Norm Macdonald

It was good venue was exceptional can't wait to see a band there. Norm was funny wished he could have done some SNL bit

Considering this was my first big comedy show I've ever been too, this was the perfect show for me. The show was already sold out..and then scored a couple front row tix just couple days before the show. I couldn't be any happier. Amazing show, recommend this to anyone who asks. Norm was amazing, (reason why I went) I didn't know who Kevin Nealon was, but he was alright! If I could relive this I would! Lol

Wow. Norm MacDonald (SNL '93-'98, Dirty Work) was the funniest comic i've seen in a long time, and that includes Bob Saget and Gabe Iglesias. His jokes are kind of like Ricky Gervais', as in he makes the un-funniest things seem funny: - Bowel cancer - Heart attacks - Electric chairs - Death row If you appreciate good comedy, definitely check this guy out. For show dates, theaters, and tickets, check out normmacdonald.com

The venue was hot! Norm was dressed in a suit and I was more hot looking at him. He was good but I had already heard some of the material on Howard Stern a few weeks back.

...a good performance overall for Norm. He has a style all his own, making him difficult for some, but if you like his work over the past 10+ years he didn't disappoint.

This was the first time I've seen Norm. Extremely worth the investment. I am definitely looking forward to seeing him again. Norm is definitely "rawer" live. And in particular this show. He lets it loose.

i think you have to know norm's sense of humor to be able to enjoy his show. norm doesn't really have jokes, he has funny observations. he kind of seems like he's making it up as he goes along. i hope he comes back again next year.

First Time at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom! Great place to see an event! Norm had us laughing the entire show! I hope he comes back next year!

After years of being in the comedy business Norm is still as funny as the day he first started telling jokes. He did a great show with lots of laughs non stop jokes and all with the same energy he had telling jokes years ago. I really enjoyed his humor and anyone that is a fan of Norm should not miss any of his stand up events!

it was great to see norm macdonald do stand-up again...true fans totally got it! all i can say is classic norm!

I sat in general admission so it was a little far from the stage. We had 5 complete jerks behind us talking so loudly throughout the show that we couldn't hear a lot of the jokes. They must not have paid for tickets because they had absolutely no interest in the show. Otherwise, Norm was his usual dry funny self. He had somre really good jokes but because he kinda mumbles at times, he's hard to hear. Not sure if this would have been a better one to watch at home on tv. Seems like the crowd didn't necessarily get all his jokes.

The show was good, humor was still on point and what you expect from Norm MacDonald. Started off slow, but after his first redbull he took traditional form.

From the subdued and boring opening act to Norm, the comedy was just not there. Sure, there were a few moments but the laughs were just spars.

Norm was in prime form. Great show, tremendously funny.

I'll be the first to admit, Norm is not for everybody. But for those who appreciate true timing and impressionistic bits about naming apples or "Big Acid", Norm was great. He will go off on these long stories, like way out on a wire and you wonder how he's going to get back and then, bang, there he is delivering a punch line.

Norm seemed a bit under the weather and i think that may have been the reason the show felt sluggish at times. Alot of the jokes ive heard in the past on talk show standup but a fun night nonetheless.

I was seated in back of the mezzanine and had a good view of the stage. Norm is a very funny guy, and I really enjoyed his material, but I'm confused about one thing. Why would the venue be selling liquor when Norm was taping a special? I was surrounded by obnoxious drunks, yelling constantly, trying to make their own jokes in response to Norm's (it's not supposed to be an interactive experience, at least not to that extent!), people had laughing fits that wenire completely distracting, and people were getting up and blocking others' views practically the whole show. Inconsiderate. And there was very little leg room in the mezzanine section. I would attend a show at this venue again but only if my seat is on the main floor closer to the stage, hopefully sufficiently far away from the drunks in the back. I can't recommend this venue at this time.

Norm is a pro and he delivered as such. Laughs from beginning to end. This was my second time seeing him in the last 5 months. Great show. Would see him again!

Was not a fan of his suicide material...hit home. But all his other material was pretty awesome.

