Short set
by MikeIndetroit on 4/10/10Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitFire alarm went off. Sound went out. Long wait before it came back on. Less then an hour on stage. Not worth the price. Funny but needs a longer set.

Tim Allen on Tour
However busy he may be as one of comedy's biggest stars on screens big and small, Tim Allen stays true to his stand-up roots. Audiences for his live performances are just as eager to show their appreciation for his warm, wry and sometimes wild take on life in America, raising families and getting older.
Allen has honed his signature brand of observational comedy since he began earning laughs in clubs in the mid '70s. One of the most iconic performers to emerge from the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, he rose through the ranks in the '80s before finding fame on Home Improvement, his long-running ABC sitcom. His engaging and hilarious performances as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story and hapless dad Scott Calvin in The Santa Clause led to two of Hollywood's most popular family-movie franchises. In 2011, he returned to television as the star of Last Man Standing, another hit sitcom that began its eighth season in 2020.
A series of live shows to promote his 2010 film Crazy on the Outside led to a renaissance for Allen's stand-up career and his first stand in Las Vegas since 1993. He continues to regularly perform in venues all over the US.
Who is Tim Allen?
A star at home on both screen and stage, Tim Allen has been a favorite of audiences ever since he broke out of the pack of future greats who found their voices at Los Angeles' iconic Comedy Store in the '80s.
Born in Colorado and raised in Michigan, Allen began his comedy career in clubs and on cable-access shows in the Detroit area in the mid '70s. After overcoming personal troubles and moving to Los Angeles, he soon became known for a sharp brand of observational humor that reflected his everyman perspective and was anything but politically correct. Allen found another means of showcasing his wry take on love, marriage and family life when his sitcom Home Improvement began its hugely successful run on ABC in 1991. His star rose higher with his performances in Toy Story and The Santa Clause, two big-screen family hits that spawned blockbuster franchises.
His other film credits include Christmas with the Kranks, Zoom, Crazy on the Outside and The Shaggy Dog. His two books Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man and I'm Not Really Here were bestsellers. In 2011, he returned to television to star in Last Man Standing, another long-running hit sitcom. Allen continues to perform live for audiences throughout the US.

by susterry on 4/10/10Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitTim was not funny -- his opening act was hilarious!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Fantastic show, even the fire alarms went off
by erickaltz on 4/10/10Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitThe show was great, the opening act was very funny and I am looking forward to more from him. Tim was very funny through the entire show. Even the fire alram went off and the mic cut off, but instead of getting off the stage, he continued to make the most of it. He would shout for everyone to hear him and do jokes that weren't even part of his normal act. They even got a megaphone out for him and he just kept it going. The mic was off for about 10 mins and as soon as the mic turned back on, he kept going wit his normal act. I rate this show 5 stars, 2 thumbs up. I cannot wait to see him again one day.

by MichiganLover on 4/10/10Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitTim Allen will always be the best comedian there is! There was a ten minute pause where the alarm went off and messed the show up but Tim handled it great.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Tim Allen was hilarious
by duncan89 on 4/10/10Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitNot only was Tim funny, but we thought the 'warm-up' comedian was funny too. Even when someone opened the wrong 'fire' door and the lights came on and mic shut off, Tim was great. He had to improvise a little and we still laughed. When the lights came back on, he got right back on track. The only problem I had with the whole evening was finding the 'Sound Board' in the casino. It was our first time there and we weren't sure where we were going. But once there...all was well. We loved it.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Tim Allen still could be heard!

by Marginata on 4/9/10Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitWe're big Tim Allen fans, and were really looking forward to seeing him. Tim kept saying he was happy to be back in Detroit, but he didn't seem like it. It seemed like his heart wasn't in it. He was amusing, but seemed unprepared, almost like he was "phoning it in". His routine seemed disorganized and disjointed. We still enjoyed it , but were disappointed with his lack of energy and enthusiasm. The opening act, Lowell Sanders, was actually much funnier than Tim. We would have liked to hear more from him. We brought a group of 20 people, and this was the concensus opinion.
