Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really good night out in the old Planet Hollywood Restaurant on Haymarket. Good diverse comedians and a relaxed atmosphere for post show cocktails. Would definitely go again and recommend to others.

My friends and I went to the Saturday night show on 24th February… it was a great night filled with laughter.
The host and all the comedians were excellent and, although their lines could be controversial at times (hey, it is comedy!), all their material was hilarious. Each comedian brought their unique style to the stage, keeping the energy high throughout the show.
Whether you're a comedy aficionado or just looking for a fun night out, this is definitely a night I would recommend. Prepare to laugh until your sides hurt and leave with a smile on your face. I'll definitely be coming back (kids permitting) for more laughs in the future!

The comedians were brilliant, as was the host. I have been to comedy carnival many times and it's by far my favourite comedy club. An evening of laughing is the best kind. :)

My first experience at the Comedy carnival, the whole experience was amazing, from a very welcoming staff to the most funniest comedians on stage, it was worth every penny for a night of laughter after a stressful day at work, or just a relaxing fun evening. Highly recommended. I would definitely go again for another night of laughter.

I bought my partner this as a Christmas present. We loved every second. The host was amazing and there were 4 acts each with their own style and funny jokes. The venue is really good and the bar was well stocked are good value! Definitely would recommend and be returning at a future date!!

We are going as a couple are the seats preallocated or is that only for larger groups?

We only preallocate seats for larger groups, but the earlier you arrive, the more choice of seating you will have. Doors are at 7pm and there is happy hour from 7pm - 8pm.

It's smart casual; I'm not sure what the shoe policy is. May be best to check with the venue. I saw people in shirts and shorts but didn't notice their footwear; sorry.
Is the show in English or French?

All the times I have been, the show was in English.
