Review Summary

The Comedy Nest is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering an intimate and historical atmosphere that consistently delivers high-quality stand-up comedy with a mix of talented performers. Visitors frequently praise the affordable ticket prices and the overall friendly service provided by the staff, making it a popular choice for both locals and tourists looking for a fun evening. While the venue is appreciated for its entertaining shows and welcoming environment, some guests have noted drawbacks regarding the limited food selection, the lack of complimentary water, and the inconvenience of having to leave the club to access restrooms. Occasional complaints regarding seating arrangements, sound quality, and inconsistent service experiences suggest that while the entertainment value remains high, there is room for improvement in venue amenities and operational flow.

Saw the 90 minute show of 9 comedians. Some good some not so good. Great time with the family.

Is there a better investment than laughter? The comedy nest always delivers. Seriously, what's better than sitting in a room with other comedy enthusiasts & laughing together? Add an adult beverage to that served by an amazing staff member who treats you like a friend. It's my favourite thing to do in Montreal.

Quality line up. Good value for money. Did the 1030 late show. Say 6 comedians do their best for 10 min each ans was nice to get the variety.

We went on a Tuesday night when there a good mix of pros & newbie comedians. There was about 8 different comedians that night. Some better than others but we definitely had a good show. We appreciate the newbies doing something we definitely couldn't do. There is a parking garage underneath the building.

Show was good but they only have 2 snacks, popcorn & nachos, but there was no popcorn available. Drinks were good & reasonably priced but it is impossible to get a drink, took 35 minutes & we had to chase down the waitress to get a drink, she never came to offer us another, we had to get up & go find her to pay at the end of the show. They should get more bartenders & waitresses & be more organized.The bathroom is outside the venue in another location which is also annoying. At least there is $12 parking in the building.

Excellent comedy club. Tickets aren't expensive, drinks aren't overpriced considering it's a venue/an institution, friendly service... Cool place! Yes sometimes it's hit or miss, but that's comedy!
