Loved her!!! She is so intellegent and funny. She is also very human and relatable. She made us feel less crazy for our thoughts and feelings about issues and situations in our own lives. I never write reviews but she is worth it. If you like smart/political/insightful comedy Janeane is your girl. You can't go wrong buying the ticket!!
I've been a Garofalo fan for years and this was my first time to see her live. It was worth it, She says she's not a stand-up comedian, she's a conversationalist, she's right. Her observations are spot on, for me anyway. Garofalo covered everything from Watergate to Walkers, Ken Burns and pregnant women who don't know their pregnant and my favorite, cutting up cardboard. Garofalo's show is also appropriate for teens. She may have said "shit" once and the goriest thing were the Walkers. Good show, worth the money and drive..
We enjoyed Janeane very much. She talks a mile a minute, she is kind of a scatter brain but very intelligent. She addresses current affairs with humor. I really related to her and would recommend seeing her show.
Janeane was funny, entertaining, and very approachable. She came down into the audience for a little while. Her intelligence and political awareness shines in her show. She seemed to be enjoying herself so much that when the light came on to tell her it was time to wind up, she wasn't ready stop, and she stayed on stage for a while longer! I will definitely see her whenever she is in town!
I love this woman. She's so sharp witted and on point the whole time. She's totally batty but I can't get enough. I just want to spend more time around her!
Caught Janeane Garofalo at the Wilbur in Boston. She was exactly what I expected: Smart, funny, sharp-tongued and always interesting.
This wasn't a horrendous experience but I didn't actually laugh once. I smiled some but didn't laugh. And the lady I brought with me hated the bit about the thong which apparently makes life easier for women with large posteriors. If I'm going to pay 69 dollars it would be nice if she had her set memorized. It seemed unprofessional. Ended up leaving early.
An unforgettable night, she showed lot's of character and intelligence throughout the show, it was thoroughly entertaining on many levels.
This show was great. The opening comic was a bit tough to listen to but kinda funny. Janeane G. Was amazing. She had me laughing non-stop all night. Her skits about allure, Downton abbey, and Hoarders were hysterical. She was fast paced and funny as ever.
We're big fans. The show just disappointed us. She just did not seem to bring her "A" game. It was a little sloppy and without the edge that we come to expect. It's almost like she was being careful.
Janeane is always entertaining. Enjoyed her show and would definitely see her again. She's not a joke teller per se, but provides a witty insight into the human condition based on personal observation.
She was super funny. A little cleaner than her old standup. Wilbur is a great venue....would go see again if she came back to Boston.
Marc Maron seemed in top comedic form. He was great at including the audience in his act, and was as witty as ever. Janeane Garofalo was also good, but not so much in top form last night. She did say that she had been up all night, which was probably true considering how scattered her act seemed. No complaints, though -- it was still an entertaining show.
Couldn't wait for Janeane to take the stage.... literally... to start her part of the show. Been a fan of hers for years. Always thought she was funny, entertaining and has had some good movie characters. We enjoyed the stories, she looked good, and educated us about spanks... and now I know. She was video recording the show for a special, which would be so cool to see later, but it probably won't be used. I'd see her again as long as she had a different opening act. We didn't know the opening act, Marc Maron, before, but can honestly say that we're definitely not fans now. We wanted to go hang out at the bar, which is not in the same room, during his performance. Based on his resume of past performances, he must have been funny at some point, but he wasn't at this show. I'll just leave it at that.
Jeneane Garofalo cares more about letting the audience know her political stance on current issues than being funny. Rob Riggle was outstanding and will definitely see him again!
janine was honest, insightful and kept our group laughing thru the whole show. she was naturally funny. I will see her everytime she is in boston.
Janeane was great. I only wish she went on 2nd. My friend Mark flipped the coin to see who would go on first and I told him after the show he should have lied and said it was tails. I mean, it's not like anyone would have gotten hurt.
What a great show Janeane Garofalo and Rob Riggle put on. They offer VERY different perspectives. Both were very funny and right on in their observations. What a great night. I wish that I had bought tickets to BOTH the 7 and 10 pm shows as I'm sure they each covered new/additional materials in the other show. Can not wait for Janeane to be back in Beantown. Catch if you can.
This show was fantastic, well Janeane was. Rog Riggle just isn't what I like for comedy. I would prefer she went on by herself without him. She really is hiliarous and I would recommend seeing her to anyone.
Both Janeane Garafalo and Rob Riggle were wonderful in their own way - only wish that I had gone to the late show because they were pressed for time at the 7:30 showing. Nice venue too (though those Mezzanine seats are a bit tiny).
