  • This is one of those times when I wish we could give half stars. A five star rating makes it appear that there's nothing this club could do to improve which honestly isn't true, but a four just isn't good enough to put across just how great it is. I'll start with the bad news: If you aren't seated in one of the large booths around the back and side of the room, your next option are long integrated tables down the middle which are less than ideal on packed nights, as it doesn't provide your group a lot of privacy (unless, of course, you manage to fill the table, but this is rare) and some people get a bit uncomfortable being seated at the same table as strangers in this kind of environment. The food menu is also slightly limited, and can be a tad pricey. But wow, do the shows ever make up for it. The Yuk Yuk's brand is the leading provider of comedy shows in Canada for a reason; they have a roster filled with the top talent in the country and have been known to pull in guest acts from outside of it as well. While this club may not have the reputation for pulling in "celebrities" that the competition does, what they DO have are real comics. As opposed to a guy who used to be on a sitcom years ago and now has decided to try his hand at stand up, you will get guys who've been doing it for 10 or 20 years, and have built their lives around putting together the best act possible, and it's hard to compete with that kind of quality. This isn't to say that sometimes one couldn't show up on a bad night, where the crowds just not into it and the "magic" isn't really flowing, but these happen everywhere, and at least here they are much fewer and farther between. Futhermore, the local talent that support these big acts as MCs, middle acts, and even the up & comers that drop by to do guest spots are the best in the city. I can personally say I know pretty much every comedian in Calgary and when I compare where they hone their crafts, Yuk Yuk's gets the pick of the litter. It's for these reasons, the great atmosphere, the awesome service and great staff that when anybody I know asks where they should go to see a stand up show I ALWAYS tell them Yuk Yuk's is the only way to go.
