Poorly organized! The show started an hour late and everyone had to wait in a line outside in pouring rain through no fault of their own. The audio was poor and could barely hear anything. Given that it was a standup, a soundcheck is the least one could expect.
Hasan Minhaj was absolutely awesome. I was flipping back and forth between roaring with laughter and being transfixed by moments of real introspection. He engaged with and worked the audience like the total pro he is. 10/10
We had a wonderful experience. Hasan is an engaging and thought provoking storyteller as ever! Hope to see him in Vancouver every year.
Great content and execution but mic / sound was distorting when he held it too close.
The show was absolutely amazing. Funny and relatable. The venue was not so amazing. I feel like knowing you need to get vaccinated id and passes plus tickets will take time, why not employ some people to have the line moving. We stood in like for over an hour and it was downpour rain that day. We all got sick. Our jackets were so soaked they got our clothes wet too. There was not structure as to where the line up begins. People were just merging everywhere. Next time either set up cones so people know where to stand cause it’s not fair that people who came after us just someone merge into the line amd get in before us.
Loved the show, the venue was great. However, the organizers should have made better arrangements keeping with the weather in mind. There were serpentine queues ....and one didnt know where they began or where to join in.
My wife and I had seen that the there was a significant lineup around 7:25, so we decided to wait in our car until closer to 8 thinking that they would let people in closer to 8. We started making our way to the venue around 7:55 only to find the lineup had wrapped around both ends of the block and it didn't appear to be moving. In addition there were 2 lineups leading to more confusion. There were no signs or staff members directing us anywhere or giving out information so people were stuck asking each other and joining a line with the hope that it lead to the entrance. The performance was scheduled at 8, only by 8:45 did it seem like everyone would be let in. We had only seen a single person checking tickets and another checking for vaccination passes. We had even heard the signal from inside warning that, "The performance will start in 5 minutes". As a result we missed most of the opening act. Very disappointed in how the lineup was handled.
Hasan does not disappoint!! Loved the entire show - so much laughters and a few tears as well. I admire him as a person and as a comedian. Also loved the fact he locked our phones LOL people can't be trusted 😂
Master class of comedy. Hasan Minhaj is an excellent comedian. This show has great energy, great audience engagement, and is absolutely hilarious. I took a friend who had never watched any of Hasan's material before and he was laughing the whole time. Highly recommend both this show and Hasan Minhaj's comedy in general.
Hasan was absolutely fantastic. No complaints at all, seriously funny and awesome guy. However, the venue was a gong show. We first waited over an hour in the pouring rain to get in, and the show had to be pushed back 45 minutes to accommodate. The line wrapped in multiple directions, nobody knew where they were supposed to line up, and people kept creating new branches with no instruction from employees. When we finally got inside, the washroom looked like it had been ran through by a stampede of bulls. It was seriously disgusting. And then I get in my stall, and THERE IS A HOLE WHERE THE TOILET PAPER DISPENSER WAS RIPPED OUT, and I COULD SEE THE PERSON BESIDE ME. It looked like absolute trash, I expect much better from such a high end venue.
Hasan was excellent on stage and the laughs kept on coming! His show is a masterpiece that will be remembered for a long time. The only gripe was that the show was delayed for almost an hour due to the lineups getting into QE theatre. It was pouring out and, despite lining up 40mins early, we had to wait in lineups around the block to get in. Hopefully QE can adjust for future shows and allow for more time between back to back shows.
So cool of Hasan to share so much about himself and it was memorable
Although, I was sitting at the back of the theatre, Hasan managed to make me laugh just as hard as I laugh watching him on Netflix. The show was great but the audio could've used some improvement. It felt like the speakers are only in the front and people at the back were also listening from those speakers so the sound wasn't as loud as I'd hoped. Speakers at the back could definitely help. As for the show, I loved it!
Worth EVERY PENNY!! Highly recommend going to see him.
hasan was great but the venue was very disorganized. the show was supposed to start at 8 and started after 9. i got there before 7:15, waited in the rain to get in and they had started the show before i even got in. it was disappointing.
This man is a genius! Literally travelled all the way from Toronto to Vancouver to catch the show and I’m so glad I did. This show is so wholesome and raw and an emotional rollercoaster.
Whenever someone on stage opens a bit with "Studies show..." or constantly presents charts and graphs to proove a point you feel like you are listening to a lecture series. The topics presented were important and humour was blended in nicely but as Hasan said himself "You may be wondering when are the jokes coming?"... Well they came at the end and were far too few to make this a true comedy show.
Feeling incredibly grateful to call Hasan Minhaj's Before the Storm my first comedy experience! He skillfully used real-world current events with the perfect level of comedy. He connected incredibly well with the Toronto crowd and his opener Huda was a terrific choice - LOVED her!
first time watching hasan live and it was great. quite a bit of political talk which i thought was amazing and a great wrap up of comedy at the end. great show.
Hasan was really funny and the opening act was funny too. Would have been better if they used the screen to show Hasan because we couldn’t see him well.
