Puddles voice is awesome! was entertaining enough but was really expecting his back up bank. Was a good karaoke act. 6 out of ten.
Less dragon. More dog. Card tricks are fine and dandy but who wants to cuddle with a five foot pile of scales? Puddles rocks, of course.
How did he do that seemed to be the theme of the evening. Great performance. Even worked well with a cantankerous youth that was brought up on stage for the final bit. Awesome showman.
Went with my wife & had an amazing time. HIGHLY recommend this duo if they come close to you. We will definitely go see them again if they come slose to us.
Piff and Puddles (and especially Mr. Piffles) were absolutely delightful. Can't recommend strongly enough!
The first thing that happened bottles came out through the crowd playing a guitar and singing a song everybody really enjoyed that, his singing was fantastic throughout the whole show and the video screen interaction was fun. Towards the end of his show it was absolutely hilarious when he was taking everybody's phones that was video recording him and he started switching with different people throughout the seating area and then he went off to the side hiding while everybody have tried to find their phones again people were laughing and enjoying themselves. Can't wait to see them come back again definitely buying tickets.
After about 20 minutes you realize that the magic is really bad and fake. Lots of plants taken from the audience and after awhile you realize that everyone brought onstage was a plant. On the other hand Puddles was wonderful. Great voice and cool choice of songs. Loved his background videos which helped tell the story of his songs.
Was looking for humor after an excellent humorous magic show by Pif the Magic Dragon. The guy has a great voice but was a letdown. We walked out. I’m sure he’s a great guy but his act completely confused us. Sorry, but no more Puddles for me.
Puddles was very good, but, too short -- maybe 90 min. at most. Piff was way too long --- over a hour of card tricks and guessing stuff is WAY too much. The whole concert with intermission was 3 hours --- I would have liked less of Piff and more of Puddles.
Piff was exactly what I thought he would be, and that was fun to watch. Puddles, on the other hand, must be an acquired taste. I was glad, however, to later learn that he credited the Stairway to Gilligan's Island bit to the original creator, and he didn't just steal that.
Very funny and entertaining, great crowd interaction . Puddles out walking around performing before the show started .
While it is always fun to spend time with the sad clown, this time was a little less fun. No hugs and he performed far too many songs I didn’t know.
Absolutely loved Puddles Pity Party. I was glad I bought front row seats to see all the details put into the act. Great job Puddles.
the Puddles voice as amazing as ever, grabs your heart, stays with you long after. Deep dead-pan laughter just what we all needed after 2 years of virus crazy times. Make your life better and seek out the next tour...please shorten the time between the kick-ass VIP greet and the start of the main really big show. Wow, huge talent.
Entertaining. Understand interaction with audience was limited due to Covid. Puddles was so talented and I thoroughly enjoy Dave Hill. Great addition to show
First off Puddles and Dave Hill gave a great performance and the concert hall was nice and smaller, staff was nice too…however I paid extra for VIP that came with a meet and great but Ticketmaster did not email any instructions at all regarding this, the venue did not say anything on their website and I couldn’t find anything on Puddles website either. When you go to the venue website or call they said doors open at 7 show starts at 8. We got there at 7 they scanned our tickets and didn’t say anything. Just told us to go to our seats. We found our seats and went to get a drink and asked them about VIP and she was like oh that ended a few minutes ago it was from 6:30-7:00, you should go see the box office. They said oh yeah you are on the list you should have gotten an email. Sorry. The only email I got was on how to download my tickets! I checked a lot even checked my spam. Big bummer that I could have spent $80 for the same experience I paid $300 for. Communication was seriously lacking. I asked how many others were on the list that didn’t show up yet and she said 15 so I know I am not the only one. I have been to other concerts VIP and usually a day or a few before the show you do get VIP instructions via email so in this case I figured it must be when doors open or after the show since I couldn’t find any info. Even though I missed out on that we had a good time and I would see Puddles again just skip over the VIP.
This was my husbands and my first time at the Ponte Vedra concert hall and we were very pleased. The venue is I would call medium size, very quaint and sat up nicely. The accoustics were perfect for the room. We are looking forward to coming for more events here.
Puddles was fantastic! So was Dave Hill, who provided an complimentary level of humour and music
His humor, his amazing presence, in clown form, his beautiful voice somehow restores you. His interpretation allows me to hear music again, with love and wonder, like I did when I was a child. Yet, it is thought provoking. It may even make you kinder to animals
When does a satire of a trope of a genre begin to devour itself like a comic orobouros? Puddles performs at the Jefferson, drawing in cultural head-fakes in winking recognition of the bouyancy they lend his pagliacci clown performance. It sinks without song. He's a dour and mute clown, angered that he cannot speak, excepting in a strong and soaring tenor channeled through britney spears, bing crosby, or axl rose. A Toxic shuffle is followed by an acoustic Crazy Train. A stairway to Heaven, in an earnest horizontal shuffle across stage.
