A Comedy Show at the End of the World

This show was engaging and entertaining for the length of time it occupied the stage. The premise was that a professional comedian (played by Jon Blair) was trying to prove his worth in a post-apocalyptic world. The props and scenery helped with immersing the audience into the setting. For me, there was never a dull moment. Definitely a show worth seeing!

My husband and I were laughing pretty much the entire time. It was whimsical, clever, and his energy was contagious. We had so much fun. Thank you for the great show!

Just got out of A Comedy Show at the End of the World, and I have to say... I had a good time surviving the apocalypse.

It's not a perfect show. There are a couple of moments where the momentum slows down, but when it's firing on all cylinders, it's genuinely funny and wonderfully unhinged.

Was it exactly my cup of tea? Not really.

Was it worth the price of admission? Absolutely.

The easiest way I can describe it is Fallout meets Mad Max meets your local Thursday night open mic. It's chaotic, a little scrappy, occasionally feels like it's one bad decision away from completely falling apart... and somehow that's part of its charm.

The one man cast (Doll doesn't count) commits wholeheartedly to the madness, which keeps the energy high even when the show wanders a bit. You never quite know what's coming next, and that's half the fun.

Would I rush back to see it again? Probably not. But am I glad I saw it once? Definitely. Sometimes you don't need a life-changing theatre experience, you just need 60 minutes of post-apocalyptic nonsense, a few solid laughs, and the satisfaction of thinking, "Well... that certainly happened."

I'd call that a successful end of the world.

A surprisingly poignant solo extravaganza by veteran sketch writer-performer Jon Blair (YouTube's NOW MORE THEN EVER, & much more). Former tv comic "Johnny" is now a wasteland bard, "chasing the dragon" of a cataclysm comeback. Exceedingly silly, & actually cathartic!

Engaging from the first minute, this show was a standout. It’s giving Fallout meets SNL. I’ll be singing Everyone in Town is Mad at Me for the foreseeable future.

Jon Blair is a master, and we’re lucky to have him. This goes far beyond a typical comedy show – smart, charming, and a brilliant showcase of his myriad skills as a performer.
