John Oliver! Our favorite comedian and political satirist, along with John Stewart, appeared at UB tonight. Rescheduled because of the snow storm, he made the best of Buffalo's battle with thunder snow. He worked it into a good chunk of his material. The audience roared in response. What a show! The best I've ever seen. The material was timely, incisive, outrageous. He has such a sharp eye and his observations are woven into hysterical stories. I laughed till tears ran down my face. And everyone who knows me, knows that's the sign.
The opener was a young woman comedienne who also studied in the Upright Citizen's Brigade like Colin has. We missed another one of Colin's shows last night. If there wasn't a parent meeting last night, we could have stayed in NYC one more day to see him perform. He got into the 400 level class and will have another show. When? In May! Only the busiest month of the year for us! Rats. I'm sure he's just as happy that his parents aren't in the audience.
It's a terrible picture, but John is definitely recognizable.
