Season
Comedy at Club 54
8.50 30 minutes Comedy at Club 54 is a Canadian television program hosted by Ben Guyatt. The show was produced from the early 1990s until 2002 and is now airing in syndicated re-runs on the Canadian Comedy Network. The show takes place in Burlington, Ontario at Club 54. The live performances still happen weekly, although new episodes of the Comedy at Club 54 TV show have not been aired since 2002.
The taped show usually begins with a zoom-in to host Ben Guyatt, who then reads the "Joke of the Week", which is a weekly joke ostensibly sent in from program viewers across North America. Typically, he will then throw the joke card behind him and say to the audience "Welcome to Comedy at Club 54!" This is followed by the opening sequence, audience applause, and the show's theme song, played by an in house band.
Ben Guyatt will then introduce the comedians, who over the years have come from all over North America. The performances are almost all of the typical stand-up comedy variety, but also include magicians, ventriloquists, vaudeville acts, comedy duos and musical acts. Every show features at least two comedians with a 12 minute televised spot, although the live performances are much longer and are edited for time.
