The only comedy club owned by a dog.

Luci’s Comedy Club was founded in 2024 by business owner Marley Mecas and comedian Tim Gray — with inspiration from Marley’s lil doggie Luci (half Shih Tzu, half Havanese, all adorable).

The club began inside Ashdown Market in Winnipeg’s East Exchange District, where Tim led the transformation of a warehouse space into an intimate comedy room — complete with a custom wood ceiling, handcrafted stage, and the now-legendary Pizza Hut Buffet VIP Booth.

In its short but electric first run, Luci’s quickly became a home for local live comedy. Three comedians recorded specials in the space, including Mike Green, Spencer Adamus, and Chad Anderson. The room proved what we believed from the start: Winnipeg has the talent and the audience to support a thriving, independent comedy club.

When permit issues forced the venue to close, it was a setback — but not the end. The response from audiences and comedians made one thing clear: Luci’s needed to continue.

Today, Luci’s Comedy Club lives on through pop-up shows across Winnipeg, including our monthly show “Comedy on Main” at 468 Main Street. We continue to build, grow, and work toward a permanent home for the club.

If you’ve been to a Luci’s show before, you probably remember the Fun Bucket — where audience members submit topics for comedians to riff on live. It’s unpredictable, interactive, and a reminder of what makes live comedy special: anything can happen.

Luci’s was built by hand. It was built by community. And we’re building it again — stronger than before.

Our
Values

Live Comedy

There is no substitute for live comedy. No algorithm. No replay. No pause button. Just a room full of people sharing one moment that will never happen the same way twice. Put your phone away. Take a break from the noise. Sit in a dark room with strangers and laugh together. That’s the magic.


Showcase Local Talent

Great comedy scenes don’t happen by accident — they’re built. We believe in investing in Winnipeg comedians by giving them a professional stage, real audiences, and the opportunity to grow. Each show highlights standout local talent alongside emerging voices and occasional touring guests who stop through town.


Develop Comedic Craft

Great comedy doesn’t happen by accident. It’s written, tested, refined, and performed over and over again. We are committed to helping comedians sharpen their voice through workshops, stage time, and mentorship. Whether someone is stepping on stage for the first time or preparing for a national tour, Luci’s is a place to grow.


Professionalism & Partnership

Comedy is an art — but it’s also a service. We believe in preparation, communication, and delivering performances that fit the room. From corporate events to community fundraisers, we connect organizations with comedians who understand the audience and respect the occasion. When you book through Luci’s, you’re booking professionals.
