I'll be honest: Yuk Yuk's is hit or miss. Sometimes it's a gut-bustin', teeth chattering, belly grippin' good time. And sometimes it's a time wastin', body achin', date snoozin' kinda time. But here's the thing: If you happen to go on a good night, it's flippin' fantastic. Some of my fondest memories of nights out on the town include a date at Yuk Yuk's. Some of the acts are so hilarious that I wonder why they haven't been snatched up by Second City or Just For Laughs.
What's fun about Yuk Yuk's is that not only is it a comedy club, but it's a great place to socialize with your date. Generally when doors open, you have about an hour or so to just sit, chat and drink. The atmosphere is nice and the location is classy because it's right inside a hotel.
Yes, some nights are 'bad nights' at Yuk Yuk's, but I'm willing to risk it. If for every 3 great nights, there's a bad night, who cares? As long as I'm with good company, how bad can a room full of people who are lookin' for a good laugh really be?!?!?
