My friends always make fun of me because when we are at odds for things to do on the weekend, I tend to suggest going to the Absolute Comedy Club in Little Italy. For some reason it never really works out, so it may seem like I'm obsessed but I'm only suggesting it all the time because we never acutally go. I've been many times but always with random people and never really with any of my girls. This past Friday night, I was very excited because I finally convinced my good friend to come with me. I had been the end of a long week for both of us and we were due for some fun!

The Absolute Comedy Club
412 Preston Ave, Ottawa, ON
(613) 233.8000
To my knowledge, there are really only two main comedy clubs in Ottawa: Absolute and Yuk-Yuks. I have been to both and in my opinion, Absolute is way better with regards to pricing, seating arrangments/set-up, service, and comedic content. Saying that the actual comedians at Absolute are better may be unfair because comedy can be quite subjective; good vs. bad comedy often has to do with taste. However, I feel that I always laugh and enjoy myself more at Absolute. Absolute has great prices ranging from $8-$12 depending on the day of the week (Yuk-Yuks is $25). The service is usually quite good; however, on Friday I guess we had a new server because she was super slow and she spilled a drink on me not just once but twice. What really annoyed me was that she didn't even give me a free drink or comp something on my bill. Was not that impressed with her but it happens!
Anyways, enough bitching, the comedians on Friday were the best I've ever seen. Mike Paterson and Ryan Wilner were the headliners and if you ever hear of them performing somewhere, you should seriously check them out. On top of this, if you looking for a fun, cheap way to start your Friday or Saturday night, Absolute is the place to go. You don't need more then $30 which includes your seats and like 3-4 drinks. If you go, there is a high possiblity I will be in the crowd laughing my head off. Have fun!