Great show. I saw Norm last year and was disappointed. This show was fabulous! Highly recommend seeing him.

finally got to see my white whale of comedy, Norm Macdonald hot on the heels of his book release. He was totally dialed in, Cobb's was sold out and he had them in the palm of his hand. practiced material and crowd work both seemed effortless. Norm is a must-see. the best storyteller in the business.

I went to the Sunday show. I do like Norm's standup but he did not perform well at all that day. I'm not trying to be funny, but it seemed like he was on some sort of medication. He was really out of it. Or maybe he partied too hard on the weekend and didn't have the energy. Next time I'll try to go to a Friday show.

Go see Norm Macdonald. He is one of the great comedians of our time.

Norm was absolutely wonderful! I cannot praise him enough. I am a huge fan. I've listened to every podcast, read his book and practically watched every youtube clip of him and every joke was new to me. I was super impressed. His jokes were random and hilarious. I went to his last show of the weekend and he went 30 minutes over because he said his favorite part of traveling is being on stage and he just wanted to stay up there. He even stayed late to take pics and talk to people. He was so kind and sweet. Norm is truly an original. There is no other comedian like him. YOU MUST SEE HIM!

I have been a fan of Norm since I saw him on his first performance on Letterman in the '90's. I love his humor....he always makes me laugh. In fact, at this Cobb's performance, he came out on stage and just stood there for a bit waiting for the audience to quiet down...everyone just began to laugh as soon as he stepped out on stage. Will be there when he returns to the city!!

Maybe the earlier show was better I don't know. I love Norm's dry comedy, but this was terrible. There were no "jokes", just droning on. He was out of it. Disappointing waste of an evening...I did not imagine this being a bad show.

I'm pretty sure he was drunk during our show, slurring words and rambling on. Maybe it would have been better to see him earlier in the day?

It was OK. Was Norm sober? I enjoyed the woman who opened that works there. She was funny- 4stars for her.

Norm is one of the funniest people on earth and he lived up to it. He can tell a story like no other. Saw him last year and maybe 5 minutes were similar. He stayed on stage past his "time" and if minute worth it. Had not seen Fred Stoller before but what a lead in. Self deprecating but in a different way than most. Hope to see them both again! dolph

Well to sum it up, out of a group of 4, each one of us fell asleep at one point during the show. Yes, some parts were funny, but he was everywhere. Could not understand him at points and was just confused throughout the show.

Norm was great. You can tell this guy is just like everybody else and loves his fans.

Watched the second show and Norm was great. He went long, was on stage for probably 2 hours total. Only about half the act seemed to be his scripted stuff as he went improv quite a a bit, playing off the crowd and just being his general goofy self. I am biased because Norm is my all-time favorite comedian, but I can definitely say this was the best of the three times I have seen him. The other two shows, while funny, were more to the book of what he had planned. This was more unique. Norm off the cuff has always been at his best, from his days of late night appearances and weekend update. Glad I got to see that live. If you love Norm you'll love him live. Also for a special guest opener in Fred Stoller who was hilarious when I was expecting a no-name *negative on the venue* zero crowd control. The show started a half hour late and by. That point there was a herd of people filling a small space outside where the doors opened, no lines, and no one outside at all controlling it. One guy finally opened the door and we stampeded in. Inside it still felt way understaffed. Nobody showing anyone to seats etc. I also generally expect waitresses in comedy venues, but that's not as big a deal

My husband and I were fans of Norm when he was on SNL. We were looking forward to his 'spot on' impressions of Burt Reynolds, David Letterman and more recently of Bill Cosby. This recent stand up routine was inconsistent at best. He seemed unprepared and lacked energy. Mostly this was just unfunny. I actually started to doze off at one point as did my husband during the last half hour of the performance. There were a few chuckles at his Bill Cosby digs but he never did an actual impression. Everything was in his own voice. Most of his routine was spent on rambling stories that never culminated with a a great punch line.

His stand up is a must see for all. From the Bible to Bill Cosby, his jokes are hilarious and non-offensive. The show felt like a laid-back man sharing his perspective. Before the show, my opinion of Norm was yeah, he's okay. After seeing him, I absolutely love him.

