Craig Shoemaker Tickets

Hilarious as usual. Sat front row, but forgot about when he goes into the crowd asking (forcing) the men to make the machine gun noise they made as a kid while playing war. Was praying he wouldn't pick me; fortunately he picked the other guy sitting at our table... Word of caution for anyone seeing a show at the Balboa Theatre: there is some serious AC being pumped out from under the stage. If you sit in the front row (at the tables), make sure you like it cold or bring a jacket. BRRR!!!

When this show was announced, the only thing I knew about Craig Shoemaker was that he used to be on the Howard Stern show sometimes. Figured I'd roll the dice and buy a couple of tickets, since they were fairly cheap ($22.50 face value for the front row). I'm so glad I did. Not only is Craig absolutely hilarious - I literally had tears in my eyes - he also performed for more than two hours straight, with no break. This guy is worth every penny, and I absolutely recommend his show to anyone, especially those who have not seen him before.

HILARIOUS!! Loved every minute of it. At the end of the show, my faced hurt from laughing so much!

This show was fantastic. It was funny from beginning to end. I never laughed so hard for so long. It was never dull. Great, great show. Making fun of the men up front with their machine gun impressions, the references of things for the 20yr old to look up because they were before her time, all so witty. There were so many funny, funny skits, thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. I took my parents to see this for my Father's birthday and we all had such a memorable time, one that we will never forget. Thank you Craig for a fantastic night out.

This was our first time seeing Craig. When we received the tickets (as a gift), I made the decision to not look him up or watch any of his on-line videos. I wanted all of his material to be fresh when we saw him. My husband & I were not disappointed! As frequent visitors of comedy clubs, Craig put on an excellent show & had us laughing from beginning to end. I would most definitely recommend others to attend a showing. I, personally, enjoyed his "reliving the past" most of all. It's amazing how many young people today don't even know about the simple things from the "not so distant past"! Of course, The Love Master, well.....that speaks for itself! Good material!

This guy was very funny.......very current! Had me laughing from the start. Reasonable price for a two hour show as well!!

I thought the show was great. Not a whole lot of new material, but still fun.

First time I've been to this venue, only problem was that a couple of times during the performance there were extraneous noises coming from the PA that distracted the performers. Craig put on a great show, a time-machine mix of familiar material with the new. Barney Fife and the Lovemaster, his best character, were well represented, and to explore comedy where "Whitey" couldn't go he channeled Chris Rock quite well for more outrageous vignettes. Craig finished up with his great audience participation schtik, Playing Army which is guaranteed to give you stitches as male audience members relive their childhood days at play mimicing machine guns, most often with poor results, especially while convulsing in helpless laughter. Craig was very personable after the show with autographs for his materials being sold in the lobby and to meet and greet fans, and handing out contact information for his facebook pages, website, and other modes of connection. We traveled 150 miles round-trip from New Hampshire and it was well worth it.

This was the most fun I've had on a night out in a long time! Start to finish, this is the most amazing comedy show. Craig takes the stage and immediately starts the side splitting (and I am still sore today). Whoa...Love Master! That, of course, is his most well known bit, but the entire lengthy show was a riot. This guy does not disappoint! We'll plan to catch him every time he's in town.

Craig is one of the giants in the comedy industry. His act is ever changing with fresh new material. I have seen him four times now live and this last show was absolutely his best.

Introduced girlfriend, her sister and brother in law to the antics of Craig and they loved the show. Two hours of non stop laughing. Can't wait to see him again.

Craig was funnier than i've ever heard him. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. He had a lot of material i had never heard before, and of course his impressions were as amazing as ever.

Craig put on a hilarious show. Laughed my ass off, especially at his "Lovemaster" routine. Definitely will see his next show. Brett, not so much.

This is the second time we've seen the "lovemaster". This guy is FUNNY! Brett Butler - not as funny.

Craig Shoemaker was just terrific. He held the audience in the palm of his hand for about an hour and a half. I've been a fan of his for almost ten years and he has never been as good as he was at this performance. He's re-honed a lot of his signature material but has expanded his repetoir extensively. He is a terrific comedian. Brett Butler however, who opened for him was close to awful. She failed to win the audience over. Her material was all worn out and mildly amusing at best. She got a few laughs but it was embarassing to the audience how poorly she was doing.

We saw Craig Shoemaker and Brett Butler at the Newport Yachting Center, Newport, RI last night. What a GREAT show. Brett Butler opened and was on for about 30 Minutes. What a great way to start the show. Craig Shoemaker was on immediately following and was hysterically funny! At one point I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face! As he said - we all need to laugh more - and he provided exactly that! Much fun and laughter! I would definately go to see either of them again and will keep my fingers crossed that he comes back to Newport next year!!!

It was the tirst time I had seen either comedian and I was very impressed with Craig. He had us all laughing from beginning to end. Brett, on the other hand, was a dissppointment. She was very confusing -- going off in three different directions at the same time. She wasn't very funny. I loved watching -- Grace Under Fire -- and thought she was the head-liner of the duo. I was mistaken and relieved.

We became familiar with Craig Shoemaker while living in SoCal several years ago. We saw him a few times and loved his routine (altho it was a bit repetitive). This show was hillarious! I can honestly say I had a side-aches from laughing so hard during Craig's almost TWO HOURs on stage. He throws in a little of the LoveMaster stuff for old times -- but the rest of his material is funnier, IMO. He is quick on his feet and does a small bit of interactive with the audience that was a real HOOT. If you want to relax and enjoy a couple fun hours - go to this show! I also liked Brett Butler a great deal - altho her portion was pretty short. She seemed a bit nervous - perhaps just returning to her act. GO TO THIS SHOW!

Forgot how funny Brett Butler can be; enjoyed her immensely. Craig Shoemake is a hoot! He had tears rolling down my face. It felt so good to simply laugh outloud a lot. He certainly is one of my most favorite commedians. First heard him on Sirius Radio; try to catch him whenever they play one of his routines. Wish they played him more. Thanks for a fun-filled evening.

Craig Shoemaker's show was unbelievable! I haven't laughed so hard in years!!! It was quite the break needed during this very trying economic time. Craig asked the audience if we needed to be anywhere because he ran late. After we all declined he kept the showing going and kept us laughing our butts off! GREAT show, highly recommended and can't wait for him to come back into town! I feel bad saying this but Brett Butler and the guy before her were just ok.
