“Being in a school you immediately assume [it will be tame]” said Chris D, the first performer to take to the stage.
That’s at least what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised about the jokes they told. This event was incredibly fun, easily the most fun out of all of the events I’ve ever seen here so far.
When I came into this show with a jacket that I had never worn, and now never will, I wasn’t surprised by the small amount of people milling around. When I got there there were only about ten people in the auditorium, later on when I looked back at the audience there were only 40 people in the auditorium, needless to say the theatre wasn’t packed.
So I got a chance to stretch out my legs, lean back and enjoy the show.The first person on was Chris D who had recently come back from a USO show.
“You never know where you can and can’t go” Chris D said. His first toe into the water was a joke about him being the token white guy on a BET show called Socialy Offensive Behavior. When the audience laughed at this he became more daring and moved around to jokes about misspelling hotmail online.
Overall he said the show was a “piece of cake”. He left the stage with many cheers to Debbie Lockhart.
Debbie Lockhart set her own pace by announcing her new ten dollar boob job by doctor schoals.
“You guys are the best, I love you!” Lockhart said as she frantically moved around stage. “But I won’t marry you”.Lockhart’s jokes often focused on her sexual frustrations, and while those were incredibly funny my favorite was her joke on role playing, in which she said that she would pretend to be the economy and her husband would pretend to be George Bush.
That way she would “get screwed real good”.The last comedian up was Jimmy Turner. Jimmy Turner was quite different from the previous comedians because all of his jokes connected to each other and transitioned very well. While the previous two comedians did this their jokes didn’t connect as well making times where the audience was totally silent. When Turner was performing the audience seemed as thought it was laughing the whole time.
“He knows his craft” Reynato Peña said of Turner.
“I had to be funny” said Turner of his childhood. “No other choice or I was just another fat kid.”
Telling all of Turner’s jokes that I found funny here would completely rip him off, and would take far too much space.The part of his performance I found the most entertaining was when he handed out sarcastic greeting cards to the audience, so that they could be given again to others. The best one was:
“Last night was magical and amazing.”
“Why the hell are you still here?”
Overall the audience enjoyed the show.”[I] liked the whole thing, I can’t lie” Sean Allgood said. “I really needed a good laugh.”
