Weird Al.
Only like 4-5 times so far, but I have tickets for this summer's tour stop near me
Going to shows is a hobby of mine, I go to a lot of shows. But there is only one artist who I will never miss when he comes to town and it's Weird Al.
I cannot express strongly enough to anyone reading this who has never seen Al: do it! It's an elaborate comedy show, you don't have to know a single song to enjoy it. It's always drop-dead hilarious and worth twice whatever you pay for it.
Perhaps with the notable exception of his "Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tours" (there have been two so far, iirc) which are definitely more for the hardcore fans, though still funny as hell.
Yes. Definitely a top performer. Even the costume changes alone are impressive.
We’ve seen him a few times now and the breadth of his work absolutely amazes me. We’ve seen his well known show where he reprises his music videos twice. A few years ago we saw him when he toured with a full orchestra, and most recently we saw him do an “unplugged” concert which was just him and his band playing acoustically and only doing his original songs, no parodies. I’d honestly forgotten how many original songs he’s written.
Yeah, he really has had an amazing career. And puts on a heck of a performance at the shows I've seen too.
