Yuk Yuks: "Stand Up Comedy" Top 5 Page for this destination Ottawa Nightlife Tip by jamiesno

Steve Patterson begain full time stand up comedy in 1996 after being fired from his full time job as an advertising copywriter for shamelessly trying to inject humour into an ad for an amusement park. He has been described as a though provoking al around entertainer that connects very personally with every audience he faces. Steve has made several national television appearances on CTV's Comedy Now, CBC's Halifax Comedy Fest adn CBC Radio's Madly Off in All Directions and has tour several times in Ireland and the UK since 1999.

I give you the write up on Steve just to show that at Yuk Yuks you are going to get quality laughter, LOL! Also with Steve on the night of my visit were Derek Seguin and Mike Nemiroff two more funny guys.

This was my second visit to a Yuk Yuks performance. The other being in Toronto. This one was less provogative but still funny, hehe. Yuk Yuks in Ottawa is located in the Capital Hotel and for a night out, if you want to start the night off with some humour I highly recommend it.

It was interesting to compare Ottawa and Toronto in a sense. In Ottawa you can expect a lot of government overtones. I guess the comedians figure the people in Ottawa don't get enough of the government during their work days!