He just keeps evolving his humor and switching it up. Norm is never tired or repetitive. We see him every time he comes!

I was so looking forward to seeing him at the Wilbur last Saturday because he used to be so funny and I really enjoyed his TV show. Unfortunately, he was that funny. There were a few laughs, but most of his jokes/stories went on so long that when he finally got to the punchline it either was not funny or didn't make sense. A lot of people were clapping and laughing, but I do not know why. My husband fell asleep. I am very easy to please, but I will not go see him again. Maybe he wasn't feeling well.

BORING. I liked Norm on SNL, but in his stand up he takes too long to get to the punch line. He took about 5 minutes to tell a "dirty Johnny joke" which IMO wasn't very funny and that was the final joke which a person would think save the best for last. Disappointing.

The show was so bad two of us actually fell asleep. Barley got a few chuckles and he seemed drunk. So disappointed!!

Fred Stoeller was a nice surprise, first of all. There's nothing like Norm's rambling long jokes that somehow only HE can make work! Just hilarious all the way through, just like he always is....

Either norm McDonald had a stroke ten minutes before getting on stage or he was under the influence heavily. You could not understand one word he said all you could hear was him chuckling and mumbling under his breath.

I didn't think things could go downhill from after the "joke" about the marathon bombing but I was wrong. The material was tired and not very funny. Norm seemed to be slurring his words.

Norm MacDonald Had Style, Class, & was rather Godlike in his retrospective, sly delivery of all new topics I've never heard before. He would be perfect for president (( though Canadian )) because he: " knows nothing about politics" = stated as such repeatedly in his own words. It was refreshing to see him live and his totally ! APOLITICAL ! comedy. He gets 5 stars from me.

...even when he s being his usual snarky self. My only beef would be with the venue when I asked someone if we could meet him, and of course got the requisite response: I m afraid Norm s already been escorted from the building. (and via \u2018the underground too, no less) Awwwwwwww!!! I took my 23-year-old last minute on a surprise Vegas road trip to see the show for his birthday. Norm is his favorite comedian. Setting it up for him to actually meet him face to face too would have made me Mother of the Year.

Just a different sense of humor. Does not disappoint. Had a great time

Norm McDonald was the worst comedian I've ever seen. He was completely incoherent, visibly inebriated, and caused the show to begin 45 minutes late. I felt bad for opening acts and the waitstaff as they did their best to compensate for Norm's behavior. I felt bad for Norm McDonald as he must really be at a low point in his life. Cobb's waitstaff was top notch in getting people drinks and food quickly, and providing checks quickly when the crowd started leaving early. Save your money and don't see this comedian.

Norm's my favorite. His show was horrible. I didn't laugh once. Sigh.

Norm was obviously heavily intoxicated for both shows. Cobb's should have canceled the second show and refunded our tickets.

Very disappointed in performance which was mumbled.

Nonsensical mumbling. Not one funny joke. If sad was funny, he would dominate. Norm used to be my favorite comedian but stand up on LSD is just not his thing anymore.

People Legit Left 3/4 of the way through the show because it was so bad. I don t know if he was high on drugs or hammered but you couldn t understand what he was saying. Heard about 8 laughs total in a 50min set.

I am a huge Norm macDonald fan but this show was a large disappointment. The show started very late and after three openers, Norm spent roughly 20 incoherent minutes trying to remember jokes and taking long sips from his Red Bull. The crowd was so excited at first and people left before the set was over.

I love Norm. Pretty sure I always will. However, his performance was cringeworthy. He mumbled through large parts of his set. He was often inaudible. I had to lean forward in my chair to catch what he was saying. He said in his set that he doesn't drink so I guess it was some medication or recreational drug that was affecting him. He was nursing a red bull through the whole set seemingly in hope that it would jolt him out of his stupor. It was heartbreaking to see. Some even walked out in the middle of his set. I have seen Norm before and loved every minute. This show was difficult to sit through. I hope Norm gets the help he needs to bring his old self back. As bummed as I was by this show, I will probably still try to see him again in hopes he returns to form.

