Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club “Amateur Night”, Calgary

Yesterday I went to the Amateur night at Yuk Yuk’s comedy club in the Blackfoot Inn Hotel in Calgary. The Club is situated in the Hotel so that makes it easy if you are not able to drive any more after all the laughing at the comedy club :). The place looks nice and the service is pretty good (even during the show) the only down side is that they seem to forget to ask some people what they want to drink. But enough about that.

We got great seating on the front row and of course if you sit on the front row then you know that there could be some laughing about you. And at least now i got it confirmed i am a Nerd

Amateur night is all about “new” comedians trying to make you laugh. They all get 5 minutes and that helps because some are realy BAD.

There was a comedian that made the whole evening come together by starting with jokes and introducing the amateurs. This guy (can’t remember his name) was pretty good and was able to get the crowed going.

The real deal is of course the amateurs and some of them are ok some of them are bad and one or two are great. I wonder why does an “old” guy keep making bad jokes about sex? And you wonder if they have an addition before they go on stage because one or two didn’t get any laughs out of us.

But luckily there are some that just keep the crowed laughing. The one that i was most impressed by was a guy called Tyler Gordon you could see it as soon as he stept on to the stage that those next 5 minutes would be great. He was just comfortable on the stage and he really got me to laugh out loud (something i don’t do easy).  He was almost as good as the closing act but that one was not an  amateur. So Tyler let us know when you have a performance in town again!

Let’s go to the conclusion….. Going to Amateur night at Yuk Yuk’s was time well spend. The nice thing is that you get to see lots of different comedians with all a different view of what is funny. So you would not laugh at all of them but there will be some that really get you to leave the place with a stomach ache from laughing.

I can really recommend you all to bring a visit to an Amateur Night but unfortunately the once at Yuk Yuk’s in Calgary are done for now but they will be back in September.
