Although the line up sounded great, the material was not even funny, almost like they improvised at worst, or at best didn't bother to come up with new material. The only comedian who even made me laugh was Brian Regan.

I had high hopes for the Garden of Laughs event because it featured respected and well-known comedians, plus it was for a good cause. However, most of the comedians made jokes based on deterioration from age, ranging from Robert Klein singing about a colonoscopy (great voice, though) to Ray Romano giving me an unpalatable visual of part of his genitals being affected by gravity. Wanda Sykes just stammered until almost the end of her set. The most generally relatable entertainer was Brian Regan who didn't allude to anything anatomical. Even then, it would have been tolerable except for the security staff who huddled near our seats, which were by the exit, and who didn't bother to lower their voices or their walkie-talkie conversations, and who kept going in and out of the exit doors nearest us as celebrating Ranger fans walked by. It took me an hour and a half to get to the venue from Long Island and I had to spend for the train, too. I'd rather just send a check to this charity and watch TV comedy shows than take the trouble of trekking in and being disappointed and unable to change the channel.

Overall, the event was great. There were a lot of famous people coming together to support a great cause. I suspect the event will keep getting better and better. My only complaint is that they didn't have big projector screens up so if you weren't sitting upfront, you missed out on key facial expressions.

I enjoyed the entire night. It was fun watching the celebrities walk npast us to get to their seats. The comics were good. I will say that I saw Ray Ramano on television the week before and he used some of the same jokes which was a little let down. Robert Klein was hysterical.

The surprise presenters were a fun addition. There were a few really good comedians that had lots of energy and great acts. Some other comedians you could tell were either high or a little tipsy, lol. I don't mind if they were drinking or smoking back stage but considering it's an act you could tell something was up; slurring of the words or slow in their talk. That part was a little disappointing. But overall the show was very entertaining and definitely a lot of laughs!

There were 6 top-notch comics on the bill but it ended up being disappointing. Adam Ferrara was first. He did a good, short set. Then it was Darrel hammond, who was awful. He seemed unprepared and possibly high. Robert Klein was excellent, but again the set was very short. Next was the usually hysterical Wanda Sykes, but she was definitely out of her element, as the producers had told her to keep it clean. As a result her set was weak. I figured with all of those short (less than 20 minute) sets, that the two headline comics, Brian Regan and Ray Romano would perform longer. I was unfortunately disappointed as they both performed very funny, but way abbreviated sets.
Very disappointing.
The show was also padded with various celebs. presenting the performers which was a waste.

Loved when Robert Klein came out. My daughter is a little young to know him, but laughed from beginning to end. Ray Romano and Wanda Sykes (she kept her language in check) were great. The show ran smoothly and was well worth attending even in the freezing cold.

Adam Ferrara, Brian Reagan and Robert Klein were excellent.
Darrell Hammond was good, but not on stage long enough.
Ray Romano was somewhat flat and disappointing.
Wanda Sykes should have stayed home (and I thought she would be excellent)

All the comedians were great but each set should have been at least 30 mins. If it was a time issue then there should have been less or no presenters.

I know this is a charitable event...so don't mean to be negative, but the Garden of Laughs was characterized by comedians holding back their A material ...and a few who just are not that funny!! Any of the comedy clubs in the city would have been a better show....but I know, it is for Charity!

The night of comedic performances at the Garden of Laughs was a terrific night
filled with amazing standup. Robert Klein, Ray Romano and Brian Regan had me laughing harder than I've laughed in a long time. They were in top form and had the crowd hysterical. Adam Ferrara was also very good. It was a great night, for a great cause and my wife and I can't wait until they do it again.
