Review Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club February 10th, 2011

Kristeen von Hagen

Not sure what to expect when the theme for the show is “Love Court”, but the audience is ready and enthused. The MC for the evening was none other than Kristeen von Hagen, who has been hailed one of Canada’s Top 30 Power Women by Elle Magazine. Bouncing back and forth from clean TV friendly comedy, to edgier “after hours” television type material, von Hagen, had total control of the crowd right from the beginning of the show. She interacted well with the crowd during much of her opening set. von Hagen is a seasoned veteran and it shows.

Darrin Rose

The first “headliner” of the two proclaimed headliners Darrin Rose, a star of Video on Trial and NBC’s Last Comic Standing, which the crowd seems to embrace right from the get go. Rose, with his laid back attitude certainly seems to enjoy partying all the time. He must have mentioned partying in his set at least one hundred times. Rose had the crowd laughing right from the beginning of his set. His nice beard, nice trendy clothes and gold chain around his neck really seemed to make an impact with the young ladies in the crowd. His interactions with the crowd were fantastic. His style was different. Sometimes naughty while still keeping it clean all at the same time. The crowd enjoyed it very much.

EDDIE DELLA SIEPE

When Eddie Della Siepe walked on stage with slick greasy hair and his 4 foot 9 frame the audience seemed a little reluctant to laugh. They were not sure what to expect. The first couple of minutes of his set were touch and go. But five minutes into his set, something changed. He became a fabulous comedy force to be reckoned wiht. He was fabulous and the audience really embraced his boyish charm. Siepe has a knack of making the audience feel they are all part of the jokes.

All in all, a good show with a solid talent, everyone walks away with money well worth the show. Definiately a “WHAT TO WATCH” for Valentine’s weekend, and a special showing on Valentine’s Day.
