He's probably better sober than he ever was when he was writing everything super high


Why did they feel the need to lock everyone’s phone? How bizarre!

If you absolutely cannot be separated form the world for an event, then you can choose not to go to the event, or you can get something like an old-school vibrating pager (many can be texted directly like a phone, but there is, of course, no recording capability).


We received a call and staff unlocked it for us - NBD. Thankfully, there was enough staff.

Great show, OP!

I have friends who just went to see Chris Rock and Kevin Hart. They had to keep their phones in a magnetically locked bag, then the venue had people unlocking them when the show was over.

I thought Seaton Smith was excellent. Dan Levy was blah for me. Mulaney was good, I hope he can stay sober. I'd love to see what he could be capable in a few years.

^That was probably weak. It was a great show. There are times I was doing that laughing where you can't breathe thing!

I was. Could have lived without having my phone locked up but the show was great and for once I knew both openers.

Who else was there? What a great show. Openers were fantastic as well.