Besides the MC (opening act), the evening was terrible, with the middle act being the worst! But Norm was a close second. I could understand maybe half of what he was saying as he mumbles and slurs as if he's drunk. So completely disappointed!

Semi-coherent, slurring his words, sucking on a Red Bull to get his energy up. Seems like he s slumming\u2014barely intelligible. A few good jokes but mangled the punchline on his Dirty Andy joke.

I was dissaoipented by Norm . He looked tired and kept talking about he just arrived from Vegas , and you can tell by his act.

Hilarious. He's right - hypocrisy is not the worst thing about Cosby!

Norm was hilarious. His deadpan delivery and dry humor were a hit. Some audience members clearly could not understand his jokes, not sure what they were expecting. The openers were also funny except for the Revenge of the Nerds 2 guy. I did not really like the venue (San Jose Improv) and would not return there.

Went to see Norm with my son, who had discovered him watching old "Weekend Update" clips on YouTube. Norm was very funny...in a Norm sort of way. His delivery is just, well, indescribable. He is all over the place. Some funny political bits, crazy Dracula and Wolfman references. An homage to his dad and his son. A fun night. Great venue!

Very funny show. A lot of laughs. Everyone had a great time.

Norm Macdonald was as funny a he was charming. His signature delivery had me cracking up from start to finish! He deserves a lot more credit for his standup.

Norm is one of the best stand ups there is. He did a great show. The only complaint would have to be the opening act. She was unprepared and generally unfunny.

Great show! Laughed till I cried. Highly recommend!

Excited to see Norm live but, a bit disappointed that 3-4 jokes he told were fairly old. The Las Vegas escort joke, for example.

Probably the worst stand-up show that I have been to. At times it seemed that he was just taking thoughts off the top of his head and I didn't enjoy most of his subject material such as manslaughter and suicide.

The opener was good and norm was amazing. Really funny I'm looking forward to his Netflix special also his new book is worth checking out.

Norm was hysterical. Thanks for a great night. Will be back next time in town.

Norm was hilarious. Just naturally funny guy! I didn't care for the guy who opened for him!

Norm delivered a night of laughs. He makes it seem so easy to tell hilarious jokes and observations- the time flew by!

Norm was fantastic! His comic timing and unique voice haven't changed at all since his SNL days.

Did not laugh once. He seemed to be intoxicated and red bull helped by the end.

Hilarious, and 90% clean. Norm must have gone 30 minutes over his allotted time, ignoring the flashing red light at the back of the theater.

I have seen Carlin, Louis CK and others but let me tell you, Norm's show was the funniest!! My belly literally hurt the next day from laughter. I didn't want the show to end!!

Norm in no way disappointed when it came to delivering his jokes. I laughed so hard from beginning to end. If you're a fan of different, sometimes crude, and off the beaten path humor, then Norm is the man to see!

If you are a fan of Norm you will love this show. Honestly I don't even think it matters what he says...its his delivery, phrasing, and expressions...Norm is the best.

I'm a big Norm MacDonald fan and chose to see him in concert. To be fair, he clearly had some sort of a cold and was coughing throughout the show; that said, his routine was unstructured and appeared to lack the preparation I have come to expect from comedy shows and comedians. Certain jokes were funny, but the show as a whole was very average. His opening act was also very mediocre - the "Athiest Jewish Guy" or something like that.

I was less than impressed with the Norm McDonald show. His story line was really hard to follow and could not really understand him due to his coughing and mumbling fits. Not the best show. Would not recommend.

My husband and I go to several stand-ups a year, Norm was absolutely amazing. Very natural and very funny. I would definitely see him again...I will see him again!

Norm was great. The holy atheist opener was really good also. Really enjoyed it

The whole time you are wondering - does he realize he sounds like this? What an honour to see a classic like Norm. I have been a huge fan of his irreverent style since Dirty Work.

We got good Norm at 10PM, much tighter than 7:30. He said he had eaten a delicious pork chop. That's probably why.

