Holy Crap! The Showdown is back!
After a Covid-inspired hiatus, the Showdown - Victoria’s première performance based talent competition - is returning to the stage to woo and wow you.
At 7:15 prepare to be wooed as an incredible blend of stand up comics, burlesque performers, drag artists, musicians, and more take to the stage to win your vote to take home the crown and $100 cold hard cash. The winner and runner up will also both be invited to compete in the 2019/2020 season finale! Lineup to be announced soon.
Wait, what? That can only mean that…
…and then it’s gone again!
But, that really doesn’t clear it up. Does it? I mean, it’s 2022. Your marketing is unclear and confusing.
At 9:45 we’re thrilled to bring you the long awaited 2019/2020 season finale! Featuring returning champions and runners up from the most recent Showdown Season, taking to the stage once more to wow you! The winner will take home the title of Grand Champion and a cash prize of $300.00 CASH. Featuring the talents of Eddi Licious, Henrietta Dubét, The Rutledge Rollers, Darren Millar, Rod Peter Jr., the winners of the previous show, and more to be announced soon.

I mean, we did say Holy Crap, right?
Come for the one, come for both, use the power of democracy to help choose the winner. The power is yours!

In the event that public health restrictions prevent this event from going ahead, all tickets purchased for this event will automatically be valid for the next rescheduled date.


≫ What To Bring ≪
▪︎ Please bring valid government issued photo ID and vaccination QR Code. If you don’t have a valid government issued photo ID, we cannot accept entry into the venue.
▪︎ We do not require printed tickets or you to show QR codes of your tickets as we have all names who purchased tickets at the door. If you have a guest who will be arriving later than you, have them say your name at check-in.
▪︎ Please note that the time on your ticket is when the doors open for the show. Further details can be found in the event description. We ask that you try to arrive close to door time, as our current entrance and seating procedure takes some time.


≫ Tickets ≪
▪︎ We do not offer refunds on tickets. If you need to sell your tickets, the best way is to reach out to your social circles or post in the Facebook event discussion.
▪︎ If you would like to transfer the ownership of your ticket to another person, you can do so from your Universe account. See more on how to do this at:
https://support.universe.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002614651-transfer-your-ticket


≫ Safer Spaces ≪
▪︎ At the VEC there is zero tolerance for any type of racist, sexist, ableist, fatphobic, transphobic or homophobic behaviour. By purchasing a ticket and attending this event, you agree to conduct yourself with the utmost respect for everyone at this event. In the event that you do not, you may be asked to leave without a refund.
▪︎ If you feel uncomfortable at any time, please let a VEC staff person know and we will try to support you in the best way possible.


≫ Land Acknowledgement ≪
▪︎ We would like to gratefully acknowledge that the territory on which this event takes place is on the traditional, stolen, unceded land of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We acknowledge the rich cultural history of the many peoples and rituals that have been affected by the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.


≫ Accessibility ≪
▪︎ Our seating is a combination of high tables, bar stools, and cocktail tables with chairs. If you require assistance with this, please make a note when purchasing tickets or contact us at [email protected] and VEC staff will do their best to accommodate.
▪︎ There are three multi-user, gender-inclusive bathrooms with stalls. One bathroom has a larger stall with its own sink and a grab bar (more details in the ‘Bathrooms’ section).
▪︎ The Victoria Event Centre currently does not have an operational elevator, and there is one long flight of stairs at the venue entrance. The only way into the VEC is up 27 wood stairs, 11″ deep, 6″ high. There are wooden 2.5” handrails 38” up the wall on each side of the staircase (54” apart, so not graspable on both sides at once. See further details in the ‘Getting Inside’ section)
▪︎ If you would like to attend the event but require assistance with accessing the space, please contact us at [email protected] and VEC staff will do their best to accommodate.
▪︎ Inside the Victoria Event Centre there is a gender inclusive wheelchair accessible washroom that technically fits necessary size dimensions, but is missing a bar and a handrail beside the toilet. There are two stalls in the washroom, but only one of these has been renovated to meet 5'x5' wheelchair clearance.
