I used to go to comedy clubs quite often. Far more good experiences than bad. Going with a group can add to the experience IMO.
Saw George Carlin way back while in college. We were literally sore from laughing by the end of the show. As an aside.....Leon Redbone opened for Carlin.....if you're under 50, probably have no clue...Leon was fantastic...as a story teller, and a musician.
Saw Carlos Mencia about 20 years ago when he was red-hot. I was in Jacksonville, FL, so of course there were a few intoxicated good ole boys who thought heckling him would be a good idea (where's your burritos?.....can you play Freebird......I need a my grass cut, you available? etc.) I have never seen hecklers so thoroughly emasculated, intellectually destroyed, and emotionally left for dead in my life. The remainder of the audience gave Carlos a standing ovation as the slain hecklers slid out the side door as soon as the house lights were re-darkened and the destruction was complete.
One of the very few times I wish I had possessed a smart phone for recording an event. It would have gone viral, I tell ya.....a billion views......I wouda had a GT2!!
