Just For Laughs VANCOUVER closed out a stellar 10th anniversary edition that saw a standout lineup of world-class performers descend upon Vancity. From sold-out shows and bring-the-house-down performances, to David Letterman’s highly anticipated and long overdue Canadian return, this year’s Festival kept Vancouver comedy fans laughing from start to finish.

Over the course of 11 days, more than 290 artists performed on over 125 shows at over 30 venues across the city for more than 46,000 attendees. Highlights featured sold-out shows from a mix of acclaimed performers and rising stars, including Atsuko Okatsura, Laura Ramoso, James Acaster, Dropout Improv, Mary Beth Barone, Ed Gamble, Mario Adrion, Lucy Darling, Joe List and more.

The Queen Elizabeth Theatre set the stage for a meeting of two comedy legends when David Letterman sat down with special guest Zach Galifianakis. Letterman’s longtime Canadian musical director, Paul Schaffer, delighted the audience with a surprise appearance to accompany celebrated singer/songwriter Elizabeth Irving for the national anthem.

Vancouver-based Ola Dada filmed his all-new comedy special, and the seventh season of The New Wave of Standup, a Just For Laughs and NorthWest Comedy showcase spotlighting the country’s most exciting emerging comedians, was recorded for CBC Gem before a sold-out crowd. Just For Laughs fan-favourite shows also returned with JFL Live Sessions, The Alternative Show, The Nasty Show, and the annual Best of the West series celebrating B.C.’s local talent.

In recognition and celebration of the Festival’s milestone year, the City of Vancouver proclaimed February 12 – 22, 2026, Just For Laughs VANCOUVER Week, marking a special honour for Western Canada’s largest comedy festival.

“From legendary performances to break-out moments, this year’s Festival has been nothing short of incredible,” said Heather Wallace, Founding Partner and Festival Director of Just For Laughs VANCOUVER. “We are grateful to everyone who made this milestone year one for the books – our performers, partners, sponsors, venues, local communities, and the incredible staff – all of whom helped create unforgettable moments for Vancouver comedy fans.”

A major chapter in Canadian music history has been hiding in plain sight for decades. It’s now been brought back into focus by Track Changes: The Origin Story of Canadian Music on the Internet (1990–2010), a new non-fiction book by Toronto-based writer Cam Gordon.

Available now through FriesenPress, the book offers the first comprehensive account of how the internet’s early evolution forever altered Canadian music culture. Track Changes captures two decades of change that largely slipped from view as early digital platforms went offline and the era’s consumer technologies became obsolete. The book recovers many of these moments and shares this partially hidden history of Canadian music, media and technology.

“People often talk about digital music as if it started with Napster or iTunes,” says author Cam Gordon. “What gets forgotten is that many Canadian artists, fans and entrepreneurs were already building and connecting online years earlier and straight through the early 2000s. Track Changes documents that shared history before it disappears completely.”

Gordon began writing Track Changes while working at Twitter as its head of communications for Canada, a role he held for nearly eight years. Previously, he wrote for music publications such as Chart Magazine and Wavelength Music while working in public relations, representing LG Electronics and other consumer technology brands. From his dual perspective as a tech insider and music fan, Gordon set out to chronicle a time in Canadian music culture that has never been fully captured or explained.

Track Changes examines the rise of new media and online innovation in Canada, including mailing lists, BBS communities, fan-built websites, MP3 blogs, early e-commerce platforms and online news outlets. The book also details how legacy brands were forced to evolve, including major record labels, retailers such as HMV and Sam the Record Man, and media leaders including CBC, MuchMusic and 102.1 The Edge (CFNY-FM).

The impact of Apple, Napster, Amazon and other global titans is also part of the story. Yet so are the important contributions of Canadian tech originals including the Nettwerk Music Group, online record labels such as MapleMusic and Zunior, the Puretracks digital music store, the 20hz and Stillepost message boards, and music blogs such as Chromewaves and Said the Gramophone.

Gordon also maintains a Track Changes Instagram account. The @TrackChanges_ca feed serves as an additional archive of Canada’s early internet music footprint. It shares screenshots, photos and stories from defunct websites, online forums, digital ads, news articles, blogs and social platforms.

“Track Changes is a good reminder of how purposeful and community-driven the early internet era was,” says Gordon. “There was no playbook. Global brands, Canadian startups and everyday fans alike were all figuring things out on the fly. As it turns out, a lot of the behaviours and technologies we take for granted today started as small experiments running off personal computers and dial-up connections.”

Track Changes: The Origin Story of Canadian Music on the Internet (1990–2010) is available now through FriesenPress, Indigo, Book City, McNally Robinson, Amazon and other online booksellers.

