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.

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.

Great mix! We went to see a headliner & we're treated to a few openers followed by a very funny leading act!!
Will return!

I went to the show on a Saturday with no expectations & I was pleasantly surprised how funny all the comedians were.

Been there twice. The ambience is great, their Montreal mule is a must. The comedians are funny & ensure you reach there on time to get the first seats. It's a whole different vibe being seated near the stage vs afar.
