Greatest hour and a half in my life
I had front row tickets to John Mulaney. My friend and I did not stop laughing throughout the entire performance (even when he wasn't talking we were still laughing). This was probably his best special so far and everyone should watch it on Netflix (out now)!!!! My friend and I were laughing so hard at one joke that John started to laugh. He was actually interacting with the audience a lot so don't be an asshole and show up late or leave in the middle of it. I will definitely be back to see his next tour whenever it comes out. This show was the best hour and a half in my life because it was so unbelievably funny. By the end of the show I couldn't even laugh anymore--I started wheezing. John is amazing and everyone should watch his specials on Netflix.

Just OK - Far From Great - Not Even Good Actually
He lacked enthusiasm. Complained a lot about people getting up during performance and using the bathroom. People tend to drink during a night out, not sure if he knows that. Both he and his opener had a bit about body changing as we get older, so I thought it was hypocritical to dog people for getting up to take a leak as the bladder changes quite a bit from the teenage years to the 30's and beyond. He clearly was frustrated about that, but the rate was really not out of the ordinary. The more he talked about it though, the more I felt I had to go myself, which I did. Anyway, the show was toward the end of the tour so maybe he was just sick of saying the same jokes, I don't know, but I wouldn't bother seeing him again. His presence on stage was the same as it has been on all the shows he's been on promoting "Kid Gorgeous". He gave away half his material on SNL and other shows, so basically exposure overload. I'd rather go in fresh than be able to know where he is going with the material. He made a joke about Florida and its people but didn't hit home. Clearly didn't know the current demographics of Florida today (South America). He seemed to go off of what the population consisted of in the '70's really, old retired folk and I think he threw Alligators in there too (Ya, OK). The comedian who opened was unwatchable and awkward, and the way he spoke was way too close to Mulaney (both in style and speech), I don't know if by design, but that's a bad call. Mulaneyesq overload by the time the comic I went to see actually got on stage.

That tall child was hilarious!
The wait for John M to swing by South Florida was well worth the wait. If you've seen any of his special or are a fan of his, or comedy in general, I highly recommend seeing him live.

John is great!
The show was so much fun. I laughed until my cheeks hurt. His commentary about the audience really highlighted how funny he was on the spot. Some of the jokes were used on SNL or other talk show interviews, so they were not "new" but they were still funny the second time around. His opener was also great. Would see him a third time!

John was amazing and did not miss a beat. The whole show I was laughing so hard I started to tear up! Great interaction with the audience and he had the perfect opener for the show. Loved it!!!

Mulaney is the Man!
I went with a friend to see John Mulaney in his new stand up act. We laughed so hard that my throat was sore the next day. He is soooo funny. The best part was “street smarts” but “a horse in the hospital” was a close second!
