I was feeling a bit out of strung on a Thursday night when my friend Rose made my day with a free ticket to a show. Located inside the Elbow Casino, Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club is kind of odd. It felt like I was walking into a hotel conference/meeting room when I expected to stroll into a pub/club because Yuk Yuk's was so well known across the city.
The table setup was kinda weird. It was all lined up parallel to the stage rather than the traditional single tables sprawled across the room. I felt like I was in school. This made it somewhat awkward for waitresses to come around for drinks and orders and could be visibly seen by the room.
Still I liked Yuk Yuk's. The comic acts of the night were great, talents from across the country that dropped into Calgary. The crowd was a bit cold and dulled out but the MC did an awesome job getting the crowd hyped up. I never got why people felt the need to heckle comics, it seems like people did it just to have the focus suddenly shift towards them in the room, silly reason to busts a performer's ball if you ask me
Overall a great show, I believe the headliner either won Comic of the year or was a contender, but the guy was HILARIOUS! Either way, SOOOO many dirty jokes left for me to steal...
