We had no clue how popular this was going to be and since it was such a tiny venue we were worried it was going to sell out quickly. So we got there an hour and a half before the scheduled time, when it turned out we could've showed up an hour after the start time and not missed a thing. It worked out fine in the end, since we had more time to get likkered up. Anyway, Neil was great as usual -- practically all of his material was new to me, although he occasionally broke out the old favorites. He was quite professional dealing with the hecklers for the most part, cleverly drowning out their attempts to preempt his punchlines with strategic coughs. Every now and then, though, he'd hit back, with hilarious results! Neil was kind enough to sign not one but two posters for my friend; he gave me one and I now have it hanging proudly on my bathroom wall pending the availability of a more prominent position in the living room. The opening acts were great too, especially Pleaseeasaur who took me completely by surprise.

Welcome to the Board also it has all way been my dream to see the St Louis "arch".

Neil was AMAZING!! This is my 2nd time seeing him and it was even more hilarious! Actually one of my favorite parts of the show was the hecklers. Hearing Neil reply with, "Why don't you guys go back to the bathroom and suck each other off!" I showed my friend the dog track dvd the night before the show and he lost it. He said he had to see him. So when Neil did the "KFC in a bucket" joke my friend saw his opportunity to be coughed out by Neil. He yelled out the answer one word at a time and Neil responded with a cough to each one. "So-.." COUGH "They-..." COUGH "Can-puke..." COUGH! hilarious

Neil is a pro fessional so it stand to reason that he could deal with the Hecklers that tried to do their own thing. (Which isn't their own thing any way, if all it is is copying Neil and his $1,000,000 punch lines!!!)
But it's too bad that Neil has not been given any money lately.
