Laughing in the face of danger - especially when that danger is a bear - can often lead to an untimely demise. Laughing in the face of a stand-up comic, however, is actually quite welcome, and rarely results in maulings. Develop a case of the giggles in a safe, relatively bear-free environment with today's WagJag: $19 for two tickets to a show at Yuk Yuk's (up to a $40 value).

Yuk Yuk's has been delivering Canadian comics to the stage since 1976, leaving trails of unbridled laughter in its wake. If you're brave, sit in the front row and see if you can keep your face from turning firetruck red as the comic pokes fun at you. Or, hide out in the back and laugh at the poor sucker in the front row that's being made fun of. No matter where you choose to situate yourself, you're guaranteed to experience many giggles, chuckles, har hars, hee hees or bona fide LOLs (the text versions are sometimes suspect). The shows are uncensored, so audience discretion is advised.

Just as there's no shortage of side-splitting laughter in the joint, Yuk Yuk's never runs out of different comics to feature weekly on their stage. Check out the website for updates about who'll be performing before you reserve your pair of tickets. Come to the show after dinner or grab some grub while you're there. (Please note: spitting your food out in a fit of laughter may not impress your date).
