Like the Daily Show but here and live
It hardly seems like we’d have to import people from New York for political humor and I’m seriously wondering why it’s at Meriwether Post, but there are still lawn tickets for Jon Stewart available on Ticketmaster for Saturday, 16 September.
I’ve seen him a couple of times, and he’s definitely funnier in person than on television. (Just think of all the things he’s not allowed to say on television.) If you haven’t seen him before, it’s probably worth it, though I would have to think twice before seeing a comedian in an outdoor arena. I’m personally a fan of the smaller venues – crowded as it is, I like the intimacy of the Improv. If it has to be a theatre, I’ve seen some great shows at the Warner. While I’ve loved the comics, I don’t like DAR for a comedy show –it’s too big and impersonal for me. And that’s what I’d be afraid of on the lawn at Meriwether. But what do I know? It’ll be funny either way. And you already know what he looks like.
