5 stars for Jim 1 star for TD Place.
by Disgruntled on 2023-09-27TD Place Arena - OttawaRating: 3 out of 5Jim was Jim, hilarious, challenging, and we along with most of the rest of the audience loved the show. The venue is terrible, even Jim was struck by its weird layout. TD Place might be a great spot for a hockey game, but the vibe was more like a repurposed hanger than a theatre. The really tiny and packed-together seats were spead over, well, the length of a hockey arena with only about half of the seats being in line with the stage. Yes, there were screens but it did raise the question of why we had to sit in an uncomfortable space to watch TV. Navigating the concrete steps in the dark was dangerous, lots of tripping going on on the climb to the bathrooms. On top of this, Landsdown itself is hardly a welcoming location - no real transit, enough parking but it took 50 minutes to get out of the lot after we got into our car. Not Jim's fault, but i hope his team assesses future venues before locking in on places like TD Place.
