As mentioned previously, I attended the live Glenn Beck comedy show. It was very funny, and well worth the admission. My wife wasn't able to attend, so hopefully I'll be able to get a recording of it for her. The great thing about the show was that it wasn't what you'd expect from someone on conservative talk radio, in the sense that it was a comedy show that poked fun at all politicians. Texas governor Rick Perry was in attendance, as well as one of the greatest men on the planet, American hero and Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell. Supposedly, T. Boone Pickens from "Pickens Plan" was there, but I didn't see him in the audience.
The theater had more patrons than I would have expected, if only because Glenn isn't on a local station here in Detroit. You'll need to try to tune in Toledo, or as I've been told, Grand Rapids. You can also catch the show via XM if you are lucky enough to have a subscription (XM is really worth it by the way.) Ironically enough, there were multiple occasions when Glenn commented on how terrible Detroit was. Being from the Detroit area, in a Detroit theater, we all LOVED this and cheered wildly. There were other funny parts as well, many from the pre-show before the satellite feed started. As some of the pictures below show, they took standard movie pre-show advertisments and trivia etc...and turned them into a humorous political situation. Some noteworthy ones I missed were the word jumble of Britney Spears which somehow read Presbyterian and the picture showing McCain and Obama asking to find the differences between the photos, only to reveal that there are no differences.
While I wish I had smuggled in my HD Camcorder and/or DSLR, my Blackberry had to suffice for the show. Here are some pictures and videos, albeit in low quality:
