Jay is a CLASS ACT! Not one profanity throughout the entire show. Very funny monologue, personal humorous stories, and jokes sprinkled throughout. Very much enjoyed the personal experiences he shared which created a true bond with the audience. A very entertaining and enjoyable evening! Thank you, Jay!

Jay kept us laughing the entire time. Nice that he started on time and ended the show after 1 hr 45 mins.

He talked non stop for about an hour and a half. Current events, personal and political. Outrageously funny. I loved the fact that he could entertain without having to use curse words. That is talent.

Jay was great! How anyone can come on to a stage and talk and entertain you for an hour and 20 minutes, nonstop, without any notes or script is beyond me. I laughed continually throughout the whole show. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance!

What a great way to celebrate our 32nd anniversary that we both forgot in August. The theater is very nice and I don't think there are any bad seats. Jay could have included a little more local humor but it was a wonderful treat to see him in person.

My husband and I attended Jay's 7pm show in Biloxi, MS on Nov. 21, 2009. He delivered a "side splitting" show for 1 1/2 hours. He's fairly clean and not offensive. We were truly impressed and loved every bit of the show. Very glad to have made the 2 1/2 hour drive to see him "live". A real funny man, is he!

One of the best shows I've seen in Biloxi. Just like a 90 min. monologue on his TV shows. No dirty jokes, nothing controversial about politics, just good funny stuff.

I could not believe I was watching Jay Leno. He was just the most amazing performer. His jokes were very funny and his speed of comic was just unbelievable. I wanted to watch him perform for a long time, so I was mess with tears of joy. I would love to go see him again and I highly recommend his show to everyone. His performance gave everyone unstoppable joy.

I've been a Jay Leno fan for quite sometime. Ever since my brother and I saw him in St. Louis at the Fox theater (when his hair was black); was really great to see him in person. Everything was great except for the fact that we could not hear in the balcony area. They need to provide better speakers up there. Overall, the show was great.

I guess in some ways, Jay Leno had an impossible task. I hadn't seen him since 1986 when he put on a legendary show at the Park West in Chicago. He prowled the stage with the energy of a man in his mid-30s who was fighting to be the best. His observations were hilarious and his delivery was perfect. I can still recall his opening joke dripping with sarcasm about Nancy Reagan winning the humanitarian of the year award. "I'm glad she beat out that conniving little bitch mother Theresa! It's nice to see the right people win for a change." No, the Jay Leno I took my wife to see last month was older and comfortable with his legacy. His goal was achieved--hosting the "Tonight Show" and becoming a household name. Sadly the performance showed that. He raced through the first few minutes and we could barely hear him with the poor sound system. Later, he slowed down but every joke was told in the same tone. There were some silly jokes on his alleged sexual prowess and of course many Joan Rivers-like barbs on celebrities. The old Jay made us feel he was one of us commenting on the things that drive us crazy. This Jay was looking down from above. The most upsetting part was that when the show was over he left. He did not come out and do some more encore material as he had done in Chicago on that cold day 23 years ago. Back then, he had something to prove. This time, he probably had a plane to catch.

Wow!! What a performance! His performance was way beyond my expectations! His wit, delivery and material were the best I have heard from an onstage comedian. I would highly recommend Leno to friends and family. If he has another "gig" in my area, I would defiintely try to attend. He was worth the price of admittance times ten.

No cursing, either! Jay is a gifted, natural comedian. Our audience was totally enrapt with stories from his childhood, his parents, searching for his wife's cat, who fled into the night, after Jay left the door open. I've seen many shows in my life, but this show was the best! We will be in the audience when he returns in a year.

Overall I would give Jay 5 stars and WinStar 3. Jay went an hour and 40 minutes of non stop comedy. Very professional, came out about 1-2 minutes after 8:00 when the show was supposed to start and then just kept going. As for WinStar, I found the event center hard to find (signs for everything else). Found out it was inside and basically behind the Rome themed casino and bar. It was busy trying to get in and a zoo leaving as you fought your way through the people who were there to gamble, drink, and smoke. Outside, parking was good and leaving the site was smooth. The seats were only marginal and rather tight together although there was plenty of leg room. Before we got there, we talked about going to see Rodney Carrington but the event center did not correspond to the ticket prices so we won't be back. I guess we got spoiled at the new Toyota Music Factory.

There's a reason you want to see Jay Leno....the guy you saw on the Tonight Show is the same guy you see in his standup routine. Jay came out in his normal suit/shirt/tie looking just like he did when he did the Tonight monologues and he started talking. The same kind of jokes, evenly hitting both sides of an issue, and as topical and timely as ever. Exactly why you want to go see Jay Leno.....to laugh at the idiocy of today's world. But instead of a 10 minute monologue, Jay goes on for 1 hour and 40 minutes!!! That's right....just Jay for 100 minutes and we laughed the whole time. It was a GREAT show and I highly recommend it.

