Last night, Alex Warren turned the Vogue Theatre into a chaotic group therapy session with a side of bangers. The Vancouver stop of his Cheaper Than Therapy tour was loud, heartfelt, weirdly personal, and totally entertaining.

From the moment Warren hit the stage at 9 PM, the crowd was all in. People were holding signs with messages like “We made Bloodlines hoodies” and “We loved you so much last night, we had to come back.” It was funny, oddly comforting, and sometimes a bit too real (talking about dead parents will do that). At one point, Warren asked everyone to throw on stage the gifts and friendship bracelets they had brought, and surprisingly managed to not get hit by any of it. That’s the kind of night it was.

The show was half concert, half live talk show. A fan was pulled onstage so that Warren could sign their leg and join 400 other artists’ signatures that got turned into a tattoo. One lucky young fan even got the mic to sing in front of everyone early in the show. It felt less like a performance and more like an extended hangout with a thousand-plus friends.

But don’t let the antics fool you, Warren can sing. He opened with “Burning Down,” setting a raw tone that carried through fan-favourite tracks like “Save You a Seat” and “You’ll Be Alright, Kid” (shoutout to the fan that organized 50+ signs that said Thank You For Reminding Us That We Will Be Alright during that song). His raspy vocals added grit to the sentiment-heavy setlist. The encore, “Carry You Home,” sent everyone out on a warm note.

It was not quite therapy, but it was for sure cathartic. Warren made it feel like your problems mattered, and then gave you a reason to dance through them.

American TikTok content creator and singer Michael Sanzone opened the show and got almost as many cheers as Warren.
