There are very few comedians that I'd pay $50.00 or more to see. Craig Ferguson is one of them. I'd even pay $129.00 to rent a car so I could feel safe driving to the venue that's only about 25 miles from my home.
Oye!
The show started rather late, thanks to the Palace not being able to get everyone seated in a timely manner. Sheesh! Perhaps they should have had a last call at the bar, because I've never been to the theater when it took that long to get everyone seated, but maybe that had to do with the size of the crowd. I'm pretty damn sure it was sold out or close to it.
After sitting through an opening act that wasn't nearly as funny as I hoped it would be, we finally got Craigy...and some dancers. Woo hoo. One such dancer was wearing black leather shorts playing a flute. Woo hoo! And the hilarity begins.
Craig is one of those men who can simply be funny, just by being, if that makes any sense and his stand up plays out nicely like one really long monologue only he's not wearing a suit. Nope he's not. He's wearing a lovely pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a leather jacket.
Ladies, its hard to drool and laugh at the same time. Just to let you know, in case you are going to see Craigy any time soon. Its something you'll have to try to perfect though, because between stories about sex scandals, his home life and his discussion on how he likes to cuss, well, its safe to say the drool buckets will be needed. Mr. Ferguson is a good looking guy. Actually he's a good looking, funny guy, who makes the song Oops I Did It Again a whole lot more entertaining.
