Comedyworks

They’re reopening their doors as of February 5^th under new ownership. Time to check it out,

Sad news :(the comedyworks is closing there doors.
Montréal still has some other great choices but this one was at the heat of Montréal.

Wed night all stars… funny group with improv in between comics. Lots of laughs so I’d recommend it (we were on vacation there). Nice way to burn an evening. The host (owner?) was really funny also. I gave the comedy 4 stars, but the place is a complete step below a «dive». The whole place could do with a good steam clean and renovation/​update/​start over. I understand the atmosphere is for this kind of thing but really its just kind of gross. Not sure on a drink min, but we did have one each.

The Last Brick Wall in Town
The ComedyWorks is a Montréal institution, littered with comedic genius. I even heard their toilet paper rolls are made up of unused material found in the dressing room.
The stage is barely off the floor, the comics have the audience alongside, free to be ridiculed should they tank… heck, you can even see the red light come on when someone is almost out of time or getting the hook.
I was there recently, taking in Comedian Mike Wilmot (with my boy Abdul Butt opening… represent!) who put on an amazing show and said and I quote…“This is one of the last real comedy clubs”…coming from a seasoned comedian like Mike, it has to be true.
Try and find another brick wall in town with that kinda pedigree.

Ok so my update is actually based on about 10 minutes downstairs from Comedyworks at Jimbo’s Pub. Why? Because they have $ 4 Jagermeister shooters! I am always a fan of that. Oh — plus I went to check out Improv A Go-​Go upstairs. $ 5 cover and tons of frickin’ giggles. Improv rocks ’cause if they have a lame moment at least you know they weren’t rehearsing it in their bathroom mirror for weeks prior so it’s not awkward. Here’s their facebook link if you want updates.
