Quotes
"Because you are here, because you're listening, you know that we're committed to making high-quality entertainment. We want you to feel like you're here at the table laughing with us, crying with us, celebrating with us, because you are."
Joe O'Brien•Opening
"Why come for just one night? Because if you come both nights, you get two completely different shows with a combined cast that is absolutely unreal."
Joe O'Brien•Tour announcement
"This is insane. You need to come and watch it live and in person."
Joe O'Brien•Cast announcement
"The last couple of years, the crowds have kind of slowed down a little bit. And I thought, well, you know what? This is a perfect time to take a sad, very sad year off from Boston and wait until next spring so we can re-time it up again with PAX East."
Troy Lavallee•Q&A segment
"Prove me wrong by buying tickets to the LA shows and the live streams and every other show that we have happening on the tour."
