| - I've been waiting for a while to write this particular review because I wasn't sure how to approach it from an unbiased standpoint.
Firstly, I was a fan of Marc Savard well before I ever saw his show at the V Theatre. Clips here and there, hearsay reputation (all positive) and my fascination of hypnosis and the power of suggestibility all pointed to a favorable bias.
That all said, the show relies heavily upon those that volunteer at the beginning. I've heard from other people that the routine stays the same, but I can only imagine how different the show is for Savard and his assistant(s) every night.
On the particular night that I went, compared to the youtube videos I'd seen, the show wasn't as R-rated as I'd anticipated. (Not a gripe, just an observation.) But it was still super funny and I've never seen my boyfriend laugh to the point where he did the "I'm waving my hands because I can't breathe" dance.
(And I think that had I not jabbed him in the arm while Savard was putting his volunteers under, my boyfriend would've ended up participating from the audience!)
I've seen prices for his tickets vary from 70 dollars a pop to gratis. All depends where you go and how far in advance you try to acquire tickets, but I think the information desk at the shops at Planet Hollywood have daily 2-4-1 specials if you're a "walk-in" and decide to see him the same day.
We got the aforementioned deal and spent 54 bucks, including taxes, for two tickets and I think it was worth the money.
Bottom line: The most affordable and the funniest show starring a French-Canadian in Las Vegas. Go see him!
