Was very, very funny. Opening act was really funny, too! We realized about 10 minutes into Kevin's act that our cheeks were hurting from laughing and smiling so hard. Was very cool to see him live. Thanks for the great time and awesome movie/tv performances over the years!!
One of the funniest stand up shows I’ve ever seen. His witty humor is the best. I like that he doesn’t resort to standard, worn out men v. women jokes, sex jokes and cussing.
WE WERE IN TUCSON FOR THE WEEKEND CAUGHT KEVIN'S SHOW. HE WAS AWESOME A TRULEY GREAT STAND UP.
Kevin and his opening act, Kurt Fox (sp?) we’re very funny. I love his style of humor. I was disappointed to see so many empty seats. I don’t think the event was well advertised.
We enjoyed the Kevin Nealon show, including the fact he greeted those of us waiting in line before the show. He was typically funny, engaging and self-aware. The two opening acts were solid as well.
I have been to Cobb's Comedy Club many times. Rarely does the MC, the opener and the headliner all bomb. Well, they ALL did that evening. The MC was bad enough, but he is only on 5 or 10 minutes. The opener guy was a disaster. I don't think I laughed at all. He just wasn't funny, and he knew it. He kept commenting on the "quiet audience". There was still time to salvage the evening with the Headliner. I thought Kevin Nealon was funny on SNL. I never saw Weeds. I had heard he started out as a stand up. I have seen other ex-SNL people at Cobb's in the past, and its not a sure hit to be sure. Kevin Nealon has lost it. He was completely unfunny. The audience laughed a little, but the club wasn't nearly as boisterous as other shows I have seen there. His humor just seemed tired, worn and "dumb observational" humor. Three comics, one night, and you couldn't have strung together a good 5 minute set between all of them. And the tragedy is, I had invited two friends that night who said they didn't like going to comedy clubs. Believe me, after that evening, it is going to be a decade before anyone will be able to convince them to go again.
the show was great, so funny. we went out after the show and kevin nealon was there he was so nice to everyone took pics. really great guy
The staff were really nice and friendly! The show was great. Will definitely come back :)
Have seen him before. This was definitely not his best.
We had a blast at this show! The venue was close to home and Kevin was absolutely hilarious. We laughed until we cried!
Great show for a great benefit to help stop bullying. Kevin Kealon was very funny as usual with his quick witted humor. He is a true professional and tailored his show to the venue & city.
Kevin Nealon's show was so funny! He takes real life situations that you can relate to and finds the humor in them. He didn't go for the cheap laughs. It was a high-quality performance. My husband and I are so glad we went!
Norm's style of comedy isn't for everyone, and he was clearly on the intoxicated side. For those who enjoy him though, he was hilarious, as always. Great material and the occasional slur of speech only made it funnier. I had never seen Kevin Nealon perform stand-up before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but came onstage with a style that couldn't have been more different than Norm's. He had a great stage presence, looking very comfortable and relaxed, and he was very active (and was noticeably sober), using all of the stage and interacting with different parts of the crowd throughout the entire set. His act was definitely geared towards the older audience members. Some of the bits had the potential to be "corny" and "hacky", but he did a good job of walking that line and never crossing it. Overall, it was a good show and I'd recommend it, especially to a more middle-aged audience.
Kevin Nealon did a good job, but Norm stole this show. Norm just has a way of telling stories and jokes that make it very unique and extremely funny.
We were really looking forward to this but went away disappointed. Norm Macdonald was slow, and he was harder to understand than usual. He talked a lot about being old which I suppose is his life experience right now. Kevin Nealon was much better but still only got a good 3 laughs. He went on about some lame Jack Nicholson story for way too long. His best bit was doing a Mr. Subliminal thing involving the audience, so that doesn't say a whole lot.
Kevin Nealon was awesome! Super funny and impressive! Norm McDonald came out really drunk and was really not that funny. A lot of people left during his stand up and Kevin Nealon had to come out and sort of save him. I really liked how at the end of the show, they were both up on stage together answering the audiences' questions.
Norm and Kevin were both funny. Being there with other couples made it more fun--not sure if Norm and Kevin gave it their all or sorta "phoned" it in. It was nice because the jokes were bawdy and "R" rated without being raunchy.
Kevin Nealon is great, very funny. Norm MacDonald is not funny! They should dump Norm and just have Kevin, then it would be a good show.
Kevin Nealon was funny, but his act was very short!!! Norm Macdonald then came in and was really funny to start, but then was dry and boring at the end!
Kevin Nealon was hilarious. I enjoyed his act immensely. I was expecting to like Norm MacDonald even more, because I have enjoyed his other work. However, most of his act centered around rape. The first half, I thought he actually handled well--I remember thinking "Wow, he's making jokes about rape that are not offensive!" His bits about Cosby and how people are more upset about the hypocrisy than the drugging and raping were great. Then the second half devolved into an extended rant about prison rape that pretty much undid all the good stuff from the first half. I was quite uncomfortable.
