My brother was at the show tonight. If I remember in the morning I'll tell him about this thread. I'll also hit him if I find out he payed $100/ticket.

Where are you deploying to, bmacd?

Then I won't tell you how much I payed bro.

I was down in the 3rd row. Got a couple nice pics, and a short video from it. Overall, it was a good show.

And it was about an hour and a half. And it really is a different experience to see it live over listening to it on CD. It's not just the joke/story telling, it's the way he acts that brings it together. I loved the Wheel of Fortune part.

I'm sorry, but you overpaid a LOT for a horribly over-rated 'comedian' who is quickly running out of any fresh material.
There isn't a comedian on the planet worth $100/ticket. There is one guy who is no longer with us, but I can't think of his name. He died in the 1990s.
Hell I only paid $10 to see Jim Florentine, $10 for Jim Norton, $15 for Nick Dipaolo, $15 for Dave Attell and a few other quality comedians for cheap. A bunch of these guys were all in one show for like $15-$20.

Dane Cook is really riding his 15 minutes of fame hard and milking all he can get from it. Took him all of 30 seconds to sell out and costar in some truly shitty movies. He commands little, if any, respect from other comedians on the circuit. His material is limited and he relies heavily on physical type delivery. While some comedians find a niche in the market, like carrot top or (to a slightly lesser extent) Gallgher, Dane doesn't have anything that stands out.

While he did have some decently funny stuff the first time around, you can only hear the same material so much. Dane will soon fade from the public eye like most comedic one-hit-wonders. I don't see him having any longevity in the industry. He sure did cash in on the current college kid crowd, but even they get bored after a while.

Hope you had a decent time though. MSG has some good hotdogs.

Going to go see him next friday in Boise with the girlfriend. I don't care too much about the show, looking forward mostly to the trip to the cabelas store in boise before the show.

Paid $52 a ticket.

What kind of music does he play?

he's a comedian.

I think he's funny, but not as funny as people make him out to be.

I went to see him a couple years ago at Madison Square Garden.

I enjoyed it

But he IS a musician... sorta.
If you can call this music.

Bill Hicks?

I personally don't think Dane is that funny. I did see something the other night that made me scratch my head. He was doing some club and was taking questions from the audience. His answer to one of the questions (don't remember what it was) was that he's never tried alcohol or drugs.

Kinda unexpected. Certainly with his personality type; well the personality he has on stage anyway.
