Fred Armisen Tickets

A true talent doing something totally new and different.

I’m a big fan of his and when I saw the opportunity to see him live I thought it would be amazing and he was. Unfortunately, his opening act was terrible. We had to walk out.

He played canned music on his small computer. He did a drum solo. He talked a bit about instruments and made it clear the show was for musicians. And he said thanks for coming and ended the show after about an hour and eight minutes. I only laughed once. And I"m a big fan of Fred Armisen.

If you are a true Fred Armisen fan you will enjoy this show. It is not your typical comedian set so be prepared. His set is awkwardly awesome. If you like Portlandia and Forever then you should like this show. If you have a background in music that will definitely help you get some of the set. A lot of the jokes are based on different music genres and why he likes or dislikes them. He is a talented musician and plays different instruments the entire show. The comedian he had with him was hilarious.

Loved it! Fred was wonderful and the bijou was packed!

every second was incredible. exceeded expactations. don’t miss him.

This was such an awesome show! Fred was so funny and really engaged with the audience. He even tailored his show for a Knoxville audience my making east TN related jokes! 10/10 would recommend.

Such a great night of much needed laughter!! Fred was funny and personable and everything I expected him to be.

Fred was exactly what we expected & wanted from seeing one of our favorites in person. His bits were random & hilarious & the end when he took audience questions was really fun. Definitely see him!

Awesome show in an awesome theatre! I would love to see him again 😍

I love Fred, I love Portlandia. His humor and wit, as he points out the simplest aspects of everyday life stays with me and makes me LOL days later. I really wish I was friends with him, or at least someone just like him.

When I heard Fred was coming to Vancouver I was quick to buy tickets. I wish I had read the reviews first. I love Fred, he is so talented, however the show is hardly worth paying for. The opening comic was hilarious. The first 8 minutes or so of Fred's act was hilarious. Then it went downhill fast. When the audience Q&A began I left knowing there was no coming back from that. It was like being at a Star Trek convention- get me the hell outta here. Bye!

I'm usually not one for writing bad reviews, but sadly, I was disappointed. Missing Fred's spontaneous humor on Seth Meyer as he is rarely there anymore, I was quick to say yes when a friend suggested this show. I was expecting to see pure Fred unplugged with a night of standup comedy or at the least, improv which he does so well. Instead the whole show seemed like filler: guest comedian, multiple bands which weren't really my cup of tea, promotional videos, and a Q&A which was more informative than funny. I'm thinking Fred agreed to do the show but didn't have time to create content so he put this together. While I can appreciate that he is a busy guy, it is unfortunately not what was expected when paying good money for these tickets. We still love you Fred, but I hope there is another opportunity to get my fill!

The best part of the show was the first 15 minutes when he was talking about different types of music, and why he doesn't like jazz. Was boring to see him play music, and it really dragged on in the end with a long Q&A. His guest comedian was almost funny, but not quite.

I was really excited to see Armisen. I think he's hysterical. Except the show on Friday Nov 4th at the Town Hall in NYC was barely a comedy show at all. What it was was about 70% mediocre music, 15% videos with some comedy sprinkled in. If I was planning to see music in NYC on a Friday night, Fred Armisen wouldn't have even entered my mind. Boo on you Fred. I was so starved for comedy that I went to a comedy showcase in the Village later that night and saw 6 starving comics all funnier than Armisen.

Armisen was my favourite cast member in SNL. But his solo show is improvised (as in unprepared), unfunny and clueless. A huge deception!

He made us laugh during a political week when nothing seemed very funny! LOVED that part. Just wish he hadn't made us suffer through the punk rock band performances. That is not what I signed up for.

Such a pleasure to see Fred Armisen at the NYC Comedy festival. I expected him to be funny, which of course he was, but also was a supremely generous and collaborative artist who shared the stage with other comedians and musicians both live and in film clips creating a truly memorable night. As a fan, it meant so much that he clearly put tremendous thought into his show and it was a night I won't soon forget

He's a talented guy but I can't recommend him live. I didnt buy tickets to watch Portlandia previews

Look, I love Fred. He's one of my favorite SNL cast members ever and what he and Carrie do @ Portlandia is genius. And I think MOST of what he does is genius. I looked forward to his show for a long time and really *reallyyyyy* wanted to love his standup - the only issue is, it's not standup. It's not even comedy, and Fred admitted that himself in the show. If you go to Fred's show not expecting to do much laughing, then you may actually enjoy it. I'm not trying to be snarky or overly-opinionated, that's just true. For a comedy routine, there was very little laughing from most of the audience through most of the show. And Fred seems totally okay with that. He spoke a lot about obscure punk bands and NYC record stores from the 80's. He also brought out a couple of his 80's underground punk idols to play some songs with. He invited another emerging comic to the stage, he played some Portlandia sketches from the upcoming season, and he opened up the stage to Q&A at the end. The funniest bits of the show were the Portlandia pieces, by far, and were one of the few times the whole audience belly laughed. But the truth is we don't need to pay $70 a ticket to see Portlandia skits, we're going to see those for free in a couple months when they air on TV. If this show hadn't been part of the NYC Comedy Festival and had just been called 'Fred Armisen lives out non-funny fantasies' I could have completely gotten on board. I wouldn't have had high hopes for top-notch comedy. I appreciate that Fred was trying to be different with his show and I do think he put a lot of effort into it (despite showing clips and filling time with a Q&A) I just wish he would have focused that energy into making it funny. I still love Fred and will continue to be a big fan of his work, I just won't be buying another ticket to his standup.
