and a PA mixer with more than enough inputs for instruments. Small electric amps are permitted, but they must be coordinated with the sound tech. Small percussion instruments are permitted. Bagpipes are stricly prohibited unless you are wearing a kilt… just kidding (though kilts are awesome).

We have no restrictions on genre, though we insist that all performers respect that our space is family-friendly, and we have a strict intolerance for prejudice or abusive material.

FOR PATRONS – PLEASE READ

Please respect the musicians. They have worked hard to get up on the stage 🙂

Derek Edwards - Oxy Moron
2026-03-14 19:30 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Every few millennia, a comic emerges, born from the cosmic soup of fate and time, jostled by the gales of change onto the unpredictable shores of comedic brilliance. This is a man who embodies pluck and wit, lighthearted yet encumbered, and a naivete that somehow remains endearing. As Derek says: In the grand contest of life, he stands proudly as a bona fide “participant.”

Well … truth be told, there’s a lot more to it than that. From Vegas to St. John’s, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic – Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemininominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.”

Clearly the critics agree: “5 STARS – the funniest man on earth” – Winnipeg Free Press; “4 STARS – the crowd howled” – Victoria Times Colonist; “still the funniest man in Canada” – Toronto Sun; “Edwards reigns as the King of Canadian comedy” – Charlottetown Guardian; “Derek Edwards is hysterical” – Calgary Sun; “Edwards takes stand-upto next stage” – Georgia Straight; “the epitome of timing & storytelling” – Halifax Chronicle Herald; “the comedian’s comedian” – London Free Press.

So come on out and join Derek for his latest show, Oxy Moron, as it makes its way across Canada. Expect a night of perceptive guesswork and charmingly misguided jabs from a cherished performer. Enjoy some hearty laughs, a sprinkling of wisdom, and the pleasure of mingling with fellow humans. It’s a triple win!

Venables Theatre presents AWOL
2026-03-19 19:30 - 21:00 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Two old men escape from a care home and go to a metal concert

Cyril doesn’t like old people, which is a shame because he is one. When he learns his estranged granddaughter, Lily, has her big break with her thrash metal band, Abscess, he and his friend Neville are determined to show up and support her. Neither of them will ever be the same again. AWOL is a buddy adventure caper about two men who decide they’ve had enough of bland food, dull company and care home radio.

UK comedian, poet and former nurse Rob Gee wrote the show after reading a news item from Germany: “It turned out not to be true, but it inspired me to write a buddy movie-style adventure caper with a positive message about ageing. It’s also a love letter to metalheads!” Rob has performed over 100 fringe festivals across the world and won over twenty awards for his solo shows. Fringe hits include SmartArse (“Be prepared to be blown away” – CBC) and Forget Me Not: The Alzheimer’s Whodunnit (“This is terrific theatre” – Vancouver Sun).

Jon Paterson has worked in theatre for thirty years and performed at every major fringe festival in North America. He toured his first solo-written show How I Met My Mother last year, exploring his relationship with his mother in the wake of her dementia (“Humorous, heartfelt and moving” – Orlando Sentinel).

Rob and Jon have been friends for sixteen years. Rob said, “I knew Jon would be perfect for this show and when Ryan came on board also, the three of us immediately hit it off. If we’d been at school, they’d never have allowed us to sit together.” Director Ryan Gladstone is the artistic director of Monster Theatre and creator of numerous fringe hits, including Til Death: The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Juliet: A Revenge Comedy. (“A natural comedian”– CBC).

Legends of Country Guitar - David Barber
2026-04-01 19:00 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
The Legends Of Country Guitar show takes the listener on a voyage back to a time when country guitar was as much twang as it was smooth. The electric guitar was brand new and creativity soared. At the pinnacle of both guitar and Country Music was Chet Atkins. His influence on guitar is still heavily prevalent on guitarists. Chet also managed RCA Records in Nashville Tennessee where he singed artists and produced songs that made Country Music what it is today.

Join Dave Barber and his band as they performs the music of the early influences on Country guitar such as the Jazz of Django Reinhardt, the main players such as Merle Travis, Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins. Also paying tribute to artists that Chet Atkins influenced, gave record deals and produced hits for artists like Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley and Waylon Jennings to name a few.

Dave Barber has won British Columbia country music awards andCanadian Gospel Music Awards. He has also been nominated for Canadian Country Music Awards, Western Canadian Music Awards as well as Juno’s through work of his own and various work with artists. Dave has also had the honour of being the guitarist for artists such as The Chieftains, Colin James, Heidi Newfield (Trick Pony), Barney Bentall, and The High Bar Gang to name a few.
