| - I love Louie Anderson and I've been really looking forward to seeing him live. This was not a disappointment. The venue is nicely intimate, so you really feel like you're getting a good live show, not just watching something on TV. I've been following his standup for years and I've read most of his books, so I feel like I already know all the people he's joking about, like his parents and siblings. Louie definitely tailors his show for the specific audience, so you'll likely get a different show every time you see him. One of the biggest laughs he got was when he was lamenting that we can't just change the constitution and vote Bill Clinton back in. The whole audience appreciated that one!
I loved that he really took time to chat with people who stood in line to buy books, t-shirts, and/or DVDs and signed everything. It really makes a difference from a lot of comedians who won't even emerge from the green room except to perform, then sneak out the back.
Louie was excellent and if you already like his humour, this show will be a great experience.
P.S. - Drink service was attentive and the opener was great, too, which is also a rarity!
