The Strip Joker Ottawa (Comedy + Stripping) concept is refreshingly simple. A skilled comedian takes the stage and humorously tests their audience by sharing jokes.

This continues until their performance concludes or they find themselves onstage in their undergarments. It's an innovative way for emerging comedians to refine their craft while experiencing the consequences of humor that falls flat. Rest assured, the entertainment value is guaranteed, whether derived from the jokes themselves or the playful antics that ensue. Each month's event embraces a unique theme, so attending in accordance with the designated theme of the night is highly encouraged. Don't miss out on the Ruckus, Baby!
