"It's a Start"

We got comps so decided to check this new show out. Supposedly, there are "two headliners" every night. Maybe. But "headliners" for what, is the question--the Shriners Convention?

1st of all, the MC was pretty bad. He reminded me of a guy that's kind of funny in the break room at work but when he gets on stage you've already seen his best stuff by the water cooler. Don't remember his name but that's probably for the best.

I think the 1st "headliner" was named John Bizarre. His last name was definitely "Bizarre", at any rate. He was the best part of the show. Some original stuff, read the crowd well and did some decent improvisation. Some good laughs here.

Then came the closing headliner act. Don't remember their names and they aren't listed on the web site but they were a white guy and a blind Mexican guy (seriously, he was blind). Supposedly they have been on Jay Leno and the poster outside the theater said they were George Lopez' favorite act but we thought they were incredibly weak. They thought each other was funny, however, which caused long pauses in between mediocre bits. The pair had been together for a long time (something like 15 years) so it looked like any improvisational variation they did on their standard act was quite amusing to them, leaving the audience to figure out what was so funny.

Hopefully, this venue will be able to start attracting a better quality of comedian 'cause the list price of $24.95 ain't bad (specials for locals, too) and the "Free Buffet or Two Drinks with each ticket purchased!" is kind of enticing. It's also easy to get in and out of unlike some other show rooms inside casinos .
