Exclusive Footage Of Glenn Beck's Common Sense Comedy Show

Well ladies and gentlemen, last night I, along with a few friends, decided to do the unthinkable. We went to simulcast of Glenn Beck's Common Sense Comedy Tour. And let me tell you, it was amazing!

But, why should I tell you, when I could show you? See, I snuck in my camcorder and am now proud to present a bootleg copy of Glenn Beck's hysterical "stand up" routine. If Glenn looks a little funny, it's just the tape.

Alright, that wasn't actual footage. But, I did actually go, those were actual topics of Glenn's "comedy," and Glenn did come out dressed as a Founding Father in act two. Don't believe me? Here's my ticket stub.

There were about 20 people in the Chicago theater. My friends and I were the only non-believers. I secretly was hoping they would all rise at one point, turn to us like the pod people in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and yell "We Surround Them!!!" But, they didn't.

I actually live-blogged the event on Twitter, so I thought I'd post some of the "highlights." I corrected some typos and added some quotation marks, but here is Glenn's "comedy" as it unfolded.

I could right a review of a Barack Obama speech taken completely out of context and make that look foolish too. Stop letting these people tell you what to think. Go out and watch the show for yourself and make up your own mind.

Strange. The large theatre where I was in Wilmington, DE was completely sold out. In fact it sold out many days in advance.

You are a brave man!

I actually feel sorry for him. Well, maybe embarassed.

So why di Whoopi Goldberg stab that guy, anyway?

I'd rather eat glass shards than watch this goof.

Well, let's hope you never have to do either.

That must have been painful. If you're a Catholic, I think sitting through Beck's "comedy" knocks a whole week off your time in Purgatory.

I think the Pope would agree with that.

How much would I have to pay you to sit through one of Beck's "comedy" shows?

It depends on whether or not I'm allowed to heckle.

Ha. Well, I actually did, so I guess nothing.
