Colin Jost did not disappoint. I got to see him at a small venue and it felt like we were just hanging out and he was the funny friend. He had all new and current material. It was an awesome night and I would recommend seeing him to anyone who enjoys him on SNL!
First comic was okay. Second comic, Michael Longfellow, was so so, bordering on not funny at all. Colin Jost was funny but disjointed. Not much flow to his material. Best part was Colin’s discussion of SNL skits he proposed in the past which didn’t air. Al in all a pretty mediocre show.
What a fun witty Man..Loved the every minute of his performance..Looking forward to see him again in another Venue
Everyone who came to his show was amazing! Pleasantly surprised when Emil Wakim came out instead of Michael Longfellow. They started and ended on time.
Marcello Hernandez was the clear star of this multi-comedian show. Others were pretty good, with one exception - Colin Jost was truly disappointing. His material was dated and his delivery made it clear that he was just dialing it in. His stories (I can’t even call them jokes) were exaggerated and not very funny. Marcello, on the other hand, was hilarious! His performance alone was worth the price of admission.
When I go to see comedians, I tend to look at the nuances of the craft and judge based on the performer's grasp of the small stuff. While I was happy to see, in person, several of the SNL actors and KC, the writer, I was disappointed that I was not engaged nonstop. Only three comedians have had me from beginning to end: Rodney Dangerfield (1980), Ralphie May (2019, RIP) and Seinfeld. I came home from this show and immediately bought tickets to see Seinfeld, again, in July, as he works on the details of the craft. For $55, Colin Jost and friends was fine, with Marcello's energy leading the pack.
I was a little nervous given the previous bad reviews, but this was a great show! Colin was funny, and James Austin Butler and Marcelo Hernandez were also excellent. We had a great time!
We enjoyed the show very much, including all the comedians. We thought Marcello Hernandez was particularly funny. He is a superstar!
Colin was the weakest. Marcello was excellent. Other undercard was strong. Tbh standup was not their strength and it shows
I was disappointed with Colin Jost. Opening acts were good, but Jost’s set was low-energy and slow-paced. It was like there was very little prep work.
