The Rube was Better than Ever
by Richie on 3/2/24Punch Line Comedy Club - San Francisco - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5Bob Rubin continues to be the most innovative and conceptual comedian on the scene but may be underrated by the club's management. His show was filled with his own unique style of material that engaged the diverse audience through his mental stimulation. The Rube is brilliant in his approach by taking you there while you don't know where you're going. In my opinion, he is on top of the heap of comedians. Last year’s show was also a Wednesday–not a weekend–which means that we fans who live 50+ miles away have to take a day off, drive in commuter traffic, and not be able to have a full "date night"out on the town. Bob Rubin is one of the Club's best attractions and should be given prime billing and placement. Shame on the Punchline's lack of comedic vision when they should be Rube's biggest promoter. This year, we all expected a weekend show for this Headliner. Plus, I missed Bubbles. It is expensive to attend a show at the Punchline. The parking is horribly inconvenient, the Signature drinks were weak, and popcorn is $9.00! Yet, great waitstaff and warm crew. But for a night with Bob Rubin, it's priceless!
