AUTHENTIC, BITING, WITTY AND FUNNY

One of the greatest political commentators of all time. Really calls it straight. I love how he gives you a real thought experiment and then drives it deep with a great crack at the end. Perfect timing!! Brilliant observations and gives not one inch to either extreme. LOVED IT!!!!

GOOD BUT...

Always wanted to see Bill Maher in person. It was a good show and vintage Maher but I was surprised that he referred to notes on a lectern so much and it was so obvious. Most comedians just talk talk talk by heart. You would think he would do the show enough that he could just do the 90 minutes without notes. I would say his TV show is a cut above his in person performance. I wonder if his show changes much from city to city and when he revises all the material. I was also surprised to seeing only a handful of people wearing, which I was. I guess Covid and it's more transmissible variants have been eradicated from Buffalo.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

An audience member, sitting near front, decided to opine on Bill's commentary- she stood up and talked. RUDE RUDE RUDE. we didnt come to see her. i thought bill was shocked. Show was great but i think he closed pretty quickly after the excitement of another member of the audience getting up to yell at her.

EVEN BETTER IN PERSON

I’ve watched Real Time with Bill Maher since I was a teenager and I love the show. Seeing him live was even better. He delivered blunt commentary with humor and wit. The laughs kept coming and he really connected with the audience. I would totally see him again. Thanks for over 20 years of brilliant honest sarcasm.

TIRED MAN AND MATERIAL

I’m a Bill Maher fan and feel he serves an important role in political commentary due to his independent views. This why it was disappointing to see him live 4/22/23 as he was tired and his material was just a rehash of his show. HBO should send a crew with him to write, do makeup, wardrobe and lighting. Bill uses the Real Time music at the end and beginning of the show which reflects poorly on HBO. The only part of the show that had any energy was when he was imitating Trump. Sad!

A BIT DISAPPOINTING

80% of the material you would have already heard on his late night show. Love the guy, but should have been some new material…especially with the writers strike there should have been plenty to talk about.

OVENS THEATRE 8/19/23

We are Bill Maher fans. We saw him before and loved his show. Last night was nothing we haven't heard him say on his show, which we always watch, so we were disappointed.
