Jake caught me totally off guard. I saw a few YouTube clips and thought he was ok. Friends still pushed to go and I am so glad they did. This guy is so much better than what you might find on the Internet. He's clever and entertaining and I would highly recommend catching his next show.

One word, hilarious. All 3 comedians were good, but Jake rocked it. We laughed constantly.

Very enjoyable evening, Jake Johannsen is so very funny. Laughed so hard brought tears to my eyes. Needed more than one tissue. Punchline is a great club, friendly staff, comfortable seating.

The live show was even better than we'd hoped, and we've been fans for 20 years! Great life stories and observational humor without that ham-handed "so what's the deal with/how about that/you ever see those" intros. An outstanding, fun night that was well worth the wait. If he's ever back in the area, we're going again!

This was the first time that I been to the Carolina Theater. It was a very intimate venue. The show was excellent.

Overall, I laughed very hard and I'm glad I came out to see him. I give him a 4 because there were a few jokes I had heard on his HBO special a number of years ago.

Jake is a veteran standup comedian who relates the foibles of human behavior,including hamster-owning, child-rearing, social media dependency, amongst other everyday events, in a highly comical fashion. Having followed Jake since his early career, I must say he still has the same insight and cerebral acumen.

Jake was great. Just as funny as his online material led me to believe. Also his act was all new to me - he didn't repeat anything from the web.

We had so much fun at this show...not just Jake but the act before him also...sorry can't remember the name...but he looked like George Cluney. Jake had us laughing from the start...I couldn't breath at some points. I like that he is not a foul-mouthed comedian also. He doesn't need that, he's clever and knows how to use his words and expressions instead of relying on cussing. Great show!

Again, everything was GREAT...from the location, to the efficient staff and even the nachos. To all your comedy performers. GREAT night out!

Both Chris Voth and Jake Johannsen were hysterical. I haven't laughed so much out loud in a very long time. We saw Jake Johanssen many years ago as well and he is just as funny as we remembered!

I wish Jake had the entire night. He was hilarious (as usual). He had plenty of twists on material I had heard before to keep it fresh and the new material kept me laughing through his entire all-too-short set. As for Mr. Slayton, if you don't have anything nice to say...

I am saying I would recommend because of Jake. He was great ... Bobby was not funny. I kind of felt bad for the kid that opened ... no one responded to him, but I think it was just that he looked so young - we weren't expecting him! Tell him to keep trying!!!

Such a great show, even got to meet Jake after the show! My only disappointment is that he doesn't tour nearly as often as he should!

Combines excellent story-telling with facial expressions and change of pace and voice that ties it all together.

Jake Johannsen and Bobby Slayton were a great pairing for a comedy show. Both were extremely nimble on their toes, and had the audience in stitches. The only complaint I have is that there wasn't a break between the two, so you had to have "emptied your tank" before the show started. I would see either or both comedians again.

disappointed. I bought my tickets early to get front row balcony. since it was not a sell out they closed the balcony, and moved us to 2d row mezzanine. That's not right. both comedians shortchanged the show. johannsen was on for 40 minutes, and slayton did 45 minutes. johannsen was funny, creative and has amazing stamina. he is non stop. slayton was good, but leave your political correctness at the door. They should have performed longer.

We went only to see Jake and he did not disappoint. I've seen him plenty at Cobb's in SF years ago, and he is even funnier now. Bobby Slayton, for me, is rarely entertaining. His insult comedy isn't my brand, so we suffered through him. More Jake, less Bobby!

Jake Johannsen was great! I'm not sure it was the best idea for these two to be on the same bill. Jake's very smart, funny and endearing. Bobby is a mean old insult comic. Not exactly two great tastes that go great together. I had fun anyway, love seeing events and the Wilbur, and would see Jake again, not so sure about Bobby.

If you missed Jake Johannsen on his stand up special on TV, you really missed out. He is truly funny, clean with a great routine. I am looking forward to seeing him live one day. He delivers with facial expressions that add to his hilarious story's. See him, you will have a fun evening.
