Don Rickles tickets can be bought or sold online at Stubhub.com! In interviews, Don Rickles’ nickname—Mr. Warmth—makes perfect sense. He comes off as an affable and jokey Borscht-belt comedian, an old-school wiseguy who has put his wild days with the Rat Pack and Vegas entertainment scene far behind him. If you see him walking, you might even think him frail—he shuffles, and his joints appear to be pretty stiff. But on stage, he’s a lion. The shuffling actually falls away. The shrunken, retired comedian becomes a hurricane of spittle and ill will. This is the real Mr. Warmth, the public Hyde to his private Jekyll. Don Rickles has earned a reputation for being a master tongue-lasher during his career, aiming sarcastic barbs at everyone—himself, his wife, his celebrity friends, and most of all, his audience—not so much tearing them down as sending them up. In his early days in Vegas, hotel staff would pick out certain audience members from the line—obese, plain, downright unattractive, or fashion-blind—and offer them front row seating. Little did they know that they were simply easy targets, planted as fodder for Rickles’ quick wit. Even today, when he’s on late night television talk shows, his motor mouth is flying at 100 miles per hour, leaving his much younger hosts in the dust. Occasionally he’ll slip-up while talking and joke about his age. It’s at those moments you realize he’s been going non-stop for minutes, delivering punchlines and jabs at a rate that seems humanly impossible. The truth is, Don Rickles is a pro. He’s been entertaining for longer than most people have been alive. When you see him on stage, picking on people for their looks, or even their race—always careful to back off for a moment and explain that it’s all in good humor, that everyone is equally a target—that you realize the rarity of his talent. That tongue has been whetted over hundreds of audiences in his life—and you can bet, if you buy Don Rickles tickets and see him live, that you’ll experience a tongue sharper than any sword you’ve ever seen.