I always enjoyed watching the Jay Leno Show and jumped at the opportunity to see him recently at Winstar! Jay walked onto stage while telling his first joke and he didn't stop until he left the stage at the end of the show. Talk about 1 hour and 37 minutes of live entertainment. Had a great time that had me and my husband laughing the entire time.

Jay Leno's performance was truly amazing. First of all, he started at exactly 8pm. When was the last time a performer started right on time. He then went on non-stop for an hour and 40 minutes of continual laughs. Some of his comments were ad libs and he was funny all the time. He went from current events to everyday life without skipping a beat. He had the audience in tears from laughing. He is a great performer.

Jay Leno was very funny. Loved him! I thought the hall where he performed was supposed to have something that removes the casino smoke. It certainly wasn't working that night. It was awful! It spoiled the event for us. My eyes stung and were beet red by the time we left. I will never go to something at WinStar, especially when it's a Saturday night. So disappointed. They bring in good names, but smoke makes it unenjoyable.

Wonderful show. Jay was on for an hour and 45 minutes. First hour or so was like an extended tonight show monologue. Rapid fire, current events, politics, wide variety of topics. 2nd half of show included more personal stories. Had a wonderful time. Classic Jay Leno. Genessee theater is a beautiful venue. Great staff. Any event will be better at the Genessee

Without a doubt, this was the best stand-up comedy I've ever seen. Jay was on fire non-stop. Why he still isn't the King of the Late Show is a crime. Only thing that was a negative was that he didn't really take much time to acknowledge the audience's show of appreciation at the close: he just walked off the stage. Great venue for those living in the area, but too much of a mark-up on the ticket price.

Not too much about politics, race or gays. But . . . not a G rated performance! Great jokes and stories. He nailed it when telling about the young people today not understanding our generation; the social security crowd.

The guy is just FUNNY period! We laughed till it hurt. I'd go again. Two of his jokes are already a permanent part of our vernacular. I thought it wouldn't be more than an hour at best, however, he went 90 minutes non-stop funny.

Jay Leno's show was unbelievably entertaining as he did his stand-up comedy routine for a solid 1 1/2 hours. I would easily pay any price to see him in person again. I rarely missed him when he did the Tonight Show so to see him perform "in person" was a really big treat for me. I laughed so hard; I cried. The thing about his humor is that he "addresses" the every day, average person. Everyone in that room could at one point or another relate to the joke and story he was telling. I'm a Catholic, and I think his three jokes about the Catholic Priest was the funniest part of all and even had my husband in stitches laughing. And in telling his jokes he's not really offending anyone, because of the simple fact that almost everything he says really is true. You find yourself laughing at life because that's how it is and Jay's just confirming all that with his artistic genius. I wish I had his email address so that I could tell him exactly what I just said in this critique. Thanks for the chance.

My Husband and I are in our early sixties. We loved watching Jay Leno on TV. However, his show at Talking Stick was very disappointing. Jay acted like he was just going through the jokes...there was no life to him. A lot of his jokes my husband and I already heard through his Mark Twain Award show earlier in the week. I wish he had put more into the audience interaction like he use to do or even add some audio visuals of his J-walking skits. It was just not what I expected from a Super Star like Jay! I came to see a great comedian and was disappointed. The opening act of a singer was boring and never heard of the guy. I suggest a comedian as an opening act in future.

My sister, two best friends, and I loved Jay Leno!!! He was Spot On! The jokes kept coming and we were laughing so hard we were crying!!! We especially enjoyed his comments about his pet cat and other owners of cats. We also thought that his political jokes were wonderfully humorous and not malicious. Jay has not lost his touch, and we would recommend his show, plus the group who opened for him, to everyone! Delightful and refreshing! We would see him again!

After seeing Jay several times in a studio setting, I wasn't sure how a live stand-up show would go. After a 10-minute delay, he zoomed into gear pretty quickly and and didn't hit the brakes for 90 minutes! From my angle, his hair looked a little longer, but otherwise hadn't changed since I saw him six months ago. There was fresh material as well as some old stuff that caused a chuckle. The only sacred thing I remember was Motel 6. He covered everything from Disneyland to Carnival Cruises in his repertoire! I enjoyed the performance immensely and would highly recommend seeing him Tonight if he comes to your hometown !

Jay was great. The only thing I was surprised at was he started off with the jokes almost immediately and got off stage fast at the end, although I am not complaining as to how long he was on stage. I am so surprised he could keep talking for an hour and a half without having to drink water! I loved how he interacted with the crowd asking those in the front row what type of work they did and had good "comebacks" about each person. I truly enjoyed the show. I think he should take over David Lettermen's spot when he retires. The band, Joyryde, was really great!

Jay is amazing. He seamlessly went from one humorous topic to another .... without stopping to vulgar language or topics.

The Vina Robles venue was great! Chilly at night, bring a jacket. Jay Leno was funny, disappointed he spent so much time on sex and masturbation jokes. The back half was really funny. The front half, not so good.

