    Colin Jost was just OK

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

    Colin Jost was a bit disappointing. I had heard a lot of his jokes already from him being a guest on late night TV. Colin seemed a bit unprepared so just went back to old jokes. I thought he would have been practicing for the Emmy's but didn't seem to be the case. I did like the end where he told jokes cut from SNL. I really like weekend update but not sure I'd pay to see him again. And the kid who opened for him was unfortunately too young for the crowd in SF. Not funny. Weed jokes are tired.

    Colin Jost was incredibly funny!!!

    by Anniefannie58 on 7/23/18Seminole Casino Coconut Creek - Coconut Creek

    We saw Colin Jost at the Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek, Florida, in the middle of the hot, humid summer. His opening line about his agent asking him about wanting to perform in South Florida during the peak of the heat just about made me fall out of my chair! He delivered his jokes with ease, and received laugh after laugh. He also had a boyish cuteness about him, which was an added bonus. His act was clean, which goes to show you don't need to be filthy in order to be funny. Catch his show if you ever get the chance. I'm glad I did!

    by clubsouth on 7/17/18Seminole Casino Coconut Creek - Coconut Creek

    Great show!!! Colin was witty and very funny!! The warm up guy was a little odd....not really funny with pretty offensive topic......pedophilia?? Not really a cool thing to joke about.

    Folding Chairs

    Never Again

    by Anonymous on 7/17/18Seminole Casino Coconut Creek - Coconut Creek

    The venue was horrible. Walking through a smoke filled casino to get to the theater was truly disgusting. The opening act was just plain vulgar and Colin Jost is much better as a writer and an anchor on Weekend Update. Stand up comedy is not his strength

    Colin's the man

    by bhuggon on 10/31/17The Wilbur - Boston

    There's a reason he found his way out of the writer's room of SNL to a central act! Colin was so funny, relateable, improvisational, observational, and just political enough. Would definitely see him again!!!

    Alot of Recycling.

    by Lukeagggg on 10/31/17The Wilbur - Boston

    Funny show. I saw him in Ny last month at Radio City and he told alot of same jokes as if they had just happened in last few days which drives me insane.Alot of comedians do that i guess.Overall a funny show nonetheless.

    Colin Crushes It!

    by CeeGer on 10/31/17The Wilbur - Boston

    Delightful as always! Colin was amazing, he truly has a gift for comedy and great material. He's pretty easy on the eyes as well. It was a fantastic time, I laughed throughout the entire show. A lot! The only negative was the awful comedian he had opening for him -- I don't remember his name, probably because I blocked it out and it's not worth remembering. And I have no idea as to how he got that gig; he hasn't a modicum of talent whatsoever. I love all sorts of comedy but he was totally offensive and just not funny at all. Really disappointing, and I almost subtracted a star from my review but didn't want to detract from Colin's awesomeness.

    Colin Jost - very funny!

    by TheWillandWay on 10/29/17The Wilbur - Boston

    Colin Jost (Weekend Update co-anchor on SNL & sketch writer) is worth seeing live. Colin has become much more comfortable and deserved to be headlining his own show. I could have lived with out the gentleman whom opened up for him (do not remember his name). Thankfully, Colin came-out and delivered a very good stand-up show. He is well worth seeing and was truly funny from start to finish. Loved him talking about one story that has father called him and came-up with (to do with Jarred from Subway) along with his ideas for sketches to go onto SNL. A great night out, thanks to Colin Jost!

    Colin is cool!

    by Khills987 on 9/4/17Turning Stone Resort Casino Showroom - Verona

    Colin Jost did not disappoint for a second. We, my husband and I, laughed a solid hour+. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to see him again. Fun and worth the hour and half drive.

    Hunger is no joke

    by Pd3463 on 8/25/16The Pageant - St Louis

    Great venue. Good crowd. The talent was great. It was a well laid out show. My wife and I traveled five hours one way to see the show. We had a great time and were not disappointed.

    Terrible

    by Rus123 on 8/23/16The Pageant - St Louis

    Colin Jost, may have been good, but we were so bored with the first three comedians that we left shortly after Colin came on.

    Colin Jost Had a Great Set

    by billyhc on 6/3/14Civic Theatre - New Orleans

    Colin's a really good stand-up. Very present and interactive with the crowd. Endearing energy. The opener had a very short set and thus the whole show was over quicker than I expected. Still I was really pleased with how well it went since Colin isn't well known yet as a stand-up. Hope that more shows like this make Update even better when SNL comes back in the Fall.

    Great show, great venue

    by JohnStamos6000 on 6/2/14Civic Theatre - New Orleans

    I really enjoyed Colin Jost's show Friday night. He seemed to be working out a few new bits in the show which is fine with me considering the price was lower than most comedy shows in NOLA. Some of his material was a big hit with the entire audience while a few of the jokes only found a home with a portion of the less than packed crowd.
