I was just writing up a similar critique, but you said it better than I could have. I didn't really "learn" anything from this one. The others that I've seen are generally educating myself and others about something we may know little to nothing about. He might as well have had a program titled, "Smoking is bad."

I have tickets to see him in December. I'm looking forward to it

    I have tickets to see him in December.

I have never even considered the idea of buying tickets to be a studio audience. Is this a fun thing to do? I feel like it's a super fun thing to do. Why haven't I thought of doing this???

It's his standup, it's not a studio audience taping. Truth is, I had too much to drink and saw the ad on a website somewhere and it worked. I bought the tickets. I am not sure I even want to go. But.. yeah.
