Red Green Tickets

I have worked on and off in the performing arts industry as a stage manager, technician, and technical manager/supervisor. This show was nothing short of a nightmare audio-wise this night. The entire time Red-Green's mic was cutting out, which is literally the WHOLE show. No back-up was on his person for him to switch to. No back up was given during intermission. No handheld was even offered until the final few minutes of the show when you absolutely didn't come through at all. This is totally unacceptable and unprofessional, especially when his extended monologue is the entire show. If I were the producer of this or tech director and I attended this show, I would have fired this guy on the spot. Secondly, the ticket prices didn't match what the audience received. The only real set that this show had was a projection screen, an under-capable projector, and a podium. They hard sold the merchandise but didn't really provide anything of value to the audience. The entire show consisted of a slide show, a few short clips of the Red Green show, and Red Green talking the entire time. The only positive thing I can take away from this show is that Red Green himself, ALWAYS remained in character and professional the entire time. He did an excellent job executing a one-man show. However, everything that surrounded him, might as well throw most of it in the trash and hire some better creative people to create a real show that matches the ticket prices OR charge about half as much. This show was a money hog from the lack of technical aspect going into it and the hard merchandise pushing. Speaking to the venue itself, the Pantages Theatre, it is a wonderful venue. It is small and sight-lines are very good, both in the orchestra and balcony. You'd be hard pressed to find a bad seat. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

Aside from a technical problem with his headset that disrupted his timing once in a while. I felt Red Green gave a great performance. His jokes were clean and wholesome. He poked fun at himself and the characters on his show. Plus his comments about growing older and not being a technology person fit the crowd well. I thoroughly appreciated the fact he did his whole show without the need to swear even mildly. I wish others would follow his example.

The show was excellent, vintage Red Green comedy! The theater had some problems with the sound system acting up which I think frustrated the performer. But his shows are always worth going to see!

Funny, witty, hilarious. Where does he get his ideas?!!! An amazing man. So honored to see him on tour and actually meet him.

best comedy we have seen. we love to watch it on tv when it is on

Red Green (Steve Smith) never fails to make an evening enjoyable. Show was great. Venue was the place where I first say him live after his show ended in 2005. Those who choose to stick around after his show also get the treat of meeting him and getting an autograph and a picture. I've been of a fan of his since I was a kid and always look foward to when he returns to Iowa.

This was a delightfully fun time! Would do it agin!

I took my sister to see Red Green as a birthday present. I was not familiar with him myself. But the show was hilarious. It was clean observational comedy with a touch of rural life. The bit about handymen vs. IT was awesome! The venue is beautiful, but parking is a chore.

Loved most all of the show. Started off a little slow with big pitches to buy their merchandise. Once the initial pitch and the mini infomercial was over, the live performance started and from there it was laugh after laugh. I enjoyed myself very much and I am glad I went.

Great show, so funny. Red is my hero! So worth it !

Always funny. My girlfriend who has never watched the show laughed and loves Red now.

The show is a great mix of new material & clips from the show, as well as Red's twist on life in general. Laughed all the way through the show. I have seen Red live 2 times now & I hope he comes back again. Well worth the admission.

Red was awesome!!! My wife my son daughter-in-law and I went to see him at the Adler Sunday night and he is still on top of his game, we laughed all night. This was our second time we have went to see him and we all agreed we will go see him again when he is in the area. You know a comedian is good when you can think about something they said a few days later and still laugh. Great job Red!!!

Great nonstop comedy with visuals. Red Green is a work of art and well worth seeing. The sound could have been better, not as loud or clear as it could be.

We were very glad that Red went on tour in the US again because we had missed him the first time. Awesome show! It was the highlight of our night to be able to meet Red, shake his hand, sign our duct tape, and a picture taken with him after the show. We hope he comes through again someday.

Bought tickets for the guys in my family for some male time and they thought the show was totally amazing. They will definitely be going back again next time.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Red Green Comedy Show. He was every bit as entertaining in person as his show was. We've had several friends say they wish they had known we were going, they would love to have gone too. Maybe on Red's next tour we'll Fill the front row with our friends instead of only our 2 seats. We'll have to get our tickets early!

The guy still has it after all these years, but the pace of the event was kind of slow and the intermission seemed interminable. The visual aids added color to the event, but the venue being so large and the audience being relatively small keep the mood kind of low energy.

Loved the show when it was on TV. Was a great night of a lot of laughter and fun!!! Enjoyed tremendously!

I liked the show it was something my whole family would like
