You have already watched the Dr. Phil bit. Everyone has. Somebody sent it to you with no caption, you watched it more times than you would admit to, and then you went looking for more — which is roughly how this entire audience got built.
Live is a different animal. He is an improviser and an impressionist and a comic's comic, so the show is crowd work, characters, and riffing that goes somewhere nobody planned. That is the thing a special can never capture, because a special is edited and this is not. No two nights are the same, and the room knows it, so people turn up ready to be part of the machinery.
The Balboa Theatre downtown is one of the more beautiful old rooms in the city. Get there early; the pre-show energy is half of it.
Bring the friend who quotes bits for weeks afterward. You are about to lose a month of conversations to this.
