Find something else to talk about other than white people
First and last time I will ever go to see him the guy the hulk who opened for him was funny but after that I was not impressed and offended I have thick skin so for me to be offended saying something it was a roasting of white people and I didn't think it was funny at all totally disappointed 😔☹ï¸..
Eddie Griffith not funny at all
I had been waiting for years to see him live. What a terrible comedian. Not a funny show at all, only insults to interracial couples as his main theme. He even got into a hateful vulgar segment about Kamala Harris in the Chicagoland area right after the convention and concluded that he was voting for "the orange man". By the end of the show he appeared to be so drunk that he decided to start singing. Absolutely terrible. The only funny part of the show were the videos he showed as an introduction. If he had the courage to show the very funny highlights you would think he would advance the humor even more. Nope. He was too drunk and totally out of sync. People were leaving the Improv before the show ended. Very disappointing.
interracial couple, sit in back.
I'll give 1 star for the first few laughs I got until I literaaly became his show. I was so excited for my husband and I to go see him, and even more excited that we ended up with great seats. Midway through the show, it dawned on me that they placed us there FOR A SPECIFIC purpose, being the only interracial couple in attendance from what I could see. So, I sat there in the front and took his shit. There were even other people in the audience telling him that he was being pretty mean. Eventually I very quietly asked my husband if it would be considered rude to get up to use the restroom (had a UTI and the pre-show beverage hit me like a bullet train), and of course he called me out for talking in his show. So, I sat there in pain knowing that if I got up, he would make it about something else. Finally, because he wouldn't shut up and close the show I had no choice but to go. My husband left with me and of course we were heckled as if I we were doing the walk of shame; the white lady couldn't hack it and she controls the black man....bla, bla bla. Moral of the story, if you are an interracial couple, make sure you sit in the back; don't be the material for his show. OH, forgot to mention he was pretty sauced by the end.
Drunk On Stage
I spent over $80 to see a drunk perform! Eddie Griffin is a very funny comedian when he’s doing a Stand-Up Special. But our Las Vegas trip at the SLS was ruined when Griffin performed drunk & he even drank on stage!
Eddie Griffin.. Just do Better…
It’s is deeply disturbing/uncomfortable. Opinions aren’t jokes. Attacking a minority group isn’t a joke. “Joking†about how “we should go back to a time where we chase and kill f*g*o*s isn’t funny. It’s 2023 do better and find better material to “joke†about . It’s disgusting to know the venue would allow that. ESPECIALLY since Hamburger Mary’s is next door. Hate crimes are still exists and this is just proof you can’t even be safe at a “comedy show†. And Eddie just simply do better dude. Ignorance isn’t bliss. And projection isn’t cute.
