What more can one say - seeing her in all her characters was just a Real Treat......
My friend and I had excellent seats which gave us the advantage of watching Lily's ever-changing comedic facial expressions. She was just LOL hilarious and kept everyone laughing for about 2 hours. Meeting her after the show was the icing on a deliciously funny evening!!! Don't miss her if she come anywhere close to your city!!!
Lily Tomlin's monologues became a conversation with the audience. One woman on that stage found a way to make a personal connection with everyone present, with well-told, and artfully performed stories as the intimate link. Some stories made me laugh till my stomach hurt while others evoked a sweet sadness that led me down a memory in my own life. I would see her again and again! Brava!
Have always loved Tomlin in the past, but she has really lost her touch. Humor was forced and unimaginative. If she is going to dress in black pajamas without washing her hair, she needs to be more inventive. Too bad.
It was wonderful to see Lily live. I grew up listening to her and was super excited that I got to take my mom (who is also a HUGE fan) with me. It was an awesome night, we laughed so hard we cried. Nice to know she hasn't lost her touch. Our seats were pretty far away which was the only downside but we still had a blast! The venue was great and I look forward to seeing more shows there. We love you Lily!!!!!
I was extremely disappointed with the performance as were the other 3 people with me. As Lily mentioned in her act, her father told her she should not worry about what other people think of her, but at $75 per ticket, maybe she should worry about what her audience thinks. I was hoping for more. Lily looked like she just arrived from a relaxing day lounging around the house. That set off a first impression for me as if audience was not important enough to go to the trouble to present herself in a nicer fashion. Lily has an impressive resume and accolades that she has achieved over her lifetime in show business, but frankly after an hour we were bored. The references in her material were dated, and delivery fragmented. There was one bit that just ended in mid-conversation without a conclusion. Did she forget where she was going with it? All in all, I would have been happier staying home.
Extremely entertaining. Lily gets better all the time. Lots of energy. Non stop laughs
Great clean laughs! Comedy from the heart. A sophisticated act that would be a lesson worth learning from our younger comedians.
Have vivid and memorable moments watching "Laugh In" and my favorite person "LT". Still laughing at and with her from last night. One great person and entertainer. Thanks!!!!
She is still such a great comedian. So much class. Our stomach hurt from laughing so much...
This was a blast from the past for me. I saw her perform in Los Angeles in the 80's and was so excited about seeing her again. She hasn't lost a beat. This was my husband's first time seeing her in action and he was enchanted. She just seems to be as happy to be there with us as we were to be there with her. I would absolutely tell any of my friends to see her if they get the chance. Worth every penny.
She is simply amazingly talented and entertaining. You sit there mezmerized and feel as if she is having a conversation with just you. Funny and thoughtful, her characters and monologues seem to take you through her life, lives, characters, and your own. Definitely a moment to be treasured.
Amazing She was absolutely great. She is a genius. The only thing that would have been better would be to meet her in person.
Excellent presentation. Excellent material. An extremely talented performer. Could have used more politics.
Wow, Lily Tomlin is amazing-- she creates stories that keep your attention wrapped in everything she does -- mostly funny, but also pathos and truly revealing moments common to all of us upright mammals ! Lily is so quick witted and outrageously funny, she had us in the palm of her hand all through the show -- the only bad part is that I don't know when she is coming back to San Diego - Love, love, loved it !!!
Brilliant, amazing, one of a kind. Not to be missed.
Lily was incredibly funny. Her act incorporated jokes regarding current issues as well as characters she has developed over her career. Her energy level and quick repertoire was exhilarating to observe. Lily can change her voice, mannerisms and facial expressions in a flash; creating a whole new charater right before your eyes.
Lily Tomlin is incredible! The range of her theatrical ability is amazing.
Lily Tomlin put on a fantastic show. All of her characters brough back many memories!
She is the most gifted, intelligent, hysterical comedienne I've come to know and she's a master story teller. She definitely knows how to entertain.
