We've seen Lewis before but not Kathleen. Got to know her comedy through 820AM. Both comedians were incredibly funny. I truly hope they tour again soon.
Two of the best comedians on the road today. If you get a chance see them, go!!!
Lewis gave his usual sharp critique of politics, life and other observations. He was current, fair in his comments and used Canadian content as examples or contrast. And of course didn't disappoint with his rants. Kathleen was very funny. Her observations in general were good but her stories about her family were extremely funny. Didn't realize how short she was but it didn't stop her from having command of stage and audience. Excellent night.
It was a really good time, both were very funny, both interacted with the audience. I will go again when they come back.
I knew it would be good,..but seriously my cheek muscles hurt from laughing and smiling so much! Needed medicine.
started on time....surprised some (late comers) that he started the show then returned at the end to his usual question....great show...very very diappointed that our seats were changed...to very inferior location
This was my second time seeing Lewis Black, I caught him at the NAC in Ottawa a couple of years ago. He was outstanding! While this performance was very good, FOR MY TASTE, he was a little heavy on the political environment his country is going through. I just really appreciated the stories that Mr. Black told at the previous performance I had been to. Kathleen Madigan was on stage next. She dwelled a bit on the politics as well, but not as much. Finished up by responding to rants that the audience had submitted. This was novel, and pretty good.
Very political, I think we need to get away from politics at this point. We are drowning in it and look for something else. No intermission between acts.
Lewis Black is as cutting now with his observational humour as ever. Trump is an easy target but fortunately it wasn't the whole evening. Oddly enough while he was on some members of the audience were a bit of a dick but he took it in stride. By the way the woman that yelled at someone else to put their phone away was right on. Phone person was irritating. Kathleen Madigan was very funny talking about her family, health care etc. and although this was the last show of the tour I recommend both of them if you get the opportunity. At the end of the show they did a "rant" which most of the audience didn't seem to understand. It wasn't improv but talking points by Lewis and Kathleen had been solicited from the audience before the show started.
Good to see Lewis in person and feel the full effect of his wit! Kathleen Madigan was an unexpected enjoyable surprise!
This was our first live Lewis Black show and we left crying !!!! Lewis is entertaining, brilliant, hillarious, and has the Best sense of humour anywhere. Combined with Kathleen Madigan, it was a spectacular comedy comet to ever hit this planet !!!! My husband and I absolutely recommend an evening with Lewis and or Kathleen !!!!
Was an excellent show. Both Lewis and Kathleen were at their usual best.. Although most of the humour is based off US politics, they both Canadianized the show as well. Show lasted 2 hours which is great, yet it flew by.
As usual, Lewis Black was predictably hilarious. Kathleen Madigan is a real gem in the comedy world. So glad we got to enjoy them together.
I bought tickets for my husband Gary and our family friend Frank. They came home still laughing. They said the show was incredible. What brilliantly talented comedians. During times like this laughter truly is the best medicine!
I haven't laughed this much or hard for a long time ... great show! Lewis manages to present current issues with his "special" humour and still get his point across. I was impressed that he talked about mental illness and the lack of support for people who have mental illness problems; he made a strong point for the need to improve how mental illness is treated but still made you smile.
This was a birthday gift for my daughter who just loves the comedy of Lewis and Kathleen. She and I laughed the whole night. It was such a great night and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to just enjoy two great comics.
Lewis started with 15 minutes of hilarious comedy but then went into a boring half hour of Trump Kathleen was Great she had the crowd laughing from start to finish The live stream question period was terrible very unfunny
A couple of laughs with Lewis Black but generally not impressed. Kathleen Madigan on the other hand, was excellent . She saved the show from getting a lower rating.
This show was all I had hoped. I have been a fan of both Lewis Black (enjoyed his appearances on the Daily Show) and Kathleen Madigan for years. Very enjoyable and happy to have seen them live.
Black and Madigan complimented each other perfectly. They both have their own unique style but their styles meshed together so well. Hilarious! Venue was just the right size for such a show!
