Very funny
Beacon Theatre - New York
John Oliver was fantastic. At times, his TV show can be a bit too much political humor for my taste, but this standup was excellent, non-political, clean clever humor.

Funny and educational
Beacon Theatre - New York
John Oliver and Seth Myers were not only funny, the comedy (especially John Oliver's) made you think. Plus I learned some things about the Royal Family that I didn't know. Great show by both - loved it!

As funny as ever
Beacon Theatre - New York
Enjoyed the show so much. He was hilarious both scripted and unscripted. Loved the dynamics with the audience and with Seth Meyers’s.

Britain’s loss
Beacon Theatre - New York
John Oliver’s show didn’t disappoint. He and Seth Meyers (and their opening comic) at The Beacon Theater were great! Each have a slightly different sense of humor, style and personality but nonetheless all were terrifically entertaining. Together they delivered a funny show. Also enjoyed their Q and A session that followed. Oliver is now an American citizen -yay- so definitely Britain’s loss!

Such a Great Show!
Beacon Theatre - New York
My husband and I are huge John Oliver and Seth Myers fans, so I surprised him with tickets to the show for his birthday. While we agree with their political views on their shows (obviously, or we wouldn't be fans) I was actually so pleased that there was very little mention of the current political climate of our country, and all the jokes were lighthearted and fun! Both performed for almost an hour each. My face and abs were hurting from laughing so hard. I loved how they both came out at the end to take questions from the audience, but unfortunately we couldn't stay for all of it as we had to catch the train home. But we had such a great time at the show!

Beacon Theatre - New York
The Beacon is beautiful. Special place. John Oliver is funny, relevant and thought-provoking. Brilliant set. Seth Myers also funny in a lighter way. Excellent balance between the two. Highly recommended.

Wickedly smart
Beacon Theatre - New York
John Oliver was on point -- as always, delivered wit and a "tsk-tsk", packaged in just the right way so that you felt that we're all in it together in the journey. Seth Meyers was approachable and likable -- wouldn't have minded for him to pack a bigger punch. Overall, they balance each other well and have you laughing from start to finish.

John Oliver’s stand up performance is even better than Last Week Tonight! Can’t wait to see him again!
