Anchorman Comedian didn't exactly provide a WHAMMY
by RAJ23 on 3/5/14Gramercy Theatre - New YorkWith the headliner being a big name actor/comedian and having been to several comedy shows in the past, I was expecting a Much better performance. David was funny, but the jokes were just too damn long. Any great comedy show I've been to, the performers keep the jokes short and sweet and hilarious, and then keep it moving. David told maybe a total of 6 or 7 jokes, more than half of which were roughly 20 minute long stories. Me being the type who loves comedy shows, I stuck with it hoping for some big laughs, but they just didn't come. I would say his show was average, and what I liked best about his performance was that he was using real life experiences (about his wife & kids) to drive the play home. I think what the rest of the crowd enjoyed the most was quoting his own movie lines. Yeah, it's cute and funny for a second, but if I wanted to hear all of the lines from Anchorman or Out Cold, I would have stayed home and watched the movies. Some members of the crowd were pretty annoying, to be quite honest. Also, his opener was awkward. Very awkward. The opener was a smaller-status comedian that was part of David's crew (he joined in for the last of David's story-jokes), but he was either too nervous or too drunk to even finish some of his jokes. Overall, the 2-for-1 ticket deal was the best part of my purchase because I would have been even less impressed if I paid full price for each ticket to see an average comedy show.
