We visited yuk yuks a couple of weeks after reopening due to covid, so they did their best and the comedians were funny, but was definitely different due to only about 25 people in the audience. Bar service was good and the layout was the usual comedy set up (except altered due to Covid) Yuk Yuks is always a great time, so I would completely recommend to visit here always!

Small Venue equals not a bad seat in the house...Bartenders and waitresses were on point! Fast, ninja like service for drinks and food, all while show was happening. We walked a few blocks down Elgin from our hotel, residence inn, Ottawa. Wish we lived here so that we could go to more shows at Yuk Yuks!

Its our last night in Ottawa so we decide to check out the local comedy scene. Its an amateur night type showcase.
The entry fee was six dollars and for that we got to see at least 6 or 7 comedians.
If you are staying in the area definitely worth a look if you are into comedy

We took a group to Yuk's Yuk's which is now located upstairs at the Prescott Hotel and paid a $20 cover. They should have paid us to put up with the extremely uncomfortable venue - the local sauna at full blast would have been more comfortable. The "comedians", and I have to use the term lightly, were anything but funny. With one exception the lineup could not have paid us to laugh at their dialog. The "headliner" (what a Yuk!) spent his time badmouthing God, Christians and anyone who believed in a higher being and was about as funny as the proverbial screen door in a submarine. Timing was something he had yet to learn although he advertises that he has worked with some very well known international stars (Rossanne, Jay Leno). About half way through his miserable performance we left. I am not sure what was worse, the sad "comedy" or the heat. Either way, unless you are a masochist and really want to throw your money away, this is one place to miss.

Whatever you do, do NOT walk in there joking and laughing with your friends, as you will be automatically targeted by the owner as being “troublesome”, after which you will get numerous visits from the bouncer asking you not to engage or get rowdy ( which, by the way, we were stone faced because the MC was so terrible) to the point where, after constant harassment, we were forced to walk out before the main act came on. 🤔 Duh, we will NOT be going there again..... Thanks Howard for the poor hospitality 👎🏽

As part of a birthday celebration, eight of us reserved for the 2nd show on Saturday night - great little venue, with a diverse set of comedians and a host who delivers a ton of laughs. A nice surprise was a short but decent selection of wine - was not expecting this at a comedy club! Oh - and free entrance if your visit lands on the week of your birthday!

I was gifted 4 tickets from Dylan Black and Yuk Yuks Ottawa.
What an awesome show!!! It was the beginning of Greek week so there were two Greek comedians and on from Ottawa.
I would highly recommend this place. Service was great. We were greeted with enthusiasm. Overall very pleasant experience. Looking forward to going back.

We went to the Yuk Yuks amateur night it was on a Thursday evening and $5 bucks to get in. Very enjoyable evening, we had a plate of fries they were fantastic they also have other finger foods we thought all the food orders we saw going to other people looked very yummy. Recommend this cheap evening out for all ages over 19.

This place is excellent to enjoy a fun evening on a low budget. We paid $6 to watch upcoming comedians. Some were good and others not as much but still acceptable. Got a drink and some home made popcorn for a total spend of $15 per person. The place is not fancy, the chairs are a little bit worn down and uncomfortable but for 1:30 hrs it's ok. It is well air conditioned (not cold just fine) and ventilated. The place was full on a Thursday night.
