Went to Yuk Yuk's before COVID and never got around to reviewing the experience until now. Yuk Yuks as a comedy club is great, nice place and cool atmosphere, but the show we saw wasn't good at all.
So packed we were crammed in between other people and never managed to order a drink for the 2 hours we were there.

Make sure you don't see the show "Your Hood's a Joke" that happens about every month - simply because it isn't funny. They consistently (and I mean like 20 times) warn you that it could get very raunchy and to not take anything personally and then proceed to deliver the lamest "offensive" jokes (if you can call them that) that my girlfriend and I have ever heard. Also almost every comic was reading their own jokes that they wrote from a notebook or their phone on stage, which basically took away from the fun when after every other joke they're flipping through pages trying to find another one. The jokes and subjects were so specific that you'd have to know the Toronto streets or neighbourhoods sooooo well in order to fully understand any joke (or find it funny) - which made sense as to why the whole crowd was dead and only laughed for the opener of the show.

All in all the place is great to see comedy as a whole but I would fully suggest not wasting your money on Your Hoods A Joke, learned that lesson the hard way.
