I guess not every night is Laugh Out Loud…

The videos promoting Whitney Cummings Podcast at the beginning were fun and provided some laughs along the way. The opener (I have forgotten her name) was funny, and I felt was one of the better openers I’ve seen in a long time. The main act, Whitney Cummings, was a bit of a let down. I saw her recently at the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, and her performance there drew me to buy tickets to this show. I found she either wasn’t prepared, or just gave up early into the show. It started with one very long rant/joke on trans people and then she seemed off put by the crowd reaction so then proceeded to walk the crowd for over an hour, the odd giggle from crowd comments, she went back on stage for one more joke/story and was done. I don’t know if the photo op at the end of the show was supposed to be factored in for the length of the show - anyone could walk up to the stage and snap a selfie - wasn’t really organized just Whitney yelling into a mic instructions to have your phone out and have people ready… just a bit of a let down from a comedy show, would have liked more jokes straight from Whitney Cummings herself, less crowd stuff.
