Like this one time, me and my friends went to see a stand up comedian. The event was supposed to start at 8. The opening sketch started like at 9:30, and it wasn't performed by the main comedian we went to see. He ended up getting on stage around 11 pm. Same thing happens with concerts or any other big event.
Even with parties or friend gatherings, it's a non-written rule that you never arrive at the time the party starts. The right time to arrive is at least 1 or two hours AFTER lol.
