The Lonely Island, the music and comedy powerhouse trio of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer have been releasing music since 2009 when they released their first album Incredibad. But it took until this year for them to go on tour, which brought them to New York for two sold out shows with the first taking place at The Rooftop at Pier 17 and then a slightly fancier show in Brooklyn at Kings Theatre the very next night on June 22, which we were in attendance for.

The band has been bringing out surprise comedians to open up on this tour and the Kings Theatre show nabbed a hell of a good one with a hilarious set from Mike Birbiglia, one of my favorite comedians working today.

Following an introduction from Samberg’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Stephanie Beatriz, the trio took the stage with a tour-only special new song “We’re on Stage.” The crowd instantly lost their mind and the group carried the momentum and energy throughout the show, running through all their best songs and material from their albums as well as digital shorts from SNL. Highlights included their performances of favorites such as encore closer “I’m On A Boat,” “I Just Had Sex,” as well as “Lazy Sunday,” which saw Chris Parnell surprise the crowd and perform the track with Samberg.

The show ran for about 75-minutes and went by quick but it was clear that there was a lot of demand for these shows after how long fans have been waiting to see them perform and we hope to see them return sometime in the near future (did someone say a hometown show next year at Governors Ball 2020?)

Find the setlist posted below, along with a few more iPhone shots from their performance.
