What a waste of money. If you have seen the comedy central special, you have already seen this show. He even comes out right at the beginning and says it bluntly. I mistakenly thought that was a joke. I was so wrong. There is maybe 5 minutes of new material at the end and it's pretty lame. They call it... more

I've seen alot of shows in Vegas ... We had comp. passes .. good thing I would be asking for my money back if I had to pay. I can't believe the Harmon Theatre has signed this bozo for another year... good thing its people passing threw Vegas.... I am a local and I feel bad that visitors are being... more

We fell for the hype that this guy has (he's been on Letterman, had a special on Comedy Central, tour book said he was pretty good), and man, do we wish we had that time (and money) back! EVERY single joke was completely predictable and PAINFULLY unfunny. Yeah, there is no "magic" - we got that, too. Instead, Johnathan and... more

We spent almost $200 for these tickets and it was the worst show we had ever gone to see in our lives. What a rip off! Don't go. Your five year old could put together a more entertaining show. It is sad to see an entertainer resting on laurels they never had. We love comedy and were shocked at the... more

Unfortunately saw this on 4/18/08. I can't conceive of any show worse than this. Do not Do not Do not waste your time or money. This is the most moronic show you could imagine. No humor, no magic; just simpleton sight gags. Want an example of his 'humor'? He says he's going to hide a bird under a hanky....he lifts... more

Let me just start off by saying that this show isn't for everyone. If you can't find humor in American Pie or that kind of humor, then go see a different show. However if you love a lot of humor mixed in with a litle magic, then this show is for you. I purchased the VIP tickets online and when... more

We saw Amazing Jonathan for our 30th Anniversary. I have seen many shows in Las Vegas as well as other places. This has to have been the worst show that I have ever seen. It was a total waste of money. There was no magic, the jokes were stupid and the crude language was unnecessary. He asked for one participant... more

First & foremost the Amazing Jonathan isn't a magic show, he does maybe 2 tricks throughout the show, mainly it's a lot of talking & cracking jokes. 2 things to warn everyone about... first, if you sit in the front row (near the stairs) you are in danger of being picked to go on stage. Second, no matter where you... more

I was really hyped up to see this show - even went as far as spending the extra money for the VIP seats that are just more uncomfortable and cramped (FYI- don't spend the extra money – even better-don't spend any on this show!) The best part of the whole show is his dizzy assistance and you can watch the... more

The opening of the show explains his type of humor. If you didn't think the movie "Something About Mary" was funny, don't go see this show. If you don't enjoy plays on words, don't go see this show. If you don't enjoy quick-witted humor with bizarre twists, don't go see this show. Don't go see this show unless you want... more
