Howie Mandel on Tour
One of the most recognizable and reliably hilarious talents in show business for four decades, Howie Mandel is a comedy icon. His love of performing shines through whether he's delighting millions of TV viewers or sharing stories with the audience members who flock to the stand-up shows he performs every year in venues all over the world.
However busy Mandel may be thanks to his duties as a judge on America's Got Talent and as the host of Deal or No Deal, performing live has been the Canadian comic's greatest love since he began building buzz in the comedy scenes of his native Toronto and adopted home of Los Angeles in the late 1970s.
Each of his live shows highlights Mandel's incomparable skills as both storyteller and improviser, expertly mixing self-deprecating jokes about his life as a celebrity, husband and dad with ever-unpredictable interactions with audience members.
Howie Mandel Background
Thanks to his self-deprecating wit and irrepressible energy, Howie Mandel continues to delight audiences and win new fans four decades into his career as a comedian, actor, writer and producer.
While comedy fans have been loyal to Mandel ever since the Canadian comic first broke out of L.A.'s comedy scene in the late ‘70s, millions of viewers know him best as a key part of two of TV's most phenomenally successful shows. Between 2005 and 2008, he was the host of the NBC game-show sensation Deal or No Deal, returning in 2018 as host and executive producer for a new edition on CNBC. In 2010, he also became one of the celebrity judges on America's Got Talent and has since become the NBC talent competition's longest-serving panelist.
Mandel's other forays into television include his six-year run on the groundbreaking medical drama St. Elsewhere, the animated series Bobby's World and the reality-TV series Howie Do It. Yet live performance remains at the core of Mandel's busy career. In 2019, he showed off his enduring skills as a storyteller and improviser in Howie Mandel Presents: Howie Mandel at the Howie Mandel Comedy Club, his first comedy special in over 20 years.
Too much fun - even in a parking lot! Experience it
I have waited my whole life to see Howie in person. He did not disappoint. He was funny, his material was new and relevant. He did not let his surroundings control the show, (it took place in the parking lot of the casino). He took all the distractions with grace and even integrated them into his act and made them funny.
Howie can take whatever goes on around him and weave it into his act seamlessly. He is a great comedy act.
Our 7 o clock show was cancelled and we decided to stay for the 9 show and it was worth the wait This is my second time I seen him live and would tell anyone to go he is so funny and eye candy
The show was great, just had to wait for the 9:30 show because the 7:00 show was canceled because of problems at Air Port
What surprised us the most about Howie was how damn smart he was - bright - he just picked up the things going on at the venue, people in the audience, the spectators who were outside the wall and watching for free! He reminded me of Robin Williams and how he just adapted and went with the flow. Great show.
You couldn't have asked for more from his performance. Just funny from start to finish. He made it look as though this were the first time he did the material. Interaction with the crowd was great. He's quick, that's all I can say. We would definitely see him again. He's worth the price of the ticket. As for the venue, Valley View Casino was the exact opposite. Got there early and still no options to eat. Buffet and cafe were hours out in waiting. I hear the buffet is great, although we would never know. Nothing to go to in the area as it is in the middle of no where. Finally was able to get some nachos at the snack bar, but that was after standing in line for 45 minutes, then had to snag an open table when it finally opened. As for the seating, it was in the parking lot with shuttle buses passing every 15 minutes. Then there was the horrid smell of the local chicken ranches. Even Howie could not believe it. Getting out was insane. Just as long as the concert. One way out that had to allow for the passing of valet parking. We will never go to another concert here. Other casino venues are far better!!! Either way, we won't let it ruin the great time seeing this very funny guy. Way to go Howie!! Oh and thanks for the Howie Bobblehead!! You are part of the family now.
I'm still laughing! I find myself using his lines as my own as I go through the daily adventures of my life.
Recently, Howie Mandel performed at Valley View Casino. He was outstanding. Not only did he have his prepared material but he was also incredibly spontaneous with the audience and events happening around him. It was was one of the best stand up performances I've ever seen. Not the same Howie who appears on Deal or No Deal. A much more intimate entertainer.
Howie Mandel was hysterical! I laughed throughout the entire show. While parts were obviously scripted, he ad libs and is funny just off the cuff. Audience members, young and old, enjoyed his performance.
Fantasic funny show. Awesome entertainer. Would totally see him again.
We've always wanted to see Howie in Vegas but when this local event was offered we had to jump on it. This was one of the best comedy shows we've seen. Howie was all over the place and put on a great show. We've told all of our friends about it. We are trying to get a big group together for the next time we see him. And there will be a next time!!!
we liked Howie from the somewhat eccentric beginning of the show all the way through -- he is fast in his humor and his comments, knows how to improvise playing the public - sometimes pushing the limit on freedom of expression but always funny - a delightful evening it was.
Howie was in good form and his opening act was great too! The venue was poor. It's set up in a parking lot, just outside the Casino. During the performance, shuttle buses and other traffic were allowed to drive around the venue (it was the only access to the front of the casino. It was a distraction to the audience and even Howie made comments about it. In the parking structure, next to the stage, a car alarm went off....another distraction! The "final straw" was the wind change, which sent the odor of a chicken farm not far away, whafting over all of us. Howie's a "germaphobe" and it was obvious he didn't like it! I think he cut the performance short as a result......
This was one of the best events I have been to. I went with 3 other people and we didn't stop laughing all night. We were literally crying we were laughing so hard. One of the people that went with us rarely laughs out loud - and even he was laughing!!! Howie is really quick with his humor. I would absolutely go see his show again.
What a great show! I haven't seen his stand-up act in years and he is just as funny - if not funnier now. We had a great time!!!
