I saw Norm MacDonald and Kevin Nealon in Springfield, MO last year. It was without a doubt the funniest comedic performance I've ever seen!

Kevin Nealon was just flat out funny. There wasn't a moment when Kevin was onstage that you weren't laughing.

When Norm came on stage, he didn't start off well. Or, rather, many people in the crowd weren't familiar with his routine. He seemed like he was drunk or on drugs (or both). He was slurring a LOT and wasn't making sense.

However, about 5 or 10 minutes into his routine, the entire place was cracking up and the laughter never ended. Many people just had to take 5 or 10 people to figure him out.

At the end, both he and Kevin came onstage together, sat in chairs, and took questions from the crowd. This was unscripted. And, it ended up being more funny than their individual routines. They were playing off each other, razzing each other, razzing the crowd, talking about their SNL experience, making fun of Chris Kattan (apparently they think he's gay and don't like him because he was a punk), they deftly glossed over Chris Farley's death (the one moment they got serious), etc.

They hit the ball out of the park when they were onstage together. It was as if magic was happening. It was like having a mini-SNL backstage pass, or like watching an audition.

Highly recommend their tour.

That sounds pretty cool. I've never cared for NM much, but I've softened on that over the years. I really enjoyed his bit on Letterman's final show...that was funny (and sweet). I do like Nealon though. That sounds like a pretty good show though.

And yeah, apparently every person that's ever met Chris Kataan hates him. It's pretty hilarious.
