I haven't been to a Jon Steward taping, but I think it's more of a set age restriction, not an age recommendation. Though, I do get where you're coming from, sadie, and I think it was worth asking. I mean, you can still go to a restricted movie with an adult, if you're under 17, and the same with theatre that has recommendations for age limits. But, like I said, I don't think you'd get in here. I've been to other tapings, and they check IDs on the way in, and I'd tend to think it'd be the same deal with Jon Stewart.
With that being said, I would tend to think getting your hands on a pair of tickets for the date you need would be as tough as getting in underage.
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
