Howie Mandel at Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre

Did you ever think something really terrible about a stranger in public? A thought that surprised you because your mom didn’t raise you to think that way? That’s okay, we all have, and comedians capitalize on it. It’s easy not to feel like a terrible person when the comedian has it all onstage and throws their worst thoughts out into the world. If they can make a joke about the most downtrodden things in the world, and still be thought of as a good person and show their humanity, your mean comment to your roommate won’t feel as catastrophic, trust us.
