In Philly last night, I was snorting. At times, I could hardly catch my breath. You all are wonderfully funny and frighteningly sane.
I don't remember how long it has been since I have laughed so hard as I did at the Sexy Liberal Tour 2024. Stephanie and her crew are hilarious and also educational about the dire state of our nations politics.
As usual, the Sexy Liberal show delivered. Great comedians, fantastic routines, laughs all around.
Streamed their show October 2023, so great to see them live and updated. Really wonderful!
They really did a nice job- it was great to hear John Fugelsang, Hal Sparks, Frangela as well as Stephanie and Cliff S. They are all excellent in their own way- and we had a very good time!
This was top notch comedy talent! Not only funny, but incredibly brainy. Couldn't have asked for a more informed and hilarious crew. Thank you!!!!
Enjoyed every minute! Stephanie, John, Hal and Frangela were all on top of their game. Cliff Schecter was brilliant. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
I should start by saying that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Stephanie Miller and the gang on the radio and FSTV. I try to watch or listen every day, and consider myself a major fan. Maybe I had built it up too much in my head, and my expectations were over the top. Perhaps the fact that I read only RAVE REVIEWS online made me think it was going to be better than it was. Maybe it was simply a bad show (we've all had them), or I just didn't know what to expect. The format was fun--Stephanie did some "stand-up," then John Fugelsang, and finally Frangela. Basically, it was not interactive, rather three different "sets," if you will. The show was long enough, but that was basically it, aside from the reappearance of Stephanie at some point, and a little (very little) Q & A at the end. In any event, here's what it was like. Not unexpectedly, the whole show had the same silly right-wing-bashing flavor as the radio show, but without the interaction between the on-air personalities and the callers (which I think is a big part of the fun of the show). Most of the audience absolutely loved it, hooting and squawking at all the right moments. But Stephanie seemed uncomfortable on stage. Her schtick didn't quite work and she seemed unrehearsed, chuckling nervously after every punchline while she turned the page and glanced over at the stand holding her notes. It wasn't typical stand-up material--it was more of a cross between slapstick site-gags and silly impressions, all of it very "blue" (gratuitous? perhaps). But I guess maybe Stephanie isn't really known for her standup, and maybe she simply wasn't "on." I'm sure carrying a morning show on the radio makes it all but impossible to also do nighttime shows scattered throughout the year. This is really an undertaking, and I imagine it has a lot to do with why Stephanie doesn't do more of these. Maybe it had been a while, and she was rusty? I don't know--I'm just guessing, but I want to think it's usually much more polished. John Fugelsang, as always, was smart and funny, and he's clearly comfortable doing stand-up. If you've listened to him as much as I have, you won't hear a lot of new material, but he's so smart and interesting (not to mention cute) that it doesn't matter. Frangela (Francis and Angela, best friends) were quite hilarious. I always like listening to them on the show, and I found them to be the most engaging, at least in this venue. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that they have each other on stage--their repartee was truly original and gut-wrenchingly funny. They are classic stand-up comics.
If you want to hear an hour of tired Donald Trump jokes, followed by Stephanie rubbing herself on audience members (once? Okay. Three times? Stupid!) this is the show for you. All of her "jokes" have been said by countless others ad nauseum. There was nothing fresh or innovative about her schtick. Fugelsang was okay; certainly better than Stephanie. Why he chose to let her fiddle with his package (twice, no less!) is beyond me. It wasn't funny; it was pathetic and contrived. The saving grace to the show was the fabulous duo of Frangela. They were fantastic! They should be the headliners and have their own show. They were on point, interesting and hilarious. Loved them! Ditch Stephanie Miller and her weird body rubbing, flinging herself on the stage, and old, tired, used "jokes."
We laughed for over two hours. This show was so much fun! Witty smart soothing balm for liberals!
