A
group of us went to Wise Cracker Comedy Club this weekend and
actually laughed until we hurt. This was my first visit and I had
such a good time that I had to share the fun with you. Some of my
past experiences with comedy clubs have been disappointing, so I was
not expecting a lot. Saturday night was an enjoyable surprise.
Quinn
Patterson was the opening act and I can picture his becoming a
headliner in the near future. Quinn is a comic who is not overly
angry, uncomfortably vulgar, or extremely racist. His stories may be
from a black perspective, but they are stories that all of the
audience could relate to. He simply depended on his keen eye for the
human situation to be funny and it worked.
Headliner
Paul Venier was not afraid to pass the line of good taste into the
realm of political incorrectness and vulgarity and the audience loved
it. He was amazing. First of all, (actually I will not tell you about
his VERY first appearance on stage, you would have to see that for
yourself) he chose ten or fifteen members of the audience. After
getting the person’s name, occupation, and a little personal
information, Venier was able to work the information into the show.
As I said, “Amazing”.
He
had jokes for every occupation from policeman to dentist……well,
actually some very bad puns. His use of props was clever, his humor
outrageous, and his music talent impressive. I would suggest that you
check Paul Venier out; you will laugh until you hurt also.
Wise
Crackers is located at Celebration Hall every weekend. A cash bar and
complimentary buffet are available. Our group went this particular
Saturday because it was a fund raiser for the Wounded Warriors and I
understand that various groups use this venue as a fund raiser. To
check their schedule or to make reservations, you can call them at
1-866-424-2411. Believe me, it was an evening well spent.
