I was lucky enough to see him in person last year when his "National Tour Tour" came to my area (Albany, NY) and he was great - he spoke for over two hours in front of a sold out crowd with only a microphone, a stool and three glasses of water. He talked about his SNL days, but mainly about his days in the Senate. He told jokes (Ted Cruz), did impressions (McConnell) and got a standing ovation at the end. He even drew one of his maps of the states while he was speaking and offered to sign it and donate it to a local Democratic cause. Looks like his tour is winding down, but I recommend it highly.
