The funny child of 604 Records
Comedy Here Often? (CHO) is a dynamic comedy record label based in Vancouver, Canada, dedicated to showcasing the best in stand-up, sketch, and comedic music. Founded in 2015 by 604 Records CEO Jonathan Simkin, CHO emerged from a need to create more space for Canadian comedians to be heard and treated with respect. As the comedic offshoot of 604 Records, CHO has become the go-to destination for independent, on-the-pulse, homegrown comedy.
At the helm of CHO’s creative achievements is General Manager Kevvy, a multi-talented producer with multiple Juno wins and several nominations to his name. He has also collaborated with comedy heavyweights such as Dan Soder, Colin Quinn, Sophie Buddle, and Gavin Matts, further solidifying CHO’s reputation for excellence.
CHO boasts an impressive catalog of 43 releases spanning stand-up, sketch, and music from 2016 to 2024. In 2023–2024 alone, the label produced 6 comedy specials, with four more albums paired with specials slated for release in 2025. Over the years, CHO has hosted more than 70 live shows, featuring over 175 comedians, and embarked on two successful Canadian tours, cementing its presence in the live comedy scene.
The label’s achievements have garnered 3 Juno Award nominations, including the 2022 Comedy Album of the Year win for Andrea Jin’s Grandma’s Girl. On the digital front, CHO has amassed over 4 million views on YouTube through stand-up clips, sketches, music videos, and short films. Its social media presence is equally remarkable, with 20k Instagram followers generating 32 million reel views and 137k TikTok followers, racking up 4.2 million likes and 20 million views.
In addition to its creative successes, CHO has partnered with industry leaders like SiriusXM, Live Nation, Modo Live, Canada Pride, and Yuk Yuk’s Comedy. These collaborations highlight CHO’s growing influence and commitment to expanding the reach of Canadian comedy.
