Kevin Smith Tickets

I've been a Kevin Smith fan for a long time. I've listened to several of his podcasts; some of them I continue to enjoy, while others have fallen by the wayside. I had purchased a ticket to the initial Hollywood Babble-on show back in June or July before it was cancelled by the artists for personal reasons. I was incredibly excited to get another opportunity to see these guys live. The show was great. It wasn't amazing, but it delivered exactly what most people would expect. If you've ever listened to the HBO podcast then you know what to expect; most of the shows follow a familiar structure. I was actually surprised by how similar this show was to the regular podcasts, though I don't know why I was surprised. Anyway, part of me wishes that there was some sort of extra that only the live audience got to enjoy. More videos; some of Ralph's comedy; a Q&A with Kevin Smith, or; perhaps an opportunity to get some photos or autographs. I realize that's not always feasible, of course. However, having enjoyed the experience once, I don't think I'll bother with a second show should I ever have the chance. $80 for what is essentially a live version of what I hear on my iPod? Once was enough...

Kevin Smith and Ralph Garmin put on an awesome show. It was halarious and it was entertaining, I didn't want it to end. I will never miss a Kevin Smith show in Calgary ever again.

Best comedy show! Always a good laugh with these two!

The Show was ok. A couple of funny spots and its great to see Kevin looking healthy and loving life. Really not a whole lot of unique content though. A basic podcast format with half of it being news that you could find on any entertainment website in five minutes which is silly. Too much fan based letters and requests as well. Between the news bits and the fan bits there was almost no unique content and very little for Kevin and Ralph to do which is pretty lazy. worst part is the tickets were like $80 and a beer was 8+ which is a total rip off for what it was. There are plenty of real comedians that come to Vancouver so save your money for them as they bring original content that is actually funny. This show seemed more like a cash grab.

Was a great evening. Wonderful to see Kevin alive and in person. Wished it could have last longer.

Kevin is always a great entertainer and story teller. His "Evening with Kevin Smith" shows are known for the Q&A type interactions, so it was disappointing that this was just a story telling session with no interaction with the audience. I had heard half the stories before so while it was still entertaining, I felt disappointed not to get the chance to ask a question and to hear so much repeated content. I didn't feel like I got the full value/experience I was expecting. 3.5/5 for me.

The hockey shirted super hero of thought sauntered out to the centre of the stage to great applause. He opened his mouth to suggest that he was tired from working on SuperGirl late into the night in Vancouver and that we were allowed to interrupt anytime we wanted. He launched into it after prepping us with an important story of his love for Canada's A&W. He did not stop for 2 hours!! He kept me extremely interested by peppering the stories with life lessons and filmmaker lessons. Having said that, it was non-stop fun and laughter. This show was not only funny and informative it was inspirational on the level of the Madonna - Material Girl tour.

This event was during the first evening of the Ex so I was pleased that my ticket granted me free entry to the Ex - that was a nice bonus. Kevin's always been a great story-teller and this night was no exception. He talked about his recent filming of the two TV series, Super Girl and The Flash. I don't watch either show but that didn't matter in the slightest, I still really found him entertaining and funny (as always). I'm sure I'll be seeing him again in the future.

This show was amazing I think that if the venue did not have time restraints it would have made the show even better.

This Was a unbelievably good movie. to say it was unpredictable in an understatement. the Q&A after was great over all well worth the price of the ticket and the six hour drive.
