Carrie T Review of Yuk Yuk's Toronto

This place caters to the lowest common denominator. At last night's show tables were literally flipped and fights broke out as a result of an over-served crowd (although my section was the default dry zone because the server just never came by). The situation was made worse by an inflammatory and unfunny headliner - who rather than trying to diffuse a situation only escalated it.
I understand that my humour won't always align with comedians but here a "XXX" headliner apparently means personal attacks, hatred towards women and a self-entitled unclever guy on stage we're all supposed to be subjected to and show our "respect" to.
Yuk-yuks has always been the "lesser" comedy venue in Toronto but I have still enjoyed it for what it is I'm the past. After a half-chuckle with one of the openers and the start of a bar fight we walked out and won't be back.
