Great event
by Chris on 1/24/24The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoI was familiar with Brett's work from his podcast and his TV work, but wasn't sure what to expect from his stand-up. I really enjoyed it. The venue is what we've come to expect from the Chicago Theatre, going to shows there a few times a year in most years. It's a nice venue, but the amenities aren't anything special. You're there for a show, not to be wow'd by the food, drink, merch, or bathrooms. The seats aren't luxurious, but they aren't uncomfortable for me as a bigger person (over 6-ft tall). There are some seated venues I avoid, this isn't one of those. One point left room for improvement: the ushers were very good about enforcing the "no phone/no recording"rule, which I appreciate, but part of that meant leaving the back-of-the-aisle doors open for much of the show. On a cold January evening and with some light and noise from people in the lobby bleeding in, both I and the person with me noticed it was a bit of a distraction and took a little away from our enjoyment of the show. We were probably about 8-10 rows from the back of the section, so something to keep in mind if you're in one of those rows. Not a major issue, but worth noting.
