Any Chris Rock Fans?

I've got 10th row seats at tonight's show in the Orpheum Theatre.  I've watched his DVDs for YEARS.... cannot wait. This will be my first comedy concert.

Anyone else see him live before?

I've never seen him live, but he's hilarious.

Best comedy show I ever saw was the late, great Mitch Hedberg (your fellow Minnesotan) at a local comedy club here in Nashville.  He played here again about three weeks before he died and I didn't go.  Wish I had.

I caught some of his show at the music festival, Bannaroo. He is a good comedian but just not my thing.

I never got to see Mitch. I had tickets for one of his shows and then he managed to off himself two weeks beforehand. I'm still bitter.

I don't usually go to comedy shows, something about spending all that money for one person who doesn't have a band or road crew... but regardless, Chris Rock is one of the greats.  Hedberg too.

I saw Jim Gaffigan live once. I've never laughed so hard in my life. Funniest comedian alive, IMO.

Chris Rock is pretty damn funny.  The only big time comedian I've ever seen live is Dave Chapelle and he was hilarious.

With Hedberg dead, I agree with that statement.  Gaffigan is great.

Here's my little two second review of the show:

He is hands down the funniest man on earth.

I used to go to a lot of comedy shows when I was in college, but I haven't been to one in a while now. For my money, Dave Chapelle was the funniest guy I've ever seen live. Tracy Morgan was easily the worst.

"Now I'm not saying he should have killed her - but I understand."

Hoping to go see John Pinnette in September.  The first time I saw him, I laughed for the entire set - even when I was in the bathroom.

This time around, here's what he had to say about OJ...

"I can't believe how fast they yank white kids away from their parents now a days. Britney Spears' children look healthy and well dressed - can't be THAT bad, but got taken away, yet Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston still have their kids."

"Heck, even OJ still has his kids....                                                 and he killed the MOTHER!"

LOL

should have went. I think Gaffigan is coming to MN soon if i'm not mistaken. HOT POCKET!!

When I saw him me and 11 of my friends went and some of them thought it'd be cool to get hammered before.  This was probably the only place I've ever been to where a white kid could just drop the N bomb and the black people behind us just start laughing.  I really wish he'd come back to comedy.
