Waste of Money

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 the harmon theatre, but it's two shows that run at the same time and then it becomes the club Krave. The lines leading to both shows were confusing and the club employees were extremely rude and incompetent about it. The seating is absolutely horrible. I had to sit on a metal chair that would find in say an elementary school cafeteria.

I can not believe I paid $150 for me and the girlfriend to see this. I saw several other shows in Vegas that were much better than this for less.

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 ripped off.
DO NOT GO SEE THIS SHOW.....
Approx. 20 people just up and left....
A big disappointment for Vegas!!!!!

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 his ditzy blonde sidekick Psychic Tanya go through the motions of a stale act that was MAYBE funny 15 years ago?
The only reason why we sat through this show was believing that this show HAS to get better, it cannot be THIS unfunny, and that there was going to be something cool that happens at the end. We were wrong. He does his last bit, then the lights are turned on and a soundtrack of wild applause is played over the speakers ; no one near us was clapping or cheering, and, in fact, the person directly behind us fell asleep during the show!
To make matters worse, it's tough to get a cab at the Sahara after the show. After waiting about 5 minutes, we decided to get on the Monorail and head back to the better part of the Strip.
Your BEST bet in Vegas is to avoid this crummy show!!!

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 lameness of it.

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 the hanky and he's flipping the bird. WOAH......that is hilarious!
Or he pulls some obvious plant on stage......tells him he has a stain on his shirt.....the guys looks down to where he's pointing and he pokes him in the nose (like you might do with your 4 yr old nephew). That's what you're paying to see.
I'd bet there were 50 people on a Friday night here....and a third walked out on the show.
What a joke.
I'm calling to see about getting a refund of the $75 tickets.
