    Jost is the Most

    by Magic Marker on 6/6/22The Paramount - Huntington

    Colin Jost gave a very long concert which was great. He is a guy who's comedy is cerebral, subtle and smart, much like his SNL persona. Thoroughly enjoyable but don't expect deep belly laughs. He's not Mel Brooks, which is fine. As for his pre acts. The MC guy from Brooklyn was very funny but the 2nd guy, not so much. Parts of his act were, most was not. All in all, a very fun night. Paramount did a good job managing the first show departure and getting the late show public in and settled. I just wish these programs weren't so expensive.

    better without the openers

    by Kelly on 6/6/22The Paramount - Huntington

    The two openers left something to be desired. The first guy’s humor was just explicit and gross, definitely something I thought I’d sign up for for Pete Davidson but not Colin Jost. The second one was just… not funny. But Colin overall did a very good job.

    Good Time

    Disappointing

    by K on 6/5/22Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center - Red Bank

    Totally unprepared, like a kid who forgot to do his homework. Lots of random jokes, several bits that he abandoned midway because they were falling flat. Lost the audience completely when he expressed sympathy for Louis CK. A painfully awkward performance. Jost needs to do the work before going on the road.

    Brilliant, clever and so entertaining

    by Michele on 6/5/22Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center - Red Bank

    First act was good, second a bit of a disappointment but Colin was awesome. His way shucks down to earth delivery and his true comedic genius was on full display. Only disappointment was that it was over way too soon and that is not to say he didn’t do a long set. Time just flies when you are laughing that much!

    Fun show

    by Cathy on 9/23/19St. George Theatre - Staten Island

    The comedy show was fun and entertaining. All the comedians were great, especially Sal Volcano, who had me laughing so hard.

    Michael Che and Colin Jost are the bomb

    by Steven Lowell on 9/22/19St. George Theatre - Staten Island

    I loved the show and it was so awesome to see Colin Jost and Michael Che out here on Staten Island.

    I had an excellent time!!

    by Valencia on 7/16/19MGM Northfield Park - Center Stage (formerly Hard Rock Live) - Northfield

    I enjoyed myself at the show. Colin and Andrew did an amazing job. I was laughing so hard, I was coughing. It was worth the 200+ mile drive from Cincinnati to Cleveland. I’m so glad I came. I’d gladly do it again.

    SNL experience on Friday Night

    by J. K. on 7/15/19Sands Bethlehem Event Center - Bethlehem

    We saw Colin on Friday at the Sands Bethlehem, great venue, intimate crowd, Colin was very funny, sensed just a wee bit nervous, which was nice and then he got comfortable. Did a lot of jokes not related to politics which was appreciated and lots of personal stories/jokes. Did a great joke about T-Shirts and WW2, hopefully he will read and chuckle!! He also did some real funny stuff of things he pitched for SNL that didn't make the show, if only they did!! will see again.

    Expected More

    by at the sands on 7/15/19Sands Bethlehem Event Center - Bethlehem

    I do not recall an 'opening act' being advertised. He was OK tho. I know this is 'old fashioned' but when I spend lots of good money to see a concert or an act, I dress 'properly' for the venue. Looking at the audience, I was definitely in the majority. However, the two acts were dressed identically -- gray stretched out t-shirt and old jeans. I totally expected more, especially from Colin Jost, who by all accounts, knows how to dress. Again, he was good but not great and I expected more. I would not return to see him in the future.

    Not bad, not amazing

    by Jeffk on 7/15/19Sands Bethlehem Event Center - Bethlehem

    I really like Colin on SNL so I expected to enjoy his stand up and I did. I already like the Sands Casino for any show, they wisely don’t make you navigate through a smoke filled gambling floor to access the event center and they have a great bar on site. I had front row seats which also helped the experience. Colin is pretty laid back and no doubt funny, just not among the best stand ups. Venue was far from packed and tickets were priced accordingly so all is good. Saw Bill Maher at the Met a few weeks ago, he’s at a whole other level!

    Kris Fried is so funny.

    by A concerned citizen on 7/15/19Sands Bethlehem Event Center - Bethlehem

    I liked the venue parking, and that there was a place to charge your cell phone before the show. Five stars for the venue. Kris Fried (the opener)--so damn funny. Very smart humor. Five stars for Kris. I didn't like that CoJo mentioned Natalie Portman for no other reason than trying to make himself look cool. Spoiler alert: he did not. I think she is overrated. Plus, he should clean up his act. Two stars for the headliner. Three stars is roughly the average between Kris's stellar performance, and CoJo's mediocre one.

    Not very good.

    by P. M. on 6/28/19Mystic Lake Casino Hotel - Prior Lake

    We were hoping that Colin would be more witty, but his humor was rather sophomoric. It was bad when his opening bit was reading reviews about the Mall of America.

    Funny show

    by Annabanana on 6/25/19Mystic Lake Casino Hotel - Prior Lake

    Hi, Colin's show was very funny but I was looking for a little political humor since he is known for his political commentary. The warm-up comedian was funny, too. I enjoyed the segment at the end of the show about ideas for skits for SNL that didn't make "the cut". Hopefully, we will see some of them in future shows!

    Amazing

    Colin is funny and adorable as always. Wilbur theatre is a little snug but the show was great!

    Colin Jost Relaxed and Funny.

    by mkeiafb on 8/27/18Uptown Theatre Napa - Napa

    Colin did a relaxed but very funny standup set and had a good opener who was a writer for SNL.

    Great wit

    by good2gotoo on 8/26/18Uptown Theatre Napa - Napa

    Colin Jost put on a very clever and funny show . We believe that his is one of those Intriguing minds like Robin Williams and George Carlin.

    Hissing

    by JuniJun on 8/24/18Marines Memorial Theatre - San Francisco

    Colin was solid, you know what’s a real bummer though is the audience. Take the stick out of your ass. Comedy shows are getting harder to enjoy because some people in the audience ruin it for others
