A god amongst mortals

You really just have to be there for Chris' comedy. Immensely glad that I was.
Chris Fleming was amazing and had us in tears! Would love to see him again! Also want to shout out the amazing employees at the venue, specifically the women at the box office. We had a seating issue and were almost ready to leave, but they allowed us to change our seats at the last minute and see the show. Altogether an awesome experience!
At one point in the show, Fleming remarked that the mezzanine had a lot of energy and then later that we'd petered out and the energy had moved to the floor. As a mezzanine guy, I can tell you we quieted down because we were all recovering from laughing so hard. My face hurt from the police animal bit. The Hatsational story put it over the top. What a great set.
I was a little skeptical about seeing an internet performer, as they don't always translate well to live, unedited performance, but this show was hysterical beginning to end. Definitely an insta-buy next time he's in my area.
If you love yourself, prove it by treating yourself Chris Fleming (also on youtube). He's absurdly witty, queer as can be, and has a heart of gold as shiny as any one of his outfits. Before you see one of his shows, be prepared to witness a masterclass in utilizing the English language, the human body, and basic slideshow software to spin mundane experiences into hilarious epic tales that will make you wonder how it is that you and Chris exist in the same world. P.S. His songs will catch you off-guard in the best way. ❤
Laughed so hard my face and chest hurt for a few hours.
Chris is such a blast. Will see him again first chance I get.
Chris Fleming was the funniest show ever, 10/10, love him! The Varsity theater in Dinkytown Minneapolis is a beautiful space, but they jam-packed it full of back-beaking little plastic chairs. I am an average size woman in my 30's in perfect health, and I had to twist into a pretzel to keep my spine from being ground to dust, and to keep my body from squeezing TOO MUCH into that of my neighbors. We were packed like sardines, so tight in every direction that leaving your seat was unthinkable once the venue had filled. These are extremely solvable problems. At the very least, please space your (hopefully new) chairs out by at least another inch each. It would improve your customer experience so, so much.
Chris knows his audience and they know him. I laughed the entire time.
