Live Comedy
A bunch of us (Bobo, Jasmine, Kiara, Craing, Spice, Jhianna, and myself) went out to Comedy Works Friday night. There were three acts. Two openers, and a headliner. The headliner was Craig Ferguson. He was the Scottish boss from the Drew Carey Show. More recently, he’s been hosting a late, late talk show on one of the major networks.
The two openers were pretty funny, and they warmed up the crowd nicely. I found myself laughing at almost every one of their jokes. It was good stuff. When Craig Ferguson finally got on stage, he was a bit slow to start with, but he finally got into the rythm of the show. As he got more comfortable with the crowd, he would go on side tangents away from his main act. His improv was pretty damn good, and his prepared material was even better.
There were quite a few good quotes durng the show, but my mind isn’t made to remember stuff like that. I wish I could remember some of the funnier moments, so that I could share them with you. I guess you’ll just have to take my word for the fact that it was a good show.
My only complaint of the night was that we were packed in like sardines. I expected tables and chairs, or something similar. Instead, it was rows and rows of seats that couldn’t be moved, and they were packed in there. The chairs were OK for the first hour, but by the end of the second hour of the show, I couldn’t feel my ass any more. When it was time to leave, I could barely walk. From the posture of the other people around me, I’m pretty sure that they were in the same boat as me.
