Vancouver Comedian Joanne Tsung Shares Her Late-Night Hot Spots

Best-Kept Dessert Secret

My absolute favourite dessert spot is Winter Bear on Denman. It’s one of the best bingsu places I’ve been to, especially their mango cheesecake bingsu. They use piped cheesecake instead of those nasty frozen chunks that hurt my teeth—bonus points if you can catch a sunset afterward.

Late-Night Comfort Spot

Congee Noodle House at Main and Broadway is always my go-to. They used to be open later, but since the pandemic, they’ve only been open until 10 or 11 p.m. The order is salt-and-pepper fried tofu, beef flat rice noodles and the Hong Kong-style lemon iced tea.

Favourite Comedy Venue

I love China Cloud in Chinatown for many reasons, but that large stage and those comfy couches create the right kind of vibe, you know?

Weirdest Standup Venue

I’d say the weirdest spot I’ve done comedy in is Hero’s Welcome on Main. I love that venue, but my goodness those flags! I looked like I was getting my Canadian citizenship—I almost broke into the anthem after my set.
