My first comedy show ever and it was the best experience. All comedians did their thing and had everybody in tears laughing. Definitely would go see again.
I loved it I hope to see him live in action again I’ll be there fs
I think the lineup was more funny than Desi. Their comedy seemed to flow. He needs to work on the sequence of the jokes. They should lead into the next. As the viewer, it seemed as if the lineup had more stage experience. Laslty, he could’ve been on time.
This was a total waste of my money & to have gotten floor seats at that. I’ve never gotten floor seat tickets before, but this whole experience was a waste of money. Desi just stick to your skits, because this standup comedy thing is NOT it. Highly disappointed. It was so bad, not only Desi, but the whole lineup, that i was falling asleep. The stuff was NOT FUNNY !! Won’t waste money like this again.
Wasn’t funny. There was no direction to the jokes. Comedian seemed unprepared and overrated. Could not handle the crowd. Very unfortunate however I’m sure Shreveport enjoyed just something else to do so I’m glad he stopped by.
You won't believe how hilarious Desi Banks was at his comedy show! The openers were on point, and the atmosphere was electric. Even though we didn't sell out the municipal, it was still an amazing experience overall. I believe it would be great if Shreveport could bring more events like this and promote them more widely. With the right marketing strategies, these events could reach a larger audience and create a bigger impact.
Desi Banks is a funny comedian. The opening acts were funny as well. I was disappointed at the turn out for the show. I also didn't appreciate the hecklers constantly interrupting the show. The lighting was also not the best.
The show was great Desi was awesome he did not disappoint me at all
It was a great experience for my first show it was funny in good to see
Couldn’t hear the jokes , jokes I did hear was not so funny. The center was run down .
I feel like he didn’t tell jokes, he was more talking to ppl in the audience ,cracking on them. Then telling jokes. The system itself at the place was outdated so we couldn’t really hear also.
If he passing through your city make sure you attend the event. A night full of laughter shall be your destiny..
I haven’t been following Desi Banks for long but this show was amazing. He was hilarious. Me and my girls had a great time would definitely see him again. Even the opening acts were good.
I really enjoyed the show !!!! I haven’t laughed so hard in my life !!!! Will definitely attend another show!!
The show was awesome! Desi was hilarious and so down to earth. He showed our city so much love and can’t wait til he comes back again. He was funny and everything was so nice and well put together. Will definitely see him again!!
This was my second time seeing Desi live on stage & he did NOT disappoint! I laughed so hard ! I also enjoyed Micah Tarver & Detroit Reid! They are all extremely talented comedians!!
Laughed from beginning to end! The comics before were great beginners also, especially Detroit Reid. I’m glad I went. Desi is a good performer.
Desi was great! Entertaining from the beginning till the end! I throughly enjoyed the opening acts as well! Wonderful performance guys!
He can. Change out his first comedian and use more of his skits from the web. But it was a ok show for the price
I had a great experience, great seats , good laughs, and great energy. And it was a great show.
