Love this place! It's amazing for live entertainment. They do comedy, magic shows & even live band karaoke here. I haven't been for karaoke but have seen comedy and magic plus a live Michael Jackson impersonator performance. The staff is amazing especially Steve and Khel. I got to meet one of the owners (Dave) yesterday & he is going to do a hypnosis show on December 17th! Can't wait! The only reason why I deducted a star is because they have gotten their organization to a tee yet. We ordered their nachos yesterday & watched it being brought out and back twice as they couldn't figure out which table ordered it so by the time it finally arrived, the cheese was cold and hard & melded everything together so it was difficult to separate (had to literally stab the pile with a fork). I also asked for a separate bill in the beginning as we were 2 couples but that did not happen. I asked for it to be corrected and told her exactly what we had but it still came back incorrect. I just paid for my friend's beer, no biggie. I'm sure they will get better with time and getting used to extremely busy nights which is what I'd like to see. The people (staff) there is the reason why it has easily become my favorite place! Also without having to drive all the way downtown and find/pay for parking. read more

With its infancy comes growing pains, which stemmed from a malfunctioning printer, so the kitchen and bar weren't aware they were receiving orders. Ultimately, this resulted in a 20-minute wait for drinks and over an hour wait for food, during a July visit. At first, we didn't mind waiting for food as their martinis ($15 each) were so satisfying. The French martini was dangerously smooth thanks to the sweet Chambord and pineapple juice mixed with the vodka, a lovely summery drink. The Lychee Loves Lips martini was a bit stronger with the addition of lychee liqueur to the vodka. Although, I was a little disappointed to a lemon slice garnishing the drink instead of lychee. Even a canned lychee would really add to the experience. As much as we loved the drinks, after waiting 45 minutes, we finally asked someone to check on the food. It was then they discovered the kitchen hadn't received our order and quick fired a complimentary bruschetta (not offered on their regular menu) to keep us satisfied while our meal was being prepared. We were thankful to have something to tie us over. I imagine they were rushing to send out food as the frito misto ($19) needed better draining to remove the excess oil and create a crispier flour coating. At least they were well seasoned, and the first bites super crispy and wonderfully hot. Being a frito misto, or a mixture of fried seafood, ideally the appetizer should contain more than a few shrimps. Alternatively, Jokers should consider dropping the scant crustacean and relabel this as fried calamari instead. With two simple tweaks, the burger ($19) could shine as it was tasty and incorporated fresh ingredients. Firstly, cook the beef to medium so the thick patty isn't so hard. Otherwise, if pink beef is not in the cards, chefs should form looser patties (so they are less dense) or switch it up and use two thinner patties instead. Secondly, nix the romaine (or at least the rib portion of the lettuce leaf) as the hard and uneven surface area causes the patty to slip and soft brioche bun to break. There's a reason why ice burg is so widely used. At least the fries were hot and crispy. My friend noted her steak was cooked to the requested medium rare but had a burnt taste. We figure it stems from two causes: either the pan/grill wasn't properly cleaned between uses (in this case, make sure they are cleaned) or the black pepper sauce covering the steak was burnt. If it's the later reason, to ensure the steak doesn't cool off or overcook, present the steak at the table first and let the customer know the sauce is being prepared again and will be brought separately. I would much rather wait for the sauce than have burnt tasting steak. Hopefully, as the restaurant matures, they will develop stronger front-of-the-house management or staff will become more cognizant of operations and communicate better. Indeed, businesses are reliant on technology, which causes havoc when there are issues, but seasoned personnel can mitigate or reduce the aftereffects. For example, I'm surprised it took us checking on our food for Jokers to figure out the kitchen wasn't getting orders. When they are approaching a busy dinner period and food isn't being ordered or coming out of the kitchen, shouldn't someone notice - either the kitchen, our server, or management? With the drinks, even after technology issues were resolved, we noticed my friend's second martini sitting at the bar for ~10 minutes before it was finally brought over. Our server was helping serve the Le Petit Chef dinner, but there were other people milling around the bar. Given Jokers operates two venues in one, management needs to be on the lookout for ready-to-serve drinks and food and/or servers need to communicate and ask others to cover when they are serving during Le Petit Chef periods. read more

Jokers Comedy Club - a cocktail in a martini glass - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Came here for two shows. The laughacadbra and Ian Sirota. It was a bit difficult finding the place. Driving in circles for a couple of minutes until we seen the signs. Had to park far but not really an issue. Must come in earlier to get good parking. The first show was alright. It was a bit awkward and cringeworth but the other acts were great. Ian Sirota wassssss sooooo funny. He owned the stage and I left with my cheeks sore from laughing. Alex is opener was also super funny. Enjoyed him a lot. Great show. Will come back again for sure! read more

Not even deserving one 1 star. If I can write a review with no stars, I would have clicked it to start this review. Don't waste your money. As it will cause you more grief that enjoyment! We called to schedule for a party of 6 over a month ago after we booked online and the reason that I called was to ensure that we can be arranged to sit together. We were instructed to call the week of August 8 (which I even set a reminder on my phone to do that) to remind them that we are sitting together as a party of 6 and during that call it was no problem. Even the morning of today, they called and I confirmed that our party of 6 will be sitting together and they informed me that they made a note on our reservation. Upon arrival, it was then they told us it's "no guarantee" and first come first serve. The manager's attitude was awful! There were two tables that can fit party of 6 and they were like those table goes to people with kids. They ended up placing two of my friends on another table sitting with some stranger and his kid facing their back towards us. No integrity of words and poor arrangement. Utensils, my friend had to hold it as we were eating and waiting for the second course. Like a statue of some sort holding his knife and forks. No small plates to put it on. We will flag the waitress down and will get another napkin to place our knifes and forks. The chicken was stuffed with goat cheese, I didn't enjoy that at all. The steak wasn't cooked according to our request. You will actually feel very rushed during the whole meal, as they are always eager to switch plates and start another course for the next projection and the next seating that they have. It was very packed. It's so packed that the servers cannot access everyone, my husband was handed the dishes throughout the whole night. It definitely made him felt like a part of the team! Le Grande Chef! While I felt like I was a sardine in a can and at a lunch rushing back to work. If you order drinks, it's separate pricing and another 18% automated gratuity. Overall for this price point, the type of entertainment how after multiple confirmation and they just disregard or seating arrangement and food. I did not enjoy this at all! Many other dinner options I could have gone to. read more
