Portlandia The Tour

Great show, we love Fred and Carrie. Hope they come back in 2013

A sloppy and meandering promo concert? clip show? lame time. Most annoying perhaps was the way they spent most of the show relying on the audience to provide material while refusing to give straight answers to questions they themselves had just asked (such as what's the best local bar? where do you get the best coffee? etc).

Love the TV show, the tour was - eh. Music was good but the actual show was only just entertaining - nothing special.

Hm. What can I say. General Admission. Show started 15 minutes late. Mostly college age people. Parking : $15 but convenient. People in attendance were all very nice. Folding chairs were ok. We were comfortable but I wasn't thrilled with the location, and the show was just ok (my opinion, my husband liked it more than I did.)I'm still trying to figure out the Canoe routine.

Not worth it. Thought it was going to be skits but it was more like promo for the show.

FANTASTIC. Included appearances from Jack McBrayer and Margaret Cho. If they come to your town, you must go!

Great music. Special guests. Slide show of personal photos. Questions from the audience. Overall a really fantastic experience.

I was incredibly disappointed with the "show". I agree with one review which characterized the show as "cute". It was like an expensive, not so fun hangout session with Fred and Carrie. The show clips and photo show and tell was an immense cop out. The Q&A was also really weak. Yes people, there are dumb questions; if you don't believe that, then the only other option is the dumb people who ask non-dumb questions. The only redeeming factor of the show was when Fred and Carrie actually played music; I don't doubt they have talent. But playing random songs wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I expected a couple hours of comedy, mostly live action and instead I got to watch clips of their show which I could watch on my TV and got to see them make really stupid jokes about their personal photos. This should have been free and I just feel stupid for having paid money for this.

Show seemed to be just thrown together at the last minute. I could watch video clips at home...the audience Q&A? just stupid...

Have you ever wanted to hang out with Fred and Carrie for a night? Well that's what the show feels like. Oh yeah and expect a special guest or two.

Fred and Carrie put on a great show! It is so amazing that they came all the way from Portland to ATL to connect with the fans. The crowd was really hyped and into the show. It was a great mix of music, video clips, Q and A and guest appearances from Jack McBrayer and Margret Cho. The only bummer were the inconsiderate people that were standing. You know who you are and you should be ashamed of yourselves!! SIT DOWN! Fred and Carrie ROCK!

25% of the show was clips we'll eventually see on the internet. 25% of the show was music that wasn't very good. 25% of the show was audience participation driven, unplanned and uninteresting. The leftovers were okay, but pretty lackluster. No skits. Just improv dialogue (not really full on comedy).

Clips from the show and improv on stage was very amusing and fun-local singer at the end could have definitely been left out as it didn't make any sense as to why she was on stage with them. If you are a fan of the show, definitely check it out!

The bottom line is that this wasn't a well-produced show. They charged a lot of money for what basically amounted to them showing up in my town. Awesome. There was very little prepared material, and far too much audience participation. I'm sorry, I didn't pay that much to hear my weird neighbors ask Carrie about her dog's participation in the show. Nor did I enjoy Fred and Carrie wasting 15 minutes by asking us to shout out our favorite coffee shop. Also, your funny songs aren't as funny without the visuals from the show. Also, don't show me clips from your show that I can see on TV.

Short and sweet ... I went to this show with my wife because we love the TV show. The funniest parts of "the tour" were the clips, which I could have saved $36 a pop and just watched from home. The opening, the "slideshow," the Q&A from the audience ... it was all a little too relaxed, almost sloppy. I'm a fan of Fred Armisen, but he was too reserved. Carrie was awkward, and the final montage of songs with Eleanor were OK, but out of place and unsatisfying. The best part was for me and my wife was making fun of the hipsters in the audience, many of whom don't get that the show is roasting them. I'd never seen so many camping vests on an unseasonably warm night.

For diehard fans. The show was a little uneven, and I'm not convinced that Carrie and Fred were into it.
