The Comedy Cave
The Comedy Cave is a fantastic family owned and operated comedy club in Calgary for the past 17 years. Providing Calgarians with exceptional comedic talent from all over North America, they also specialize in serving delicious cuisine you simply must try yourself. The philosophy of the Comedy Cave is to entertain Calgarians with the gift of genuine laughter which has a myriad of physiological benefits. After all, laughter is the best medicine.
Due to Calgary’s laboring economic environment, corporate entertaining budgets were compressing, and a location move to downtown Calgary impacted seat sales. The Comedy Cave needed to craft a fresh sales and marketing strategy to attract new and past customers as well as corporate teams. It was paramount to build up the popularity and attendance to the newly renovated and exciting venue.
