"Wow, baby, your eyes sparkle even more brightly than the rhinestones of an Ed Hardy t-shirt". (REAL pick up line, or a comic's attempt at a funny? You be the judge).
Duly impressed with Amateur night at Yuk Yuks (Tuesdays). Admission = $4. 2 hours of Humber comedy students refining their skills followed by open mic. For me, personally, the Humber students provided more groans than laughs, but there were a few real funny kids up there. The one singing about "After Breakfast Sex" is a legend in the making.
Love the venue. Typical comedy club set up - small, dark, intimate basement. It's small and the seating is arranged so that everyone is close within range of the stage. There were some booths at the back but you had to pay $20 extra to sit in a booth. Not so cool, they should just hand those out on a first come/first serve basis. Sheesh.
Drink selection was adequate and they had some food too. I saw some delicious looking fries coming out served in a large cone shaped hanging basket.
Will go back in search of some above-amateur improv soon!
