I never stopped laughing. Jackie's take on the political scene was hilarious. His improvisational skills using the first row was top notch as well. My cheeks are still recovering 24 hours later.
He still has what it takes. May he live long and put on more shows!

I was very disappointed by the event. During the first half of the show I was not able to understand more than 1/4 of what Jackie Mason said because the sound reinforcement was way off and the sound was distorted. Of what I did understand Jackie proved that he is an old man with likes and dislikes that were en vogue 30 years ago. He has completely lost the touch of what amuses today. Case in point: He ridicules Starbuck's with the seats along the store window allowing to see passers by. He ignores the street cafes in many parts of NYC and across Europe where people watching is so popular. Too bad Jackie is stuck in the old rut. Besides, his off-color remarks about Obama were disturbing.

He may be the foremost standup comic of our time and this show is the last chance to see him in person. I recommend seeing the show.

He really is such an icon of comedy. I felt like I was sitting in his living room and he was just going on about life. At the end the stage manager called out that he had 10 more minutes - - so he took a moment and then started a whole new set of jokes, just for us, to fill the time. If that's always the case, then every show must be a little bit different and unique. Too bad he's saying farewell. (PS: LOVE New world stages......!!!!!!)

This is the funniest show I've ever seen. I didn't stop laughing, and practically had a sore throat the next morning. The audience cheered him royally. He is totally politically incorrect, so if this would offend you, skip him. Whether you're Jewish or gentile, the show's a hoot. If you'd like to see one of the few public persons with guts, get in your chariot and go!

It's Jackie Mason' own choice but I "hope" he can be persuaded to make at least one more return engagement to New York City next year.

Jackie Mason is a master of 'attitude' who delivers his insights with hilarious speech and body language. Everyone is an equal opportunity target of his humor, although he saves his funniest bits for riffs on the differences between Gentiles and Jews. Sure, there's some outdated stuff, but it gives you a chance to catch your breath. He makes me laugh harder than anybody. If you're watching your cholesterol you've got to go see him.

He is brilliant, the last virtuoso comedian of his kind. I took 2 friends, and all of us waited after the show for Mason to walk out and autograph some old books and CDs of his we had.
He was just great, a national treasure. Not so good for you guys, the hall was little more than 1/2 full...but thanks for the discount, we had great (9th row) seats....

More Details
There are very few true legends of comedy who have the ability and insight to take the headlines and topics of the day and shape them into hilarious and original comedy. As one of the last comedy road warriors, Jackie Mason still has the power to take an audience on a journey that is fresh and leave them laughing until they cry show after show. This is a rare and final opportunity to experience the extraordinary, brilliant and definitive stand-up comedy of an icon.
