The China Broadcasting Performing Arts Troupe brings its 2026 Canadian tour to Montreal, with a performance at the Outremont Theatre on Sunday, November 15, 2026. The evening is a comedy show, built around xiangsheng, a traditional Chinese form of comic dialogue, alongside comedy sketches.
About the performance
Xiangsheng is performed by two performers trading lines in a spoken exchange, and it is one of the best-known forms of Chinese live comedy. The sketches add a different rhythm to the programme, so the evening moves between the older verbal style and more visual, scene-based humour.

Outremont is a residential district on the north side of Montreal's central area, so an evening here suits a visitor who wants to combine the show with a walk through a quieter neighbourhood. Because the performance is in spoken Chinese, it may be most rewarding for visitors who follow the language or who enjoy comedy that relies on wordplay and timing.
