I always wanted to see him,for the last 30 years or so,and finally did, it was well worth it.
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT AND SAW DON RICKLES AT THE VENUE. HE WAS GREAT, OUR SEATS WERE GREAT- WE HAD SUCH A GREAT EVENING!
Don Rickles is a living legend. A great treat to see him in person. He is still as funny and animated as ever. Great show.
Tickets were a gift to my parents. They loved the show. Don is a classic comic who continues to insult and delight audiences even after all these years.
He can sing, dance tell jokes and endear himself to an audience like no one i have seen before.
The Don Rickles show was fantastic. I'm just glad I was not sitting in the front row. The front row crowd were his pawns. They had a good sense of humor and ran with the bait. Great fun!
The entire evening was one fantastic experience! We parked our car, walked in to the casino, followed all of the marked signs to the "Venue", and we had arrived. The show began on time and Mr. Rickles came out with his quick whit and one-liners, one right after the other! He told the audience he was 83 years old......no one could believe it, he was sharp as a tack, and then some! After a while of doing his schtick, he broke into song, who know he could sing???? I was pleasantly surprised by this, and the evening was truly entertaining! I ALWAYS wanted to see him live, and boy did I get my money's worth! Mr. Rickles is truly a treasure, hysterical, funny, witty and entertaining, please everyone out there, go and see his show, you will NOT be dissappointed!
Rickles is one of the greatest comics of all time.
The show didn't start on time...but other than that, there isn't one other negative thing I can say. The Venue is an outstanding facility!!! Don Rickles can still bring it!!! Laughed out loud from beginning to end. He sang, danced, told stories, and involved members of the audience. One of the most entertaining shows I ever attended.
From the time Don Rickles stepped out on the stage he was funny. I liked the way he told jokes to the way he would sing his songs. I took my mom to see him as a mothers day present and she definitely was not disappointed with her gift. I told my friends all about him and know they would like to go see him. Mr. Rickels maybe of the older generation but he definitely could make this 38 year old laugh.
I SAW MR. WONDERFUL IN LAS VEGAS 2008 AND IND. 2009 BOTH TIMES -HE MADE NO ONE FEEL LEFT OUT OF ANY JOKES, MY EYES WERE CRYING AND MY STOMACH HURT OF LAUGHTER. I TOLD EVERONE THAT I SAW DON RICKLES AND I ENCOURAGED EVERONE TO GO TO THE SHOW IF THE NEVER WENT TO SEE HIM. MY THOUGHTS ARE THAT MR.RICKLES ,IS THE BEST COMEDIAN AND LAST OF A ERA OF THE RAT PACK CREW. I CAN T WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN WHEN HE COMES TO TOWN AGAIN ! THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH DON!
Rickles was onstage for 60 minutes. No opening act. Everyone looked at each other and said: that's it? Not worth the price. Get an opener next time!
This was my first time to see Mr. Rickles and I'm sorry I waited so long! I was kind of tentative about driving over 2 hours for a show but I thought what the heck. I was not disappointed! Within the first 2 minutes I had tears in my eyes - which for me is unusual! I'm not a big laugher but he was great! There was never a dull moment during the whole show which was close to 2 hours long if I remember correctly. He is still as quick witted as ever with fast comebacks and great singing voice!! I would most surely go again. This was the best show I've seen in many years!!!
Don Rickles is a nice man - with a wicked wit. His shows are ageless. He is as good today as he was in the Carson years. His performances are like a fine wine, they get better with time. If you like "old Vegas" you can't miss seeing Rickles.
To see the famous Don Rickles was a night to remember! He was superb! and super FUNNY! A class act after all these years! One of the last great comedians! of our time! A treasure that you have to SEE! A comic LEGEND!!!
First time at the Northern Lights theater - if ANYTHING remotely good comes there from now on I will be in attendance (best theater in Milwaukee). As for Don Rickles, there was/is nothing like it, PLEASE come back soon.
Second time we've seen Don... He is not only the liveliest 83 year old I've ever seen but he gives his insult t brand of comedy a sense of history with his references to his mentore like Sinatra. A strong 5 stars but one warning--do not getr a seat in the first few rows unless you wish to become the target of the master.
OMG!!! He was great ! Funny!! Contemporary and a true legend. He sold out the venue and it was great to see different age ranges enjoying this fabulous man.
Very good show. A little on the short side but Don did great considering his age. It is unbelievable that as much as he in politicaly incorrect that he has noot been in trouble. Great to hear a comedian with out hte use of four letter words. Would defintiley see again.
Don Rickles put on a great show. His sense of humor is still amazing even at his age.
