Review Summary

Reviewers describe The Comedy Nest as a charming intimate venue in Montreal, with a historic setting and a solid lineup of acts that can deliver great laughs at affordable prices, while the staff are friendly and the location offers easy access and nearby dining options. However some guests wish for better food options, more varied drinks, and upgraded facilities, with comments about the bathroom being outside the club and the interior flow being awkward, which can disrupt the evening. Several experiences highlight the value, the energetic atmosphere and the sense of community, making it a good weekend choice, though a few visits point to inconsistent service and limited amenities like snacks instead of a full menu, prompting some to return for the comedy but not necessarily for the food.

Il s'agit d'un petit comedy club avec un ambiance intime. J'enlève une étoile, car l'endroit pourrait être plus propre & un mieux aménagé. C'est difficile de circuler à l'intérieur, d'autant plus qu'on doit sortir de la salle pour aller à la salle de bain. Un meilleur aménagement des lieux pourrait faciliter les déplacements à l'intérieur. On a beaucoup aimé le spectacle qu'on a vus ainsi que la première partie. C'étais une belle soirée & on a vraiment apprécié d'avoir eu l'opportunité de voir ce comédien a Montréal! Merci pour l'organisation!

I recently visited The Comedy Nest & unfortunately, my experience was disappointing overall.

One major inconvenience was that the bathroom is not located inside the comedy club itself - you have to leave the venue & walk toward the arcade area to use the restroom, which really disrupts the evening.

The drink options were quite limited, & I was surprised that they don't offer a complimentary glass of water - you're required to purchase bottled water instead.

Service was also lacking. The waitress took only part of our order & rushed off while I was still speaking. When I tried to continue, she mentioned that other clients were arriving, which felt dismissive & unprofessional.

While some of the comedians were funny, it wasn't enough to make up for the overall experience.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend & would not return.

Went on Valentine's night with my partner, & we were both really disappointed.

When we were being sat, the employee brought us to a table with another couple & pointed to it, saying'you can sit here, they are a lovely couple'.

Given that we were at a comedy club coupled with the fact that there were about 15 empty tables nearby, I thought the employee was doing a bit. I half-jokingly said,'are you serious...?' to which the employee very abruptly said,'we are fully sold out tonight, so yes, I am serious'.

I looked around the room & gestured towards the several empty tables, & the employee shrugged,'I guess you can sit over there then'.

My partner & I walked ourselves to an empty table (which was surrounded by several other empty tables), & by the time everyone had been seated, there were still 10 or so completely empty tables. Very bizarre.

The drinks were good & well-priced, but we were disappointed to see the only food on the menu was a small basket of popcorn (for I think $7?) & nachos & salsa, for an equally absorbent price.

Overall, we won't be back as while the comedians were funny, we'll go see them at a different venue with better customer service & snacks.

# 5-Star Google Review for The Comedy Nest

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Fantastic comedy experience in a piece of Montreal history!**

Had an absolutely wonderful night at The Comedy Nest! The show was outstanding from start to finish. The MC was incredible - really knew how to work the crowd & kept the energy high throughout the evening.

The headliner, DJ Demers, was fantastic. Even after what seemed like a challenging travel day (which he brilliantly wove into his material), he delivered an amazing set. All the comedians brought something unique to the stage, but the headliner was definitely the standout of the night.

A note about the location - yes, The Comedy Nest is situated in The Montreal Forum, the legendary former sports arena that's now been transformed into a shopping & entertainment complex. The comedians themselves joke about it feeling like a'crappy mall,' & sure, there's an arcade next door, but there's real history here! You can still see elements like the center ice circle & original red seats that remind you this was once home to the Montreal Canadiens.

Here's the thing though - once you step inside The Comedy Nest, you completely forget about everything outside those doors. The venue itself creates the perfect intimate atmosphere for comedy, & the quality of the performances is top-notch.

Don't let the unconventional location fool you - this is a gem of a comedy club with fantastic shows. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great laughs in Montreal!
