I was extremely offended by Kate Barron claiming that the attempted Presidential assassination at Butler, Pennsylvania at which firefighter Corey Comperatore had been staged. She mocked all the prior acts (who didn't get to mock her terrible act as she got to appear last), and then she did so much crowd work for so long that I thought that was her entire act, and when she did do eventually do jokes I was aghast that she spread such dangerous lies. I very nearly walked out of the gig, and I won't be going to another event like this. It has left me emotionally disturbed for several days. I don't like living in a world with such hateful people.

The female act only had one theme - sex. It was vulgar, demeaning to women, lacked any humour and unfunny. Otherwise the evening was great - very entertaining and some of the acts were very funny. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!!

Venue was quite cold . Some people that were standing behind the seats were constantly talking when the acts were on . The host Greg Edwards was great. All in all a good night.
