The material here is really good, and I love that there are plenty of "politically incorrect" truths sprinkled through the show. I saw the first performance which was good but a little tentative perhaps. I hope the performer finds the right "energy" in the upcoming shows -- it should be really great. Definitely go see this show.
I thought it was excellent! I laughed a lot, and it was poignant. I'm really glad I saw it.
Well based on the Sat eve show(3/4) I'd say he found the right "energy". I'd just say too that the audience has a hand in that (not that we were a significantly better audience......well, maybe)
HBO material-definitely. Want to laugh your ass off? Then go see this show. Not for the children nor those with rigid political views that are easily offended!
WOW. Funny, compelling, exciting.
He does the right thing by making sure there's a laugh every few minutes, instead of droning on about social commentary stuff.
He belongs Off Broadway.
Overall, the informal exit pole suggests this may be the best show of the Festival. Lots of laughs, good tempo, nice performance..all the usual blah blah when the performer hasn't screwed up royally.
Now the real gig is if they intend to come back, bring a friend, NOT get stoned before hand just in case the act sucks...hmmm...this all points to something..not so terribly bad.
Final Analysis..GO
Goon in Back
This is a pretty damn funny show! Although it's a little rough around the edges and his timing is a bit off, the potential is there. Good observational humor. Very intelligent. I admired his risk taking! Definetly worth a look. Recommended.

Without a doubt the highlight of the Festival...some day we will look back and say "I can't believe I caught his act in Fresno way back when." If you are even CONSIDERING this show, you must attend - do not miss it.
He KILLED tonight! Huge crowd...and despite his rough voice, he killed...it's true...we'll be saying 'we knew him when.'
The previous review said it all! GREAT
WOW! WOW! WOW! A young CANADIAN who has such depth & understanding of our human idiocy!!! My hats off to you NILE! Keep your internal doors open ALWAYS! You have much reality to mirror to ALL of us!
God bless you!
Nile!
you were awesome!!!!
Funny, topical and fresh. Not too rough but with a definite edge
i lost myself in laughter. i caught nile's extra show on sat afternoon, and saw the first 1/2 of his second performance that evening. he was suprisingly able to work both small and large audiences. he was able to adjust his material to the situation at hand as well as let go with some amazing improv. he's a natural! i look forward to seeing nile have his own dvd or hbo special or something. i'd hecka go to canada to see him again, he's that funny!
That nigga had me laughing my ass off!!!!! More like that, Canada.
Watched the March 5 show.
Good performance, but at times his delivery could have been better.
Nile Seguin offered insightful humor about ethnicity, the entertainment industry, sex, and ...more.
Hope to see Nile at the next Rogue Festival.
