Jeff Dunham - comedy show question.

[cannon_fodder]

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but my wife wants to go to the Dunham show tonight at the BOK so I looked up tickets.  I noticed it was the "SPARK OF INSANITY TOUR,"  the same tour that has already spawned a Comedy Central show, YouTube clips, and a DVD. I must assume that this is the same material then.

Hearing music live is well worth the money, even if I own the CD.  But hearing a joke again?  Never as funny, even if it is now presented live.

Am I wrong, or the same tour will be essentially the same material (I understand comedy is organic).  If so, I'm going to be in the dog house because I don't want to pay $45 a pop to hear jokes I already heard.  I thought they did the specials at the end of the tour (refined material, incentive for people to see the show live, builds hype).

Anybody?

Some material changes, keep in mind the live performance is longer as well.

Should also be interesting since he is in the news now being criticized for the dead terrorist puppet.

True.  I appreciate live performances.  But I've already seen 40 minutes of the act, I'd be paying $100 to see the other 20 minutes and/or some minor alterations.    Strange that they do it that way (DVD first, tour second), to me it's simply not worth the money and my wife and I will find something else to do.

I was looking forward to it too. [V]

My advice:

Keep Mrs. Fodder happy, pay your $100 and take cat naps while she isn't looking.

I have watched his show on television for a number of years. He has a wide variety of characters. I bet you haven't seen all of what he will do at the BOKcenter.

There is quite a few of his routines on youtube as well...

Jose Jalapeno.... on a stick.

I've heard that he does alot of improv with the puppets.  Each act is different.

He had another comedian travelling with him as well... Guitar Guy.
