  • Laugh out loud funny!

    by C. B. on 10/26/19F.M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreRating: 5 out of 5

    I am so glad I was able to see this show. It was so damn funny!

  • You'll Laugh! You'll Laugh Some More!

    That was a fantastic night of comedy sketches and poking fun at a bad, bad movie. It was an interesting choice that made to scale back the stage show to be more puppet-based than prop-based like the last two live shows. I think it made for a loving homage to the roots of MST3K as a puppet show. Definitely worth checking out when it comes to your city.

  • best MST3k ever

    by Jackie on 10/12/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This was the best MST3K I've ever seen! My husband & his brothers all watch it, so I went with them - they loved it, I love it even though I don't really get into MST3K generally - but this one was so good. Would recommend for all, lovers and nonlovers of MST3K alike, because it was just brilliantly funny.

  • Great fun, lots of laughs

    by Geoffer on 10/11/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    First of all, it’s so great to see Joel again after being a fan of his for over 25 years. That said, the MST3K live show was a mixed bag. Everything to do with watching the movie and hearing the riffs was stupendous. I laughed and laughed. All the filler stuff at the breaks: skits, songs, jokes, etc, were painful. I would’ve preferred a short or something over watching that. Theatre was a good venue, some sound issues, but overall a very enjoyable night.

  • What a show

    by J. on 10/10/19Speaker Jo Ann Davidson Theatre (formerly Capitol Theatre) - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    Fantastic show. Its kind of hard to describe but if you loved the TV show you really must see this. Everyone was very funny and I have not been in a place where I have heard this much laughter in a long time

  • Joyous and Bittersweet

    by Richard Blaine on 10/9/19Clowes Memorial Hall - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    To see MST3K live with a group of like-minded Misties is a rare treat. This was an event I will remember fondly like the previous tour all the way back to the first convention in 92. Knowing this is going to be Joel's final live tour made the event bittersweet. The movie "No Retreat No Surrender" that was riffed was perfect for those of us who came of age in the 80s to remind us that not all movies were Ferris Bueller and Indiana Jones. The audience was really into it enough so a few lines were drowned out from laughter making me hope that a taping of one of these dates is recorded. At the final curtain call a standing ovation for the creator that has brought us a remarkable run.

  • Great Show!

    by M. G. on 10/9/19Speaker Jo Ann Davidson Theatre (formerly Capitol Theatre) - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    This was a hilarious show, great time, really on brand with MST3K!

  • Hilarious

    by Matt on 10/9/19Speaker Jo Ann Davidson Theatre (formerly Capitol Theatre) - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    One of the funniest things I’ve ever been too. Loved the practical effects too

  • So much fun!

    by Sherb on 10/8/19Akron Civic Theatre - AkronRating: 5 out of 5

    MST3K was a lot of fun! The cast was great as usual. Love this theater as well, it’s so unique! One of the best I’ve ever seen. We’d definitely go back to see them again.

  • Classic MST3K

    by Tony Z on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5

    Cast was funny, though a lot of new faces/voices (other than Joel). Circus theme didn't mesh well with the movie. It felt like two different shows going on, as opposed to their middle skits being related to the movie in some way. The pre-intermission skit was funny until it unraveled into a "buy our merch" shtick, which became less funny as long as it continued. All in all it was enjoyable, but made me long for more of the new stuff (and earlier MST3K Live shows).

  • Laughing

    by MsBal on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    So much fun! A great evening of laughing out loud at cheesiness.

  • Laughed until it hurt

    by Crowman3 on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Joel, Emily and the bots put on a show to remember. My son had his first and last opportunity to see Joel live before he hands the reins to the next generation. The delivery of the jokes was spot on during the fil. The host scenes brought back a wave of nostalgia to the show's Comedy Central Days. I pray Joel's creative influence remains strong in live events and Netflix seasons to come even if he is retiring from the tour scene. Thanks for an amazing night of horrible movies and great fun! This show is a must for any MST3K fan who has a tour stop in their town.

  • Meh

    by LGP on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    It's like seeing a cheap Vegas show. The show is going downhill. The new actors are quite annoying. Joel is looking tired, but this is his last tour anyway. If you are.a fan of the new series, you'll like it.

  • so much fun!

    by K. on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Really hoping there will be another. Great fun for the entire family.

  • Couldn't Stop Laughing

    by Karina on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    As a kid, I loved watching MST on television and was a little doubtful about a play. THE PLAY WAS TERRIFIC!! My husband and I could not stop laughing and we've told everyone we know how much we enjoyed it. The movie was as bad as all the other movies -- just wish it could have been science fiction.

  • Great show

    by Dan T Robot on 10/8/19Akron Civic Theatre - AkronRating: 5 out of 5

    Very fun show, great to see after watching re-runs all these years. The movie was a gem too, No Retreat No Surrender.

  • No Surrender!

    by Bcdoc on 10/8/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Great experience. Terrific bad movie to riff on ("No Return, No Surrender"). Don't miss Joel in his farewell tour. I have always been a fan of the series, so this was a terrific way to celebrate it.

  • MST3000

    by Glaze on 10/7/19Clowes Memorial Hall - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The cheesiness was great! Loved watching this on TV and glad I got to see the live version! The movie choice was exceptional- SO bad it was good.

  • Great time

    by J. S. on 10/7/19Akron Civic Theatre - AkronRating: 5 out of 5

    My son and i used to watch MST religiously. He even has VHS tapes of episodes! When i saw that the tour was going to be in Akron, i jumped at the chance to go. I was not disappointed. Joel and the gang put on a very entertaining show. Although my son now lives in Boston, i told him about the Boston shows.
