From the great folks at Terminal City, news that Yuk Yuks feels kind of possessive with its signed comics:
Sometimes jokes are no laughing matter. A local comedian who organises a monthly talent showcase says the Canadian comedy chain Yuk Yuk’s is warning it will ban any performers who appear at his show, something Yuk Yuk’s vehemently denies.
….Mike Breslin, General Manager of Yuk Yuk‚Äôs Vancouver, paints a different picture. He says only signed acts are not allowed to perform at The Cellar.
“We’re allowing everyone to play without any ramifications at all. Except paid people, people who make a living off Yuk Yuk’s, who are signed with Yuk Yuk’s,” he said. “I’m not prepared to supply my competition with my headliners.”
