You should expect to have a lot of FUN. There are few things as reliably fun as a JoCo show. (Which is why I've gone to 13 of them.) Definitely get there early because sitting close to the stage makes it better. Paul and Storm play for about an hour. (It's always the same show with the same carefully scripted casual banter but that won't affect you because it'll be your first time.) JoCo plays at least an hour. After wards you can meet them and they'll sign merch. JoCo is very patient and gracious about chatting with and taking photos with adoring fans. He's started the last couple of shows I went to with Betty and Me but that could change.He's started with The Future Soon too. Normally you can count on Re: Your Brains (with audience participation!) Skullcrusher Mountain (he steps back and invites the audience to sing the last chorus as if we haven't all been singing along to the entire song already) Mr. Fancy Pants (with the Zen Drum) and Creepy Doll (with fabulous back up singing and funny schtick by Paul & Storm.) He often encores with First of May which used to lead into Sweet Caroline but hasn't for a while (I miss it!). Sometimes the encore includes A Talk With George. Three things about a live JoCo show: He's a smart charming funny guy and what he has to say between the songs is always interesting. Paul and Storm always join him for part of the set and they add a WHOLE LOT to songs like Always the Moon and Creepy Doll and Soft Rocked. The audience knows most of the lyrics to many of the songs and sings along. Have a great time. You are a very cool parent to bring a 15 year old to a JoCo show and I hope he appreciates that.
