T.J. MILLER – THE NONSENSE TOUR
T.J. MILLER is on his way to Australia for his first time with his hilarious The Nonsense Tour. Miller is one of the most sought after comedians in the comedy world, but not in the drama world, or the finance world. Named one of Variety’s “Top 10 Comics to Watch,” and EW's “Next Big Things in Comedy”, you may recognize his non-animated face and body from his roles in Deadpool, Transformers 4, and Mike Judge’s HBO comedy series Silicon Valley. His podcast "Cashing in with T.J. Miller" is listened to by 12 and 1⁄2 people, and he is a nationally touring standup artist, crisscrossing the country listening to Kris Kross (he's also done shows in the U.K. and Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico did not go well)).
He has been performing his absurdist observational stand-up act for over 10 years, and recorded his Comedy Central stand-up special T.J. Miller: No Real Person and hip-hop/pop/folk music album "The Extended Play E.P." He hosted Comedy Central’s Mash-Up, a mashup of standup, sketches and visualizations, and has appeared on Chelsea Lately more than most women his height. He got his start touring with Second City in Chicago and improvising with Annoyance Theater, iO, and managers at electronics stores asking why he was late and smelled like gin.
Miller has been in a number of major studio films including She’s Out of My League, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, Rock of Ages, Our Idiot Brother, Yogi Bear 3D, Get Him To The Greek, How To Train Your Dragon, and Christmas Party. He resides in Hollywood, California, where he struggles to find meaning in an uncertain world. He is a comedian.

He seemed burnt out. Basically did 2 long form jokes, one involved periodically spilling bottled water on himself for no other reason than a cheap laugh. The other involved keeping playing a song from a childhood tv show (won't spoil it). He also seemed like he ended his set early. His performance seemed like less than 30 minutes
I'm a big TJ Miller fan so I was especially disappointed by the act which featured him dragging out acts for far too long. Microphone not working for far too long. Duck tales "joke" for far too long. And so on. I couldn't wait to get out.
Opening comedian was terrible, the second guy was pretty funny. TJ was not very good, spent way too long on a Duck Tales theme joke which was just not that funny. Overall I had a couple chuckles but not much more than that. So disappointed since we love him on Silicon Valley. He has an upcoming HBO special which I am curious about, maybe he used all his good material for that.
TJ Miller was incredible. Impressively weaving in audience interaction and interruption with his bits an routine. Extremely entertaining peformance with use of props, etc...he is definitely America's jester.
Opening stand-up comedian Nick Vatterott was excellent! Smart and engaging, very very good. Kate Miller: Her singing act felt like a third-grade talent show. She has a very good voice actually, but you'd heard someone perform at that level at Karaoke any night of the week. Stand-up shows should be about stand-up. TJ Miller: This is why this review is getting one star. TJ Miller's portion of of the show (over 90 minutes) was atrocious. Absolutely horrendous. Uncreative and seemingly non-ending, it felt like torture. While it did have some good moments, the frequently prolonged jokes built up to weak and mediocre punchlines. I couldn't stand how narcissistic TJ Miller is--- over 15 minutes of him having the spotlight techs create various spotlights on him. Very annoying and not funny in the least bit. TJ Miller had a tough time telling his rehearsed material and loved taunting hecklers, and he actually encouraged hecklers. His contrived come-backs feel overly critical when he is practically demanding interruption from the audience members. He did a bunch of burp jokes that were just down right stupid. If I wanted to hear someone burp words I'd hand out with children, thanks. TJ Miller is a prop comic. He used his battle axe to tell a story that I couldn't care less about and couldn't wait to be over. Not only was it painful, it was uncreative. TJ Miller wants you to think he's intelligent. He spends most of his time talking about pot but what he really wants is for you to perceive him as an intellectual. His claim that no one can describe time and math efficiently was not only not funny, but erroneous. I don't think he's qualified to discuss such matters and his eagerness to be seen as smart feels forced and puerile. The show concludes with him inviting a member of the audience onstage, only to call him dad and leave a voicemail that says, "This is TJ Miller and I'm telling you to go fuck yourself". Really quite lame. Reminded me of stupid prank calls children would do. TJ Miller's act could benefit greatly from removing the majority of his rambling and pointless material. The show is far too long and filled with too far too few laughs. The bottom line is that TJ Miller is only funny when Mike Judge is writing his lines.
Show was too unscripted and included too much riffing off the audience. Singing by Kate seemed pointless and didn't fit into show. Show seemed to drag on and wasn't anywhere near as funny as Tjs podcast or movie appearances.
Fun show, very high energy. Enjoyed every minute of it!
TJ was hilarious & the entire ensemble was very funny.
Saw the show last nite in Chicago last. Some of the opening acts were decent and we've seen them at the local Laugh Factory. I realize it must be fun to have your main squeeze on tour, but the wife's act was just embarrassing as she has limited talent. Her act reminded me of bad community theatre. Like somebody reported from the Boston show, he spent too much time on improvisational content and responding to annoy and drunk hecklers. Seemed like a very lazy and ill planned show as he didn't really get to many bits at all. He is very funny in Silicon Valley so deeply disappointed we wasted time and money on this dreadful show! As they say in Blighty, poor showing, mate!
Overall I thought TJ was really funny although he went off on some weird tangents. His wife does a skit that was just off but the opening comics were pretty funny. I'd recommend checking this show out just keep expectations to average.
Hilarious, ridiculous, meticulously awesome!! All the openers were great.... And TJ killed it! Defiantly will go again!
I have never laughed this much at a show. I have never enjoyed a show this much. I have never seen a comedian that made me both laugh uncontrollably and question the way I live my life in the same joke. I couldn't recommend it more. He riffed and did crowd work for an hour before even touching his golden material (he did about half an hour of material after that). The openers (all 4) were unbelievable too. Don't wait another second before buying a ticket.
Not only was TJ's written material incredible, he also to creatively humiliated several obnoxious audience members who decided to yell out during the show. We're already looking for tickets to another show.
Wilbur has got to do a better job of removing hecklers from the crowd. TJ and the rest of the show was amazing
That was a mess from start to finish. First of all, there were THREE opening acts (one of which was Miller's wife, who sings) which took an hour. They were not great opening acts, so during this time, people are loading up on booze because they're bored. By the time TJ came out, everyone was a drunk mess and they were yelling things out and heckling the whole time. Miller engaged each of them, so never got to any actual material, except for a brief bit about time, which was the only highlight of this disaster. I would have liked for him to ignore the yellers and just get to his actual material. I have loved TJ Miller since his earlier days, as I am a comedy nerd, so this was really disappointing. I left before the end, after about 40 minutes of TJ's set.
Nice venue, hung out in the lounge area before the show. Easy to get to from the LIRR. T.J. was fabulous and amazing.
I love tj miller. His standup, podcast, TV and movie appearances are all hilarious. I took my wife to see him do standup in nyc and she loved him too, and she is usually not one to quote jokes after a show but she is still referencing things from two years ago and from this week. He is just a uniquely funny individual whose talent is hard to describe and harder to contain.
TJ was awesome. Very friendly, got into the show- and left us with a great story!
T.J. Miller is very funny. If you haven't heard his podcast, "Cashing in with T.J. Miller", you should try it.
The opening act and headliner were both hilarious and did a great job engaging the crowd.
