JP Sears Tickets

Great venue to see JP Sears!!! It was awesome to see him “live” and I only wish I had gotten tickets sooner, so I could have been closer to the stage. Great job, JP!!! Please come to Boston aga

I enjoyed the Wilbur venue as it provides a cozy setting and easy visibility to The talent. The overall message presented by JP sears, was: “to keep an open mind and not take yourself too seriously “, and this was well received by the crowd. His sarcastic, dry sense of humor with a dash of kindness, kambucha and empathy is a refreshing combination. The fact that he brought up politics and vaccines, etc and asked for feedback and no riots occurred gave me hope for our country because there were definitely people gathered there who did not see eye to eye. Perhaps we can all coexist peacefully?

JP did better than I expected given that he's a viral video star and not a typical stand up comic. He didn't rely on his notes very much and seemed at ease with the crowd, though he lost control of them a few times. There was a significant amount of unsolicited talking/shouting from the audience (exclusive of actual solicited audience participation) but he was able to pull the focus back to himself relatively well. Some of his jokes were pretty funny, but they were few and far between otherwise typical motivational speaker stuff (again, not a real surprise there, given his background). A lot of self-help mumbo-jumbo about dealing with feelings and emotions and being the change you seek in the world. Nice filler - and a good message bottom line - but not necessarily what I'd be looking for on a "comedy" tour either. Nor did it break the mold and give any insight that already hasn't been said. (Knowing that you do not know? Most Philosophy 101 students attribute that to Socrates.) He did bring up a few controversial topics (politics, vaccines) and there were a few brave anti-vaxxers in the audience who stated they were anti-vaccine because "vaccines are linked to autism" and - as predicted - the crowd was not pleased. JP misused an opportunity to educate through his comedy (like mentioning how that study has been debunked and the scientist who promoted the vaccines-cause-autism theory was completely discredited). Easy way to inject some comedy into a topic that should not be remotely controversial except due to misinformation. Instead, JP just used it as a segueway into a lackluster "each side, tell the other side they suck" exercise and then more self-help stuff. Anyway, as a big comedy fan, I'm glad I went to see him last night - the show was definitely unique - but I wouldn't see him again.
