I'd never been to see stand-up until about 18 mos ago, and absolutely love it. In that time my girlfriend and I have seen:
-Samuel Comroe at Laugh Camp in St Paul. He was so good, we went to see him again in Des Moines. Highly recommend.
- We built a weekend vacation to Phoenix last February to see Ryan Long. The funniest comedian I've ever seen, hands down. He's at Rick Bronson's in the MOA in January. GO SEE HIM!!!
- We saw Jim Jeffries, and he was very funny. Going to see him again.
- We caught Nate Bargatze at the State Fair, he was really good.
- John Crist at the Palace Theater was really good. Didn't realize he was a "Christian comedian" until I got there, but he was great.
- We went to Andrew 'Dice' Clay at the MOA. It was better than sitting at home, but not by much.
- Had tickets to Brian Posehn at the Parkway, but I watched a Youtube video of him on stage ranting about how badly he hates Trump & anyone who votes for Trump. I cancelled my tickets. Politicis can be funny, and politicians are fair game, but what I saw bore no resemblance to comedy.
- Jay Mohr at the MOA. Only funny thing he said was as he took the stage and we all thought "Holy crap, he's really fat & looks horrible", he opened with "I know what I look like". We should have left after that.
- Dane Cook at Treasure Island, he was good, but not great.
- We went to Green Bay this summer for Shane Gillis, it was a let down. He was working on new stuff, and it wasn't on par with his Netflix specials.
- My girlfriend LOVES Jeff Dunham, so we've seen him at the Wisconsin State Fair & in Las Vegas. He's not my cup of tea, but clearly a LOT of people really like his stuff.
- Matt Rife = Pass.
- Jo Koy in Milwaukee was pretty funny.
- Chris D'elia at the State Theater was the worst comedian we've seen. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
- Zoltan, Josh Blue, and a bunch of others that were all just Ok.
