My first IYE with the new GTA intern Jeffery @ Yuk Yuks Mississauga. I have been going to this YukYuks for years and depending on the nights can be ridiculously funny or ridiculously bad. It is really one of those places that you take a chance on to hopefully be entertained.
My last experience here was a night where the comedian basically walked up on stage and said.."I don't want to do comedy tonight...FU all....later" and then walked off...hmmm I remember being pretty pissed because we just spent money on cover and drinks and then one of the main guys that night said that. On one occasion..I laughed so much that I couldn't hardly breathe.
The club itself is showing its age and an overhaul is much needed. The service is great and the servers are attentive and friendly. One thing I did notice is that during the colder months, there is a really bad draft circulating through the club, so be warned if you get cold easily..bundle up!!
The night of the IYE had around 8 comedians and 1 headliner. On Thursday nights I assume is amateur night and on the weekends is when the professional headliners come out to entertain. There were comics I assume were working on their show or trying out jokes, because either they were reading off que cards or the jokes were a little questionable. 3 out of the 9 comedians were actually quite funny and were on point. It was a good first IYE for Jeff P and I hope to see more IYE soon! as for Yuk Yuks ..I give it 2 Yuks..
