Written on Jun 12 2012The local chicago stand up comedians were great! Rob Riggle however my group and I found to be not very original and not overly funny.

Written on Jun 12 2012The venue was very nice; food and drinks served at tableside during the show. Riggle resorted to lots of scatalogical humor-too much, imo. This might have been funny if I was an adolescent male.
His story about himself as an adolescent with a crush on his next-door-neighbor was funny.

Written on Jun 11 2012For much of the set, I thought Riggle lost the balance between humor and raunchy---totally tasteless.
