Just when we thought that we had seen it all in the Vail Village we were introduced to the Steve Meyer show this year, and thank goodness we were! It takes place at ‘The Club’ (as we mentioned in our Vail review last year, this bar is on Bridge Street and is our favorite bar in the village and worry not because this place is the farthest thing from a ‘club’- rather a club mockery) and if you are lucky enough to be in the Vail Village on a Wednesday or Saturday night during the winter season you can witness the insanity that is Steve Meyer.

Before I start though I should admit that I don’t traditionally care for comedy shows and am easily bored by them. So I really was not especially excited about attending the Steve Meyer ‘Comedy Show’ as I had my opinion about what a comedy show is and what it was going to be like. The Steve Meyer Show doesn’t feel like a comedy show per se- rather a gathering of friends shooting the s#it - it is intimate and personal and such a great time.

"The Good Times Man"

With all of that said, I am not exactly sure if words can do the ‘good times man’ justice. Steve Meyer is an experienced musician who has turned his plethora of original songs and cover pieces into a 2.5 hour comedy show.  He picks his own victims out of the crowd and spares no one in the process. If you are a women with perky ‘tickets’ or a man in a fedora, consider yourself fresh meat and expect to be incorporated into the show. Don’t fret about it though - Steve will break the ice by challenging you to a drink race (you take the tequila and Steve will chug the beer and somehow he finishes first, this guy is not only a professional musician…). He finds the rowdy ones and invites them on the stage, he finds the rich ones and has them buy the bar a round and he finds the ones hiding behind their friends and challenges them to a shot on stage.

If the excessive drinking is not enough for you, well, then good…because his jokes are vulgar, offensive, inappropriate and all around hilarious. He is nonstop action between the shots (which he shares), the spotlight he puts you under (literally) and the mockery he makes out of each person in the audience. The Steve Meyer show really is such a good time, do not go all the way to Vail, CO without fitting him in. I promise you, you will NOT regret it (although maybe your pride will - see for your self check out our full album on flickr).
