Jon Dore opened up and he was really funny. Joel was awesome. He did jokes that they talk about on The Soup and he talked about Community. It was a great night all around!
My fiance and I crossed into Canada via "the Bridge" (I'm Canadian and he's American). We apparently got into the slowest lane at the Ambassador Bridge, and the Canadian Customs Inspector seemed to be "extremely" thorough with several of the people ahead of us, making us nervous of what to expect on this visit (our previous one was "interesting" to say the least!). We had to wait at least 25 minutes to get to the inspector, and he only asked us, maybe 4 questions, before waving us through. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the construction at College and University, and again at University and Ouellete. Making us later than we antivipated to the parking structure at Caesers. Then, the parking structure at Caesars Windsors was FULL, and they re-routed us to the over-flow parking 6 blocks away. This left us a 1/2 hour to eat, when we got to the border with 1 1/2 hours to spare!! :( BUT...the actual Joel McHale experience was GREATLY enjoyable and I would definitely see him again!!! His opening act was VERY GOOD too!!! (and he was Canadian!!) :)
The show was very funny we had a blast. We had great seats and great service from staff.
Great show, but could have been longer. He is so funny!
The show was very funny. Not the kind of stuff where you laugh because everyone else is, or you think "Hey I'm out for a night of comedy so I am supposed to laugh at everything this guy says". No, I enjoyed it because I thought it was genuinely funny.
A couple of the laughs made it totally worth it. a 'little' long in places, but flowed good and was very funny. Donald Glover was great as an opener.
San Diego becomes the nerd and geek hub every summer for Comic-Con. Two "cool" Vancouverites need to cleanse their palates from the 125,000 zombies, steam punksters and graphic novelists. In comes hot hipster Joel McHale, laughs ensue, and all thoughts of slide rules and bloggers become a distant memory for a couple of hours. Onto the real stuff - the solid opening was Web soup comedian (insert name). Then...Joel McHale. 90 minutes of Soup and other very funny stories. Quick, smart, charming, ad-libbing Joel McHale. I can't remember what the tickets cost, but the show was worth every cent x 2. Go see this man now - laughter and lusty thoughts guaranteed!
Joel McCale was hilarious! He had a good mix of stuff from "The Soup" and some of his own stand-up. The show was a good length and I laughed the whole way through! Nob Hill Masonic Center was a good venue, although a bit smaller would have been nice!
