Well first of all thanks Heidi for inviting me to see the Stripteasers last night. When I saw the poster I knew I wanted to go but figured I wouldn't wind up going. I'm glad I went I had a good time. For those who have never seen them I don't know how to explain it really but I'll try. First of all they are a Burlesque Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlesque . To me it isn't about stripping or at least it wasn't here, some acts combine the two. The show starts out kinda with this guy on New Years eve changing Channels some of the stuff on TV is pretty funny, a lot of the show, Some stuff was mocking ads and some of it was local NYE stuff at Roxy's the girl in the bathroom was pretty good. The over all concept is that when midnight strikes the guy loses his TV signal because everything goes digital and then he wakes up and is a a Burlesque show. Then they go into a bunch of Different Burlesque acts. Those where all pretty good also (maybe someone else who saw it like Heidi will post so you get a better idea about it). I won't give the end away but it ends good and everyone has had a great time and the cast comes out (did I mention that in some skits they don't wear very much clothing, oh yeah) and bow (some hot talented performers I must add). As the credits role the performers sit on the stage and watch (so do the viewers) some out takes from the videos they shot that was pretty interesting as well. It was a great time and so worth the money, I would advise you all to go see it. The theatre was tough to find but only because I got there a few minutes before the sign was posted. The Alt thearte is a small theatre on the 3rd floor of that huge great arrow building near Hertel and also near Amherst going between Elmwood and Delaware. They have nice wooden seats and then tables on both sides of the stage, Not ready to be at one of those tables but maybe some day. I think I covered what I could really.
Later that night on one of the showtime stations I watched some comedy that I think was from a series a couple years ago called White Boyz in the hood. One show had 3 people on all of whom was pretty funny I thought. Then the second show was a clip show where they showed Jokes based on what the topic was. That show was funny but some of the clips showed jokes I just heard on the previous show. Some of the people I had never heard of and some I had and thought where pretty good like Rich Vos and this lady who I can't remember something like carny colanie or something like that she was very funny.
Next up was Mallrats. I admit It has been a long time since I have seen this movie. I know a lot of Kevin Smith fans didn't like this movie, then you have people who hate Shannon Daughtry. I admit that fact that it had Stan Lee was pretty cool and there are some pretty cool parts in it, the funny part is that I went to the mall today, ok maybe ironic. I don't know this movie just wasn't really funny. That being said Joey Lauren Adams (hot girl and great actress that scene in the rain in chasing Amy should have won an Oscar) is all ways a good part of the movie oh yeah and you get to see her boobs so that is an added bonus. So that was my night of comedy.
