“Outside the Villages” is where the overly-hyped ( their PR people are masters at PR)Mr Swindles Peculiarium will run for 10 days under a big top in a Wildwood field.
While we are sadly 900 miles away now, we will miss it.
I’ll be tuning in here for reviews but have heard enough from past shows that we won’t ’miss it’
Your mileage may vary but reading the one- and two-stars ( which you know aren’t shills) indicates sad carnival food and $5 for a cup of coke.
Show runs 90 minutes minus intermission ( likely to get you to buy more concessions.)
For those that attend, I hope I’m wrong and that you enjoy.

That also turns me off. Technically true; the seats in the last 2 rows all the way in the back or similar are the lowest price, but no one actually wants to sit there. Any decent seats are double or more. My guess is that's an intentional marketing gimmick, because if they advertised the tix at $100+, no one would even go to the sales page.

They will eventually lower prices when the shows are half empty, or they won't lower prices if people continue to pay the overpriced fees. Time will tell.

The pricing for The Tracy is basically the same as it is for The Sharon.

I find it really annoying that the pricing at the Tracy has a varying fee added to the ticket cost. The fee apparently depends on the cost of the ticket; the higher the ticket, the higher the fee. Not a good business practice IMO.

The Sharon is "tiered" like all good theaters. The Tracy is a high school auditorium.

I didn’t know JL did stand-up. Whenever I’ve seen him interviewed and he is asked why he doesn’t do stand-up, he would say it’s because stand-ups say funny things and he says things funny. I would agree with that, but I still wish I had been in town to see the show.

I think that is a very astute self-observation on the part of JL. All of his bits on SNL tended to be repeat versions of characters like "Master Thespian" and "The Liar". No surprises, yet still mildly amusing, at least to me.
