Having started in the late ‘70s just a little outside Calgary, Yuk Yuk has delivered decades worth of humorous experiences you won’t get enough of. They’re located inside the Elbow River Casino, so if you’re looking for another form of entertainment while there, you know where to go.
Anyway, their acts typically change every 2 days or so. The comedy is gold – that’s a given. Though the comedic performances are highly praised, we heard that plenty of folks like their nachos too. It’s a great plate for sharing and offers a nice bar-type dining experience.
