We lucked into seeing the Patton Oswalt show tonight. Not hugely promoted. We had very close seats. We were able to see his expressions and emotions so amazingly close up. He did not disappoint. It was, as usual, thought provoking and hysterical. But seriously. The guys just gets into certain aspects of culture and wrings them out in a way that is more than funny. I laugh during the show but it’s different. I would say 80% of the performance was rock solid. Gold. Killed it. 20% could be skimmed. Exactly. He was working on his material. We were so lucky to see it. Thanks Patton. Damn you are a master. And still human. We love you.

There is such a stark contrast between very good and great stand-up comedians. Patton Oswalt has been and continues to be in that top 1%. His smart, sharp, and witty material and unique observations are met with perfect pace, timing, and delivery. He can turn a trip to Denny's with his daughter into about 10-15 minutes of non-stop comedy gold. The theater is just beautiful. Great location. Easy parking, in and out, as the garage is right across and under the street.
