David Spade's standup...

[hardheadjarhead]

My wife and spent $60.00 to see him tonight...awful show. He honestly had one of the worst stand up routines I've seen. He mumbled...his material seemed unrehearsed. I've seen better shows done at local comedy clubs by virtual unknowns.

A waste of time and cash.

Yeah, I've never been a big fan of David Spade without Chris Farley....

Sorry to hear you had to be put through that...

The only comedian I've ever paid to see is George Carlin. (I don't count taking the kids to see Weird Al.) He was good, as expected. I think he's a genius (George Carlin, not Weird Al).

David Spade was on The Tonight Show recently and joked about how he never changes his act.

I have seen Bob Hope,George Carlin and Stephen Lynch in person, along with some unknowns in comedy clubs. George Carlin by far was the best I have seen. I watched David Spade's standup on HBO and thought he was really funny.

When he came to MI I had a couple of friends that went and saw him and they said he was really funny too. But they did say that it was pretty much the same as his HBO stuff.

I liked Spade on his TV show, but I forget the name. Doah! I didnt think he would be much of a standup.

I saw the Blue Collar Comedy Tour in person, some new material, but kinda the same format. Still, it was good. If it was Foxworthy alone I think it may have bombed, but the 2 he had with him (Larry for 1, forget the other) really helped Fox make the show.

I always found David Spade annoying--esp. on SNL. He just doesn't appeal to me.

Ive seen quite a few commedians, including Carlin... I couldnt see spending money on David spade tho.

Sucks that the tix were so expensive.

Man, I'd have loved to have seen Bob Hope. Good, clean comedy. It seems like most comedians can't get a laugh anymore without going for the lowest common denominators like vulgar language and blatant sexual references...of course, this is coming from a man who really enjoys Carlin as well so go figure.

sorry to hear that. spade never did seem that funny to me, without of course with a sidekick like farley. sorta lame if you ask me. some comedians are "more funny" with others. case in point, i saw larry the cable guy in 1997, who at the time was a regular on z104.5 the edge's (tulsa) morning show. wasn't really that funny but when i saw him again on the BCCT stuff, he was hilarious...oh well.

You know, I've never seen a single one of his flicks. I thought his "Capital One" commercials (that's the company, right?) were pretty good. He stinks at stand up.

The funniest I've ever seen is Dennis Miller...I almost passed out from hypoxia. The first time I saw George Carlin was at University of Washington in 1976...the second time about four years ago. I've seen Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, Chris Rock and Jon Stewart. We're going to go see Lewis Black in October. Black will easily make up for this one.

You win some, you lose some. I posted that mostly to warn you guys not to waste a ticket on him. Sounds like most of you wouldn't have anyway.
