We figured the best shows to see would be the Galas with the big names.
But, the way it works is this: the headliner only hosts the show. They just introduce the comics. And, you can't find out before hand who you are actually gonna see. So, you buy tickets based on the big name.
All the headliners (Chevy Chase, Adam Samberg) didn't really do anything except read introductions from a TelePrompTer. I coulda done that.
Most of the comics weren't funny and we had lights shining in our eyes the whole show.
So disappointing.
Out of 5 Galas and 2 other shows in 5 nights, we might have seen a total of 5-6 good comics.
There were a few bright spots, but mostly it was just crude, lude and racist humour.
Ron White was pretty good, but his intro comic was actually funnier.
Oh well, lesson learned.
Update:
Just saw the Gala hosted by Russell Peters - now that it is how it should be done! What a great show! George Wallace, Godfrey...actually all the comics were funny! Russell himself did a set too and was good.
Super glad they weren't all weak.
