Rant: Tracy Morgan

[jim]

Went to see Tracy Morgan last night at a comedy club in Vernon Hills. The first 15 minutes or so I was laughing hard, it was dirty and raunchy and filthy and funny as hell. All sex related stuff. Then he bumped the raunch-o meter up several notches, stayed on sex as a topic for the next 45 minutes, and proceeded to actually gross me out which is very difficult to do. Remember, I'm the one that got the dead baby jokes going on another thread. So that tells you something right there I think.

Many in the audience left early, and the last few minutes I was just getting numb to it. By then, I was just tired of hearing about the same topic and it was just gross.

Thumbs down for Tracy Morgan.

That's too bad to hear, I've always liked him.

Tracy Morgan is the best comedian out right now, but I never thought his stand up was top notch level.

There were things that were funny, very funny. I had tears in my eyes at times, but it basically was an hour of comedy about sex where he just had to keep getting raunchier to get laughs. If the show was 15 minutes I would have said short but hilarious, for an hour it was just too much.

Man, now I really want to see Tracy Morgan so I can hear what all the fuss is about!

I saw him last year, and I thought that he was hilarious. But yeah there were alot of raunchy sex jokes.

Yep. One of the funny lines was when he was talking about his divorce and the money his wife was taking from him, and that's why he was at Mother .... Zany's.
