Howie Mandel on Tour
One of the most recognizable and reliably hilarious talents in show business for four decades, Howie Mandel is a comedy icon. His love of performing shines through whether he's delighting millions of TV viewers or sharing stories with the audience members who flock to the stand-up shows he performs every year in venues all over the world.
However busy Mandel may be thanks to his duties as a judge on America's Got Talent and as the host of Deal or No Deal, performing live has been the Canadian comic's greatest love since he began building buzz in the comedy scenes of his native Toronto and adopted home of Los Angeles in the late 1970s.
Each of his live shows highlights Mandel's incomparable skills as both storyteller and improviser, expertly mixing self-deprecating jokes about his life as a celebrity, husband and dad with ever-unpredictable interactions with audience members.
Howie Mandel Background
Thanks to his self-deprecating wit and irrepressible energy, Howie Mandel continues to delight audiences and win new fans four decades into his career as a comedian, actor, writer and producer.
While comedy fans have been loyal to Mandel ever since the Canadian comic first broke out of L.A.'s comedy scene in the late ‘70s, millions of viewers know him best as a key part of two of TV's most phenomenally successful shows. Between 2005 and 2008, he was the host of the NBC game-show sensation Deal or No Deal, returning in 2018 as host and executive producer for a new edition on CNBC. In 2010, he also became one of the celebrity judges on America's Got Talent and has since become the NBC talent competition's longest-serving panelist.
Mandel's other forays into television include his six-year run on the groundbreaking medical drama St. Elsewhere, the animated series Bobby's World and the reality-TV series Howie Do It. Yet live performance remains at the core of Mandel's busy career. In 2019, he showed off his enduring skills as a storyteller and improviser in Howie Mandel Presents: Howie Mandel at the Howie Mandel Comedy Club, his first comedy special in over 20 years.

Opening act wasn't great, and I heard from a friend that had saw Howie previously, that part of the routine was repeated. Having never seen him live, I can't confirm that. It was the best show. Love the theater and spacious seating
Howie Mandel was a excellent show. Good to see him back doing stand up comedy.
Both comics were hilarious. Howie Mandel was amazing
Parts were funny, but I think he should hang up the live performances. He's s bitter guy and it's just not funny to be annoyed by today's technology and people using it. In his defense, purple are rude with cell phones. But, if your in the front row and cellular usage isn't banned, you paid for the ticket so do what you want. Howie's preoccupation with patrolling cellphone usage and talking people ruined the show. Him walking off the stage without ending the show was very rude. I'll not buy another ticket to see him.
I was a little disappointed with the show, his material needs updated, a lot of the jokes I had already heard. He didn't seem very prepared, maybe he was just trying to wing it which is what a lot of comics do, but it didn't seem to work out well for him. Overall I am glad I had the opportunity to see him, but I probably wouldn't do it again.
Seeing Howie in person was amazing! His show was hilarious, and he even incorporated all the audience commentary into the act. I wish we had a little more time with him!
He came on stage and kept talking to the audience and asking them questions with a joke in between now and then. After about an hour of that, he called three people on to the stage and got their names and then walked off and didn't return. Very disappointed.
This show was fantastic! If you don’t mind some off colored language you will most certainly enjoy this show! Howie is a very funny comedian. Well worth coming. If you get the opportunity to see him, do it! Laugh hard and enjoy your evening!
I think some of the best parts were when people around me were shocked at his humor. I listen to his podcast so I knew what I was signing up for. Opening act was great. Crowd work was solid. Quick witty replies. I loved it.
