Sinbad was hilarious. He was personable and friendly. He involved the audience. His show went much longer than I anticipated which was great! He preformed for 2 hours straight. The venue of fountain street church was beautiful as well.

This is not the first time I have seen River City Improv and I'm sure it won't be the last. This group always puts on a good show full of laughs for everyone.

It is so refreshing to enjoy "real" comedy and Laughter without vulgarity! Kudos to SINBAD. Great SHOW!!! This is our second time to see SINBAD at Laugh Fest. It would be nice if he would come out and meet the crowd after the show and take pictures!

This is my fourth time attending a Sinbad event, second at the Fountain Street Church during Laughfest. I spent nearly the whole show laughing to the point I had tears running out my eyes and my rib cage hurt.

Very good performance. I had never watched live improv and was honestly not expecting it to be that great. So glad I was wrong. They did an amazing job from start to finish, My husband, my 19 and 21 year old sons and I laughed through it all.

A group of us went to see Keith Alberstadt at the Grand Volute in Lowell. He was very funny and it was refreshing to be at a "clean" (no swearing) show. He interacted with the audience and you could tell he really does enjoy making people laugh. Wish he had more than one show! We would see him again. And the location was great and parking was free!!! A big plus!!

I can't believe Tiffany Haddish came to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thank you so much! She was amazing. I even paid for the Meet and Greet upgrade. If you have the opportunity to meet Tiffany on tour - pay the extra cash it is worth it. She was just as happy to meet all of us fans as we were to meet her. Also, if you have not read or listened to her book, The Last Black Unicorn drop whatever you are doing and go get it.

All of the comedians did a really good job. I would go to see any of them again. The service at the BOB was very good. I only wish they would have kept the 2 show format instead of one and gave the comedians another 10 - 15 minutes each. This is my 5 th year and will be back again next year!

Very disappointed. This was not stand up and she was not funny. She is only funny in the movies, and her stand up leaves nothing to be desired. She acted as if she didn't have to try very hard or take this show seriously because she's already famous. Do not waste your money.

Not half as good as last year. I left 30 mins in. Her delays between punchlines , waiting for laughs were too long. Content not relevant. She spent most of the time strutting the stage to show off her body than making people laugh.

The first (2) comedian's were OK and getting the crowd going. Then we had our first female and her set was not appealing to the crowd. Instead of changing her topics and jokes she double downed and said I don't care if you like it or not and seemed to take pride in the fact that nobody liked her program. After that the rest of the comedian's tried their best but there was just no returning from that disaster. Overall I guess I just expected a higher level of professionalism and quality of talent than I received for the ticket price. I realize it was a charity event... I wouldn't want to be represented like that.... This was the 9:30 Show BOB 3rd Floor

I m a HUGE Maria Bamford fan, but this was not her best performance. Her voices are amazing, but it just seemed as though she didn t know her own material that well as she kept pausing, trying to remember what she was talking about. I m hoping this was just an off performance for her and that she does better at the rest of her shows!!

She had me at the first time I heard her perform a few years ago. Maria is one of a kind funny, authentic, weird, and captivating. I would have given 10 stars if I'd been able to hear/decipher what she was saying toward the end of her show. That might be on me and my aging ears.

Both men are hilarious together but I didnt realize they were funny apart as well. Both men started the set together and then both got the stage alone to do their own bit. Everyone was laughing the whole show. They throw in alot about their private lives and instances that happen while filming.

For years we have gone to the stand up "competition" and this year decided to go to the national standup showcase. I don't know if it's because these comedians have "already made it", but they didn't seem to work very. My husband and I both felt every other year was better than this year!

It was our first time at Pyramid Scheme and we liked the venue. It's intimate and the sound quality was good. We'll definitely go back. As for the show, we thought it was good, but not great. I've heard from others that Rory Scovel was 'awesome' and 'excellent.' Maybe my expectations were too high, but I left thinking he was just good. We had fun and he is definitely talented.

The best part is that it's for a good cause!

I had never seen any of her Netflix material prior but my boyfriend had and this was a Christmas gift to him. We really enjoyed the show and she was very funny. She had an opener who we missed the name of but he was great as well. She talked for a very long time (around an hour and a half) and we were never bored. It was very relaxed but was great for the setting.

One of the best standups I have ever seen. She was even better than Amy Schumer's in Kalamazoo last fall. And the venue in a church was a little sacrilegious, but it was a beautiful space, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

We loved the personality and sense of humor that Sinbad has always shown. I grew up in his home town, watched him play basketball and graduated with his sister and have always followed his career. It was great to finally see him in person again.

Clearly the comedian does his research of the area. he was clever and funny. We are big Community fans and we were not disappointed! My niece who was unfamiliar with that show thought him equally hilarious. This is my second time and he was just as entertaining and enjoyable. I HIGHLY recommend his shows!

This was the third time I've seen Sinbad, and his shows have all been different in content due to his talking about life as he has experienced it, but he has brought tears to my eyes from laughing so hard each time. It's clean humor & his funny interactions with audience members are spontaneously funny. I look forward to seeing him again.

Saw the show Sat nite with my son-in-law. Two generations. Possibility that, at least one of us was not going to like the show. Instead, we agreed that both comics were great. JW struggled, just a bit, to find his groove. NYC comic with a GR audience. But he succeeded, eventually, and shared some pretty hilarious bits. Joel McHale was outstanding; his I'm a d*** routine gave the audience belly laughs, without resorting to going completely blue. Highly recommended!

It was billed as including teenagers but there was nothing to support that. No teenager activity available. Because teenagers were present they inadvertently kept the younger kids from enjoying themselves as the older kids out maneuvered them. Otherwise it was great for grade school kids and younger. The magic show was a special touch.
