Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival Tickets

It was a great show and we had fun. I would not, however, ever buy lawn tickets again. We couldn't see anything and the vendors would drip on us when they held up their drinks for sale and people trip all over you and spill their drinks. Also, we weren't allowed a blanket so you couldn't even see if bugs were crawling on you. We had seats for Mumford and Sons and that is the only way I'll see a show again.

The entire show was worth the price of admission regardless of how hot and humid it was. Was pleasantly surprised at how good The Flight of the Conchords performed and Chappelle was funny as always.

The performers were pretty good for the most part, but it felt kind of like the practice run for the rest of the tour. The Flight of the Conchords started funny and then kind of started to drag on towards the end. It was great to see Dave Chappelle even though he was wasted and rusty. The highlights were Kristen Schaal and Demetri Martin. The venue was too strict, they wouldn't let us bring in a towel. The parking and vendors were way too expensive, even compared to other venues and music festivals ($10 beer/$20 parking). The show also kept getting interrupted by airplanes flying over. I will never go back to Austin360 Amphitheater.

I highly recommend the Oddball fest - awesome comedy, so much fun! We had lawn seats, you definitely need the big screens, you can't see the stage at all. Not sure why the 2 biggest screens weren't used for a good portion of the show, I am guessing technical failure? But they were on for the main headliners so that's good. Each act on the bill had a good act. Dave Chappelle was totally on, riffed with the audience, even talked to a heckler.

The event was great and the venue awesome!! I only had two issues: #1 WAY TOO HOT for a comedy show, this event needs to be in like October - May, not AUGUST!!! #2 WOW were the drinks and food expensive!!!!

We arrived late and missed the first few sets, but caught the last half of Hannibal Buress. His energy was great and what we saw of his set was hilarious. Demetri Martin was also super funny with his one liner observations that just come from nowhere, and yet make perfect sense. The Flight of the Conchords were amazing. They are so funny and insanely talented. They played a couple of past favorites and a new song that was so perfectly awkward. The only way their set could've been better was if they played Demon Woman, a favorite of mine. And then of course Dave Chappelle did not disappoint. His set was a little rambling, but I didn't mind... because it was just so awesome to have the guy back in front of a huge audience performing new material. The show could have been better, though, if all four mega screens were used during all sets. For some reason they only used the two closest to the performer during Demetri Martin and Flight of the Conchords. I had a tall dude sitting in front of me, so I wasn't able to see these two performances very well. Also, the camera guys were kinda terrible at their job. There were just some annoying technical difficulties all around.

If wasn't for the acts that weren't headlining, this would have been a complete waste of time. I wasn't impress with Flight of the Concords. I couldn't understand what they were saying. maybe I should have listened to their stuff prior to. Chappelle was really disappointing. I love Chappelle, but I'm not giving him a pass for not having any material. He's been doing clubs all year, you would think he had more material. Maybe by the end of this tour he'll have something, but he treated Austin like a little nightclub gig. I want see him live again until I know he's really back. This isn't the Chappelle from the "killing them softly" or "for what its worth" taper your expectations.

Great comedy festival! The opening acts were good, Flight of the Conchords were the best I have ever seen them and Dave Chappelle was hilarious. I couldn't expect much more. When Dave came out he made it clear that he didn't have any material. While that was not the case (he had great material) he did not have enough material to fill an hour. So a fantastic 20 minute set was stretched to a good 45 minute set. I'm not complaining, but I think the later shows on the tour will be better.

Dave Chappell is a funny guy. He admitted though that we only got 11mins of material in 45 minutes. Those 11 minutes were gold! I wish there had been more. Unfortunately I think the hordes of drunks yelling at him from the first few rows through out his set distracted him from giving us a better performance. Why is heckling a thing?! I'm also going to guess the heat got to him. Standing under a ridiculous amount of spot lights without a cross breeze was probably brutal. Whatever the reason it felt like Dave wasn't on his game for the Austin show. Best of luck on the tour Dave, you'll get 'em next time.

This was a well-put-together event! All of the staff was very courteous. It's such a great venue as well. I had Gen. Admission tickets on the lawn and still felt really close to the action. The show itself was awesome, they weren't any lulls or bad acts.

Brought a good mixture of comedy talent together for the first real comedy festival I have attended. I attended the event becasue i was curious to see what Dave Chappelle would say. I knew what to expect from everyone else, but Dave is always a wildcard. Burress, Flight of the Conchords, & Dave were my favorite acts of the festival. My only concern is for the venue. They must find a more efficient and effective way to funnel cars out their entrance/exit.

The entire lineup was awesome, the location was incredible, and to top it off I got to see my favorite childhood comedian live and in person in the greatest city in the country. What more can I say? I laughed through the entire program!

Great Show I thought Hannibal Burress and Flight of the Concords were the Best. Dave is one of my All time Favorites but you need more material. First 8-10min was Classic Dave punchlines then he goes back to listening to the crowd and going offtrack. (Way better than the Paramount Show last yr though). As far as Security goes i thought that they were a bit hardcore. This was my 4th show at this venue this summer and this was the first time i encountered this. Not blaming them at all because they are just taking orders from Oddball Fest. My issue is you have 4 TV's where you can display the STRICT NO CELL PHONE POLICY. Why not use your resources to inform the crowd the Cell phone policy and the consequences. (EX: Alama Drafthouse). I am actually a fan of this policy to avoid distractions, but security stomping up and down the aisles w/ flashlights giving the eye was a bit much. But still great show.

Everyone was great except the headliner. Dave Chappelle even admitted he had no material. He literally came out and talked about nothing, with no rehearsed jokes. He just let the crowd say things and he responded and then walked off the stage after 45 minutes. Horrible and unprofessional. People paid for that. Pathetic.

Dave Chappelle and Flight of the Conchords were hilarious!!!

All the comedians were great. Had a great time, laughed my ass off. Definitely got my money's worth. Great material that I hadn't heard/seen before (except Flight of the Choncords, but that was expected b/c they play songs.) Only small critique was that the ushers were more concerned with making sure people weren't using their cellphones, than asking people to stop talking and annoying those around them.

All and all it was a good event. I wish Flight of the Conchordes were the closers. It seem to me that Chapelle was very lazy in his comedy. He even said it himself, he only did 11 minutes of material in 45 minutes.

Fotc was incredible!! Hannibal buress was pretty darn funny, too. Demetri was...not bad. And then there was Dave. And the host guy. Embarrassingly wasted, to the point of being not funny anymore. Such a huge letdown. Thank god for fotc or I would've rated this a 2/5.

too hot to crowded- sound system not set for voices we could not hear the lyrics to flight of the concords and the restroom blowers were too loud- 1/2 the time the side screens were off

Flight of the Conchords, Hannibal Burress, and the other opening acts saved this review from 2 stars. If you paid $40 or less, good for you. I paid double that and felt robbed. He only had 11 minutes of material, which he thought was funny, and just bs'd with the crowd the rest of the time. What a disappointment. If Chapelle had performed well, it would've been a 5 star show.
