Happy hump day, Victoria!
The weekend is now on the horizon, and you deserve to treat yourself for making it this far into the work week.
Fancy a comedy show, or a creative night out with friends crafting something with your own hands?
From sewing to beer education, here are 5 things to do in and around Victoria this Wednesday, September 11th:
Comedy Night at The Mint
Who’s ready for a night of belly laughs?!
Nothing says ‘hump day’ like some Wednesday night comedy, and the Mint is where it’s at.
Make sure you grab your tickets before they’re gone—they’re $15 and can be purchased here!
- Where: The Mint, 1414 Douglas Street
- When: Wednesday, September 11th from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Brew School at Vessel Liquor Store
Join Ben at Vessel Liquor Store for an educational and fun evening of Brew School.
Exploring the intersections of beer and wine, cider, and cocktails, in this class you’ll be tasting beers that taking inspiration from their neighbouring beverage categories by incorporating unconventional ingredients.
These experimental styles are full of intrigue, often challenging the notion of what exactly makes a beer, and at what point does it become a hybrid, or something else entirely?
- Where: Vessel Liquor Store, 1609 Fort Street
- When: Wednesday, September 11th from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
- Tickets: Start at $21—find them online here!
Build Night at BC Hobbies
Bring a kit to work on or snag one at BC Hobbies—then hang out while you build! Build Night has limited seating, and it’s first come, first seat.
This build night will be hosted by Graham and Chris F, and you can find more info online.
It’s a free event for build-lovers aged 10 and older.
- Where: BC Hobbies, 1644 Hillside Avenue
- When: Wednesday, September 11th from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Sewing Drop-In at the Community Arts Hub
Got a sewing project you’ve started and now you’re stuck? Need some inspiration to pick up that old project? This is the space for you!
The Community Arts Hub will host expert sewing volunteers available to lend a helping hand with all your sewing project questions.
There is a suggested donation of $5 for access to the space, sewing supplies and volunteer’s expert advice.
The event is BYO sewing machine and notions if you are able. They do have one Brother Sewing machine and one 4 Thread Serger available for use, but the more machines the better! There is also a Brother NQ1700E embroidery machine, some notions, an ironing board and an iron available for use.
- Where: 901 Kings Road

Sixty Watt Trivia at Monkey Tree Pub

If you think are packing a cranium of what seems like useless knowledge, grab some friends and come see if you can take the pub in a battle of wits and wisdom!
Teams of 8 max are welcome.
