The horns were great and the show was masterful. Richard Cheese has just about the best stage banter out there too. This was my third show and it's been different every time and great every time.
We loved everything about it. His crowd interaction was hilarious, even when I completely froze up because he talked to me. He is a wonderful performer and the show was better than we anticipated. Wish I could have gotten a shirt after the show...bit I will order online.
Richard Cheese gave us a performance we will never forget. In between his great song renditions his humorous comedy kept the crowd going. Make sure to get seats near the stage or near the isles if you want to see his great crowd work.
Bought tickets after husband played a couple songs inn youtube. Wasn’t sure what to expect. The show is part throwback Vegas lounge show, part comedy show. Richard and the band are fantastic, funny as all get out, impressive musicians, and super funny. We plan on seeing him every time he’s in town. We can’t wait to see him again, and are downloading ALL his music. You’ll Never be the same once you’ve heard “Gin and Juice” by Snoop Dog sung by a lounge singer.
Richard Cheese is hysterically funny. You need to see him live.
We saw RCALATM at the Rocks Lounge at Red Rock in Las Vegas. Richard is very talented. Although he was recovering from the flu, he was able to sing and put on a great show. He included the audience in his shtick which made it all the more fun. Don't bring the kids! Lot's of vulgarity. Not a problem for us though.
Long time fan, seen Richard Cheese live at least 10 maybe 12 times over the past 9 years. He jokes that the show is the same every time. Yes there are a few repeat moments but no one seems to mind. Unfortunately this show was the weakest performance of all the ones I'd ever seen before, and not because of repetitive moments. His voice was off and he couldn't sing. He said he'd been sick and I can understand how that strains a voice. But let's be honest. Richard's voice has been cracking for years and it feels like now he just can't really sing much anymore. It's clear he doesn't take care of himself or his body so I don't know how many more times he'll be able to perform. The show is now reduced to the comedy gags and schtick which was previously the funny icing in between the delicious cake of the band playing. This time was 80% schtick. The highlight of the show was the rendition of Pink Floyd's The Wall when the band was in high gear and Richard was singing. Everyone loved that moment. But it was just a moment. Let the band play more and take better care of yourself Richard so you can really perform.
Very enjoyable. They did not let me down. It was awesome
A comedic take on several popular songs. The atmosphere was a very comfortable and friendly feel. I want to see them again.
All of your favorite songs sung by a swanky lounge singer. So funny and very well done. These guys can really play! An amazing performance by the entire band and of course Richard Cheese. We had front row tickets and we were blown away! Loved every part of the show. Thank you Richard Cheese and the Lounge Against the Machine!!!
Aside from the fact that Richard and LATM have great music the whole show is hilarious.
Richard Cheese was hilarious, and his band was great as well.
If you know Richard cheese you'll know what to expect, if he's new to you, he's a superb lounge style singer, singing inappropriate songs, he's hysterical. I felt the show would be better as a regular lounge act, as was, rather than a formal theatre.
Swinging and sharp. Never a dulll moment '!!!!!!!!!!
This show was hilarious. Richard's stage presence was amazing. All of the songs were good and he sounds just as good in person as he does recorded.
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine is a band that everyone should experience at least once in your lifetime. Irreverent, not politically correct, funny, crowd participation... all of this and more. The musicians are terrific. Occasionally it will take a moment or two to recognize exactly what tune he is interpreting, which makes the journey that much more enjoyable. Almost all of the tunes I've heard before, but never realized how vulgar and stupid some of the lyrics really are!
Went with 5 friends and we had a blast. Great mix of rap covers, rock covers and current day hits. The latter allowed for parents to have a good laugh as they have to listen to the songs repeatedly at home. Highly recommend
Highly recommended. Great set and crowd work by the group!
I've followed him in the past but have never been to an actual show. Besides an amazing talent of taking any song and making it insanely funny, the jokes between songs and the interaction with the crowd was highly entertaining. A great array of older classics as well as really recent songs.
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine put on an incredible performance that is both extremely entertaining and funny.
