This was such a good time. Fred is a genius. I love how he thinks. It was a very fun evening!!
1. Knoxville is great 2. The Bijou is a beautiful and amazing venue 3. Fred is a one man show. Definitely the life of the party. Smart, worldly, and extremely talented, and funny as always.
not a belly laugh kinda show. maybe include a band for some of his songs or somehow link the jokes together.
The show was extremely short. I love his humor on Portlandia… but it fell rather flat in person.
Love Fred in Portlandia and Documentary Now! Hes great in everything. I love live music and while I am not a musician, so much of this was relative as I’m always at concerts and this was so relatable! My musician friend that came with me was dying! We had the best time. Cant wait to see it again!
It doesn’t matter what Fred talks about, he’s just naturally hilarious. It was a bonus to witness his musical talent and knowledge!
Took my 17 yr old daughter for her birthday and 40 minutes in we left because it was not funny. She said it was 2nd hand embarrassment it was that bad. Super disappointed as we are both huge fans of his from his SNL days.
Lots of Fun, laughed so hard and so much. It truly was a awesome time!
Fred put on an amazing show, couldn’t believe how fast time went by when they turned the house lights on. I surprised my wife for her birthday, left the kids with a babysitter. We were not disappointed. His blend of musical know-how and funny insights were really unique and hilarious. He also did an awesome job interacting with the audience. All around a really great show! Wish it was longer!
Fred Armisen is such a good performer, my fiance and I had just a good time! The show definitely caters to musicians, which we both are, and every joke warranted a laugh. We got to meet him afterwards and he was super down to earth. I will definitely see him again whenever he comes around!
My wife and I are huge fans of Fred Armisen and we happened to be in Philly the same weekend of his show at the Filmore. We were really looking forward to the show but were left pretty unsatisfied. Fred was only on stage for about an hour and as others have written, the bits were cobbled together without much thought. The guy counting time to songs was kind of a waste and the flag bit went nowhere. I would have much rather heard him do accents from around the US again. This was truly disappointing.
I saw Fred in Philadelphia--as expected, it was a super entertaining show that was appropriate for all ages :) I was also stoked that there wasn't an opener...we were able to get straight into the show. The audience was great as well and we even had a fun interactive portion at the end. Loved it!
Fred Armisen is so multitalented, blending comic wit and musical prowess into a wonderful show! His warmth and caring comes through as he engages with the audience making for an intimate feel to his show.
It was great to see one of my favorite personalities live on stage and I enjoyed his show. It was clever, entertaining and funny while still polite and clean. The musician who opened was not my cup of tea but the show was still very worthwhile. I wish the souvenier T-Shirts had a picture similar to the poster. I do not like that Ticketmaster forces you to use an app to get in the door. I had the box office hold a paper ticket at will-call instead.
Fred Armisen’s comedic genius never disappoints! He had us crying from laughing yet it was also a relaxing night out.
Fred was funny. This is the first time we have seen him live and we found him extremely talented, and we laughed quite a few times. It was an enjoyable evening when Fred took the stage. The downfall, and it was a major downfall was the opening act. We were right in front and I don't know if it was were we were seated but it was all guitar speaker and we couldn't make at all what she was singing. 35 minutes if this and she didn't open her eyes at all when she was singing. No connection to the audience. The reason I downgraded the whole show 1.5 stars was because she was supposedly a friend of Fred Armisen and if he gives her his platform as an opening at, then that is a reflection of his production. We almost left during the opening act because it was so bad. I'm glad we didn't becaus Fred was refreshing and funny. Great evening and loved the audience question and answer at the end. Fred is a good guy. Good clean comedy.
Great show, really enjoyed seeing Fred. I had seen most of the bits from his various appearances on late nigh talk shows. Hopefully he changes his act for the next time he comes around. I also would have been nice if there was better notice about the opening act. I would have shown up later to avoid the opening act. She was on stage for about thirty minutes. Other than that, great show and very funny.
Totally unique music-themed comedy. Armisen is charming and quirky and hilarious. I know nothing about music/composition/instruments so I was a bit lost at times, but it was still really funny. The venue was perfect for it, small but a great audience. Armisen is a national treasure.
We weren’t sure if it was more of a musical performance or stand up comedy but it was such an incredibly perfect and hilarious mix of both!!! Our sides hurt so much from how much we laughed!!! Fred Armisen is so ridiculously talented it’s almost unfair to everyone else. The mix of jokes, music, and just his incredibly astute observation of such small nuances in music and life in general just blew us away!!! Would go to another show of his in a heartbeat!!!
Loved watching Fred do his thing on stage. Such a fun experience.
