New Years show with headliner Dana Gould. Venue good. Food very good. Opening host really funny. Dana Gould as the headliner did not go over well. He even admitted that he was hearing crickets. He missed the mark with the audience by spending the first half of his show on American politics and California fires.

We held our company Christmas party here on Saturday. The service was great, The food ok definitely not hot and the prime rim was very grissely with hard peices in it.

And where they had us seated was kinda far from the stage considering that we booked back in August, two of our tables c...

The talent we saw perform was phenomenal and made us have a great time but the food situation is abysmal. Would strongly recommend eating somewhere else before coming here. Not only is the food quality poor but portions for some items are very small. Many bars and restaurants charge $25-30 for nachos but at least you get a large platter. Here you only get a small plate. They offer 4 “types” of fri...

Always a blast coming to shows here. Food is surprisingly really good with lots to choose from (we had their tempura shrimp and flatbread pizza), drinks are solid and there's plenty of seating with good views even for sold out shows.

When is the best time to visit The Laugh Shop (Calgary, Canada)?

Shows run Tue–Sat year-round. Book holiday and weekend shows early as they sell out fast.