I was disappointed by this show. I have seen Norm Macdonald many times on various television shows, and always liked him. He was not "right" at this show, and seemed to be under the influence of "something". Way too many long pauses that made him look lost and confused. There were a few funny moments when Macdonald put a story together coherently, but I left very the Wilbur very disappointed. He was out of it.

Show was good, went to the later show. Sat at a 2 person table with my wife! She loved the seats. The first guy came out a did a little act for about 20 min., he was ok, not great but not bad. The second guy Seth O'Connor was awesome! He did his act for like 30-40 minutes. He killed it! Then Norm came on stage and he did a 1 hour stand up where he was average but yet still good.

This was my second time seeing Norm, and it was good as the first time. I love his style of rambling between different stories, and tying everything together as he moves through.

I had the pleasure of seeing Norm Macdonald at the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee, MA this past weekend. The first two comedians who warmed up the crowd were excellent - both top notch comics. Then Norm came out and did well over an hour of standup, all of which was side-splitting funny. I hope he comes back around soon, so I can catch another show. Definitely well worth the money spent on tickets!

Norm Macdonald delivers again! Love him as Mike Tyson's sidekick on Mike Tyson Mysteries.

Great show, typical Norm, first time going and loved it. WIll go again and again.

The location was great, the Service and food was excellent, the headliner was not good at all.

Norm is the man! I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes..

Norm's stand up act is awesome ... he killed ... if you are a fan of comedy .... Norm is one of the best shows you can go to. He had the place laughing all night. A Comedians Comedian ... very funny, ... tons of laughs.

norm was wasted and fumbled through the whole set....hes hilarious on the podcast and on talk shows, but not really as a stand up, or at least, not when hes drunk and has nothing prepared

I've never seen Norm do standup before and granted he's an odd guy. But he was incoherent, rambling, and generally seemed drunk/drugged. Perhaps this is his act, but in watching online clips, he is far more animated and not slurring his barely audible words. My friend fell asleep.

I go to the Wilbur Theatre for comedy events about once per month, and I was a little disappointed with Norm MacDonald's show. I was at the late show, and while some of his bits were quite funny, and the show was decent overall, I thought there were a number of times when he was floundering for what material to do next and it seemed like he didn't have a particularly tight set ready to go for the crowd. It certainly was not a bad show, but I left thinking that I wouldn't see him the next time he comes through town. In contrast, the preview show I went to, Jo Koy, was super funny and really high-energy and I was looking forward to booking tickets for his next show.

Menino must have come back to life and enter Norms body that night because he mumbled through the entire set. Clearly drugged out and could barely understand him. The opener was funny and there were a few parts through Norms set that were funny but overall not worth it.

The opener was just as good as Norm. He mumbled for the first half of the show, so it was tough to hear the jokes, however, the second half was really funny. I would definitely see him again, but I don't know that I would pay more than $25.

Norm really makes me laugh like no other comedian. His timing and dry humor is still as funny as it ever was. I can't get enough.

great stuff norm is great wibur is a nice intimate theater

I was somewhat disappointed in Norm's performance, but that might be more a matter of how high my expectations were before the fact. I love Norm. FWIW, his opening act--Sean something or other--was absolutely terrible. From the instant he ambled out onto the stage I began to dislike him. It was downhill from there. Overall grades: Norm, B- Sean F

If you like Norm because of his podcast or his appearances on Conan or stuff like that, know that his stand-up is completely different. At least for the show that I went to, he came out drunk as hell and you could barely understand him, and he just sort of made it up as he went along and it wasn't nearly as funny as when he's riffing off of someone else. I think Norm needs another person in order to be funny, which is fine, but if I were you I'd just save your money if you're thinking about going to see him do stand-up, because you'll probably be disappointed.

The warm up acts were mediocre and Norm didn't appear to have any scripted material. He seemed to be making it up as he went, which is still good enough.

2 opening comedians, I did'n really care for. My BF enjoyed them more than I did. Disappointed with the headliner. Maybe just an off day. I had heard that was good.
