Joel McHale put on an AMAZING show! He went for almost 2 hours solid, and I could have listened to him for hours more. He did a great job keeping things relatable to the audience and much to my (pleasant) surprise he wasn't overly crude! I got a chance to meet him after the show as well and he was a super cool guy. Highly recommend checking out one of his shows if you get a chance.
Joel gave an enjoyable, entertaining show. I had a good time, thanks Joel!
It was all around a really good show. Joel's opening act was really funny, a lot better then most opening acts I've seen. Joel exceeded my expectations. He appeals to both men and women. Great show...
Such a great show. He is a very talented comedian. Come back to Winnipeg soon!
Joel McHale is hilarious, he was on stage for about 100 minutes and never stopped with his anecdotes/jokes/stories. The audience was constantly laughing and nothing or anybody was off limits.
Joel McHale was good. Talked about his experiences doing 'The Soup'.. chance meetings with Celebs and how they reacted to his 'The Soup' comments.. FUNNY! Enjoyed myself.
Extremely funny. I would love to see him again, but closer.
I laughed so hard that I snorted! Everyone needs to see Joel in person - it's like being at a live taping of the Soup - but it lasts over an hour. Amazing time!!!
I had a GREAT time at this event. Joel McHale is VERY funny and it was well worth the money. Highly recommend!
I bought tickets to this not expecting too much but had a great time. Joel was funny and likable just as he is on television. He brought a lot of energy and did a great show. The crown was laughing the whole show including the warm up comic. Make him tell the Chevy story before he leaves the stage. Not sure if he forgot but he said there would be a story about Chevy Chase. Have fun!
Seeing Joel McHale live was an awesome experience! He was hilarious, and put on a great show! It lasted over an hour, easily making it worth the price of the ticket. He obviously changed up his routine from his other shows on the tour, since he made a number of jokes about Canada. He was sooo funny, I would recommend anyone who gets the chance to go see him to do it, especially fans of The Soup and/or Community (#sixseasonsandamovie!)
Super show. Noun atop laughs. Wil definitely see Joel proform again.
Joel McHale was excellent. If you enjoy him in Community, I would heartily recommend that you see his show.
We drove 3.5 hours to see this show at Casino Rama and it was worth it. Joel was really entertaining. I love The Soup and much of his set was like watching a live episode of The Soup. It was also great that he knew some things about Canada and was able to incorporate this knowledge into his jokes. The opening act (Dan Bolger I think this was his name) was okay. Most of his jokes were American audience based. Joel definitely gave us our money's worth as the show was 1.5 hours +. The only thing that would have made the show better is if he did the whole set shirtless.
My wife and I really enjoyed the show. Joel McHale is as funny as he is on tv. Same personality and attitude as on his shows the Soup and Community. As a stand up comedian we were pleasantly surprised. 5 stars highly recommended!
Joel mchale was amazing. I have only seen Tim Allen's comedian act and I think Joel mchale was by far the funniest :) we watch community constently and can't wait for him to come back to Canada
Joel was even better live than he is on the soup. I laughed from beginning to end. Can't wait for him to come back... Would see him again in a heart beat.
Truth be told, I mainly bought these for my husband, who's a fan of both The Soup and Community...However, I'm so glad we went...Even though the tickets were rather pricy, this man made it worth it!!!....He was very funny, a little crude and made fun a lot of Ryan Seacrest as well as other E! television shows....He put on (if I can remember) at least an hour and a half show (might have been closer to 2 hours)....If he should play Windsor (or somewhere not too far away) again in the future, we'll be there :) For those of you who have NOT seen this guy's standup, GO DO IT....You will NOT be disappointed.
I made the long drive from Toronto to Windsor but wasn't disappointed. Joel was his typically funny self and it was like having "the Soup" for around an hour and a half. The first guy up wasn't really entertaining but McHale made up for it with a good mix of celebrity talk, family-related jokes and regular stand-up stuff.
He is obviously a very naturally funny guy - great night!