Leno did a credible job. His presentation was old-school; reminded me of Bob Hope. Jokes were about the differences between men and women, dogs vs. cats, married life, etc. Though jokes were funny, they were dated. He needs fresh material. The opening act was excellent.

This was our first concert at Vina Robles and Jay Leno was the reason. Following a short musical warm-up ensemble, he came out with little fanfare and had us in stitches from the first comments. He then delivered more than 90 minutes of non-stop "observations" about the current topics in the world and finished with some family material (his impression of his mother is memorable). Great evening in a relatively small, intimate setting.

This was the second time we have seen Leno at the Genesee. Just as great as the first time. This time we brought our adult son. Fabulous evening.

Jay goes non-stop for over 90 minutes. You get your moneys worth. The opening act was a singer who was good but I would like to see an up and coming comic opening for a comic.

Jay Leno was fantastic! He was on stage for over an hour and a half and entertained us the entire time. His opening act, Gregory Hyde, was excellent as well. His voice was terrific and he also added a little comedy to his performance.

What a great show he puts on. From the time he walked on the stage until he ended his show, it was non stop jokes and laughter. He is a true professional comedian. Would definetly see him again

great show. The opening act was very good. The show actually started on time (I hate sitting there for 20 minutes waiting for show to start). And Jay Leno was great. He did a VERY long show, I really felt like I got my money's worth. We were way up in the balcony and sometimes he didn't keep the mic close enough or something so it was a little hard to hear, but other than that I really enjoyed it. Well worth the money.

the show was spectacular, Jay Leno's material was fresh and current and off the charts, he interacted w the crowd, the audience was very engaged but very respectful of this comedian so that was very nice to see, The venue was a HUGE disappointment because they support a valet parking service that ran out over an hour before the show, i understand the concept of valet parking as does my spouse but in Jan we went to this venue and the parking was adequate, here people are paying almost a $100 a ticket and you run out of valet parking?? plus when the parking attendant told my spouse that the parking lot was full ( again this was only the 2nd time we have been to this venue) his arrogant response when my spouse asked him where alternate parking was you're on your own and turned his back on my spouse, my spouse then had to figure out where alternate parking was. There was a police officer directing traffic & he was nice enough to direct my spouse where there was additional parking. This company is a third party company that you use for valet parking and they are doing a terrible job of representing your venue !! and on a night when the weather was just awful that just made matters worse. There were at least a dozen people w their spouses filing complaints about this valet service and running out of parking accommodations and that sits very poorly with your venue when you cannot accomodate your patrons

The pre show had some local talent sing for half an hour which I thought was a little off. I would have some local talent do stand up instead. Jay was terrific but unfortunately since he was holding the mike instead of it being pinned to his shirt I couldn t hear some parts when he moved it around. That was a bummer for me. Mind you, I was seated in the orchestra area and not too far.

Great show, The opening act was a real surprise.Entertaining by itself. Jay was on stage for quite awhile. Don't know how he can remember all the lines.. Not political , not slated one way or the other. Seen him 2 years ago and this was all new material..Glad I attended.

Gregory Hyde was a GREAT opening act!! So good!! Jay came right out after Gregory and didn t let up for at least an hour. Great jokes - both topical and personal. It was a special night!! Thank you!

Jay did a great show for nearly 2 hours and it was amazing; my face hurt from laughing.
we really had a nice evening. The palace theater is kept clean and fairly well kept. Jay Leno did a nice show and wasn t too sure his leave act was very talented and nice to have good clean humor in music all night long. In the audience was respectful And it was nice to have wine
Jay Leno was just what I expected (IE: funny, topical, relatively "clean,") It was a very comfortable evening, like being with an old friend. His repartee with the audience was inspired! But, it was the opening act, David Luning (with Ben Dubin) that surprised me. I thought it would be a boring time until the REAL star came on. Wrong! The duo was fab! Dueling harmonicas - NOT TO BE MISSED! All in all a very pleasant evening at the beautiful (although showing her age a bit) Palace Theatre. (BTW: why bother with that "no camera" sign as one enters the lobby when there were cell phone cameras going off all the time? (And I'm pretty sure I saw someone using a "REAL" camera, too.)
So excited we got to see Jay Leno in person. Great evening of entertainment. Lots of good clean family oriented humor. Everyone in audience laughing and having a good time. So refreshing for an entertainer to reference he is in a committed relationship with his wife of 30+years. All around good show and great night out. Palace Theatre great venue-not a bad seat in the house. Added bonus-we got our picture taken with Jay after the show at the backstage door.
Jay Leno was wonderful - about 90 minutes of monologue. He moved from topic to topic, weaving jokes, stories, and funny research together. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the Leno years on the Tonight Show. The parking was bad at the Palace Theater though. Instead of paying when you came in, as most events have you do, you had to pay after which created huge lines for the pay machine and the exits. Took much longer than large events typically do to for less cars to exit a garage.
