NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Capital One Arena Sport reviews
Opening acts were better...
I have never walked out on a performance before, and this was the first time. His stand-up routine during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament was terrible, while I found him funny on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. It appears to me that he may excel more in acting with material written for him rather than writing/performing his own. His set was focused mainly on sex and toilet-humor, which can be amusing when executed correctly (a type of humor I enjoy), but only if the right jokes are told. I sensed that many audience members were uncomfortable with his material.
The theater atmosphere felt more like a football game than a theater, with people constantly getting up during the performance, mainly to purchase more alcohol. The noise of beer bottles/cans rolling on the floor was distracting and not conducive to enjoying the limited stand-up by NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
The opening comedians (Rick Younger and Ardie Fuqua) were much funnier than him, which should disappoint NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Ardie, in particular, stood out for his ability to improvise comedy and engage with the audience, essential qualities for a comedian in my opinion. I would recommend watching Ardie Fuqua perform rather than NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament anytime.
While I appreciated the opening comedians, I do not plan to see NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament perform stand-up again. Every comedian has an off night occasionally, but since he was on a tour, delivering the same jokes to different cities, his set should have been solid and polished. Instead, it felt like rubbing a rough pumice stone on my face.
