The show was very very good and I also enjoyed his comedianne who opened for him. The theater was really nice despite what some have said about this theater it is absolutely beautiful and the ticket prices are exceptionally good. Joel was very funny and commented on things from what his kids do and are doing two things going on around the world with the president. He's very funny and he's very clever and definitely worth seeing. the only reason I didn't give at a news I wasn't laughing holding my stomach which I guess would be a 10 and it was funny and I laughed a lot but it wasn't a complete laughfest through the whole thing.
Joel was good, but not as funny as the last time I saw him at The Wilbur - maybe he had an "off" day. I love him anyway. However, the comic who opened for him was hilarious ! Wish I remembered his name. Venue was extremely hot. Seemed like there was no A/C and the window fans were almost useless. Almost passed out at one point. Should have passed out bottled water for free. Drinks were RIDICULOUSLY priced for the size of them.
If he voluntarily calls himself a dick; that says.
My fiancé and I have gone to several comedy shows, and watch specials often. This was one of the best shows that we have seen - we were belly laughing the entire time! Both J.F. Harris and Joel Mchale were hysterical and were worth the wait with the delay! We would go to another one of their shows in an instant, in the future!
SEE THIS MAN PERFORM. He was incredible. I laughed until I cried the entire time! Joel and his warm-up were victims of our extreme thunderstorms and took an UBER from Philly to get to the show! (When the show started their plane was STILL circling DC!!! So thank goodness they did!) The tone, the act, the everything was amazing. Need to see him again! Joel is the type of comedian who interacts with his direct audience, and creates running gags unique to that show. It made it special and a one-of-a-kind show!
Excellent show! Joel is always hilarious and the opening comedian was great too!
Hilarious! I laughed the entire time, so much so that my face hurt by the time the show was over. I hope I have the opportunity to see him again!
Joel McHale and J.F. Harris put on a great show. Highly recommend catching their act if they come to your town.
so funny! it was a good time .His opening act was great too!
As a long time fan of The Soup, I was stoked to see Joel come to town. However, he came across as arrogant, jokes weren't that funny, and seemed ill prepared for his stand-up. Felt like he was resting on his laurels of stardom to milk all the money he could from his former TV glory days.
Fans of Joel McHale won't be disappointed. Very fun and high energy. This guy is a real pro.
The opener was better than Joel. The first half of Joel's set was focused on geographies he had recently worked and the material wasn't as strong as his material later in the show around his family and kids. e should stick to material he knows works well rather than trying to come up with material around Cincinnati on the flight in.
Love him, saw him several years ago at the same location. He was charming, funny and we got to meet him. This time I thought he was too mean for my blood. All he did was make fun of us and other places he tours. He would point to himself and say "dick" when the crowd didn't like what he said. Toward the last half hour-45 minutes, he talked about working and his shows and family. That's what we want to hear about. If he would have stuck to that, he would have been much more enjoyable. We looked forward to this for a while, and we were disappointed.
McHale tied in the audience and his personal stories to make the night hilarious and fun! Totally recommend it!
Great opening act, Joel followed with great stand up.
My gf and I were really excited to see Joel live in Tahoe. Unfortunately, it was a really boring performance. I found myself waiting for it to be over so we could go find something else to do. With The Soup it's scripted and his delivery is spot on. More of acting I guess. With his stand up the jokes just weren't very funny and his delivery was hindered by his constant pausing. Overall, I was bummed. Hopefully he does better at other venues.
One of the best comedy shows I have ever been too!
Joel Mchale was hilarious, best stand up I have seen! He was out there for almost two hours and I laughed at every single part.
Fun and hilarious. It's recommend to go to this show.