A fifth installment of the hit Disney Channel Original Movie “ZOMBIES” franchise has been greenlit for Disney+ and Disney Channel, with Malachi Barton and Freya Skye set to return to their breakout roles as Victor and Nova. Franchise stars Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly return to executive produce, while Trevor Tordjman returns as Bucky, the beloved cheer captain and cousin of Addison from the original trilogy. The film begins production this spring in New Zealand. An official title will be announced at a later date.

Following the events of “ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires,” the newfound peace between the Daywalkers and Vampires is put to the test when a band of fierce mermaids arrives in Rayburn, making waves and casting a persuasive siren song to lure in new allies. Nova and Victor must unite their groups once more to discover what the mermaids are really after in order to protect the fragile harmony they worked so hard to build.

The returning cast includes Malachi Barton as Victor, Freya Skye as Nova, Swayam Bhatia as Vera, Julian Lerner as Ray, and Mekonnen Knife as Vargas from “ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires.” New to the franchise are a trio of mysterious mermaids: Diaana Babnicova as cool-girl Pearl, Taylor Oliver as bad-boy Fin, and Olive Mortimer as tech-wiz Sandy. Emily Costtrici joins the cast as zombie Izzy, Zed’s zombie cousin and new transfer student.

DGA Award-winner Paul Hoen, director and executive producer of the entire “ZOMBIES” franchise, will return for this latest installment. Also returning are executive producers Jane Fleming, Mark Ordesky, Joseph Raso and David Light and producer Skot Bright, alongside Manheim and Donnelly. The movie features next-level dance sequences, choreographed by Dondraico Johnson, and an original score composed by Tom Howe. Joining the creative team are writers Chris Hazzard, Michael Fontana and Eydie Faye.

“‘ZOMBIES’ has become a defining franchise for the current generation,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “With each movie, we intentionally push the story somewhere new. Introducing mermaids in ‘ZOMBIES 5’ opens up a completely different dynamic, while staying true to the music, characters and themes of unity and acceptance that are at the heart of these films.”

The summer 2024 premiere of “ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires” garnered 9.3 million views globally in its first nine days streaming, amassing 43 million views in less than 6 months.*

The “ZOMBIES 5” greenlight news comes during a landmark year for Disney Channel fans, as 2026 celebrates the milestone anniversaries of “High School Musical” and “Hannah Montana,” leading into the premieres of new franchise installments “Descendants: Wicked Wonderland” and “Camp Rock 3” this summer. Last summer’s smash hit “Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide Tour” now includes a concert special streaming on Disney+, and it was just announced that the “Worlds Collide Tour” will return this year with talent from “Descendants,” “ZOMBIES” and “Camp Rock” franchises.

“ZOMBIES,” ZOMBIES 2,” “ZOMBIES 3,” “ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires,” and “ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series” are now streaming on Disney+ and can be found in the “ZOMBIES” Collection on the service. The all-new short-form series “Locker Diaries: ZOMBIES” is now available on Disney+ with additional episodes rolling out every Saturday until mid-April.

GRAMMY-nominated, record-breaking, singer-songwriter Alex Warren released his highly-anticipated new single and music video for “FEVER DREAM” via Atlantic Records – listen HERE/watch HERE:

The upbeat and irresistibly catchy “FEVER DREAM” is finally available to fans due to high demand after weeks of Warren teasing the record on his socials with his posts amassing nearly 100 million views. The song captures the surreal intensity of life at full speed, from a hard hitting romantic love, which reflects on Alex meeting his wife Kouvr for the first time and the ever-changing chaos of fame. The dance ready single marks the introduction into Warren’s next chapter following his breakthrough year in 2025.

The accompanying music video, directed by Andrew Theodore Balasia features Alex in a dream-like sequence with a series of chaotic events and includes a special cameo from icon Paris Hilton – watch HERE. As an LA tourist bus driver he encounters a funky, charismatic, colorful, and borderline absurd world where we find the weird amongst the mundane in unexpected moments of celebration, play and love before he is finally awoken from the literal ‘fever dream’ snapping back to reality.

Over the weekend, Alex performed his global, smash hit, ‘Ordinary’ with James Blunt at the BRIT Awards where the track was nominated for ‘International Song of the Year. The track shaped Warren’s career defining year with global record-breaking stats across various charts, radio, award nominations and more. In total it has been streamed over 3 billion times in just one year since release and was the top selling single in the US last year.

Up next, Alex will embark on his Finding Family On The Road tour which kicks off in Europe in April, followed by US/Canada dates throughout the summer. The iconic O2 in London & Madison Square Garden in NYC sold-out immediately. To announce the US leg, Alex released a comedic trailer starring Jennifer Aniston & Max Greenfield – watch here.
