I also liked Steven Wright, but you really have to like dry humor to enjoy him. We were also lucky to have been able to see George Carlin about 20 years ago (the night after we were married in fact). He was great-if you like sarcasm, which I hate to admit, I do.
    I remember seeing George Carlin on TV when I was a girl (who knows what show??) when he did his weatherman routine, and thinking then how hilarious he was! I also saw him live maybe 15 years ago, and loved it. Not only sarcasm, but intelligent humor...that's what I loved about his comedy. That baseball/football routine--what a classic!

    Other than that, the only other famous comic I saw live was Eddie Murphy in 1986, so he was pretty much in his prime. The only problem was that I was a senior vet student on a busy equine rotation that summer-- where we were on call all night, as well as in clinics during the day. I have never been so tired in all of my life! I had the distinction of falling asleep at many an event that summer. Once I fell asleep standing up, leaning against one of the hospital's horse pens, as the clinician and resident were showing my group of senior students how to do some important procedure--NOT a good thing to do!! Anyway, back to Eddie Murphy, known for his obscenity-laden live shows...all I can say is I was probably the only one in the entire audience who snoozed through a good portion of the show! My boyfriend at the time, a younger and well-rested vet student, was unsuccessful in reviving me...but at least did not hold that against me. (He knew he would be suffering the same fate the next year.) So, I have no review to offer of Eddie's brand of comedy...but I bet I liked George Carlin better!

    I LOVED George Carlin's Hippy Dippy weather man
    "The weather at the airport tomorrow (which is really stupid cuz I dont know anybody who lives at the airport) will be dark, followed by widely scattered light in the morning."
    My brother and I had his entire routine memorized, along with Cheech and Chong's Big Bamboo.
    I loved Sister Mary Elephant and Sargent Stedenko and the whole "Dave" routine. I knew em all by heart.
    My sense of humor tends to run to the irreverent (but not filthy) now days. Sarah Silverman kills me, but I used to have a random punchline generator on my web page a long time ago with Steven Wright quote. I loved the one where he named his Dog "Stay" and drove him crazy. "Come Stay! Fetch Stay!" hehehe

    Ticky, that was it! I was trying to remember the part about the weather tonight being dark, etc...but I couldn't recall enough of it to write it down (remember, I was quite young when I saw this on TV). Thanks for reminding me! I thought that was soooo hilarious, and I'm sure still would! I'll have to try to find some of his stuff...I know he has lots of albums.

    Carrot Top is pretty funny. I've only seen a little bit of his stuff on tv. I think he'd be a great to see live. Ron White is coming to the casino that I work at. I hope i'll get to see him when he comes here.
    I just realized something...you work in Vegas, or does Oklahoma have casinos? (Forgive my ignorance.) That would be great to take in the entertainment there, but I assume it's on your day off!

    Oklahoma has LOTS of casinos. They are all Indian casinos. Some are small but the one I work for is one of the biggest in Oklahoma. I really like working in a casino. I get to see so many different people (and some of the same people that are hard-core gamblers and we consider them to be regulars). I don't get to play where I work but i gamble every once in a while at other casinos. I've never been to Vegas but i would love to go some day.

    Learn something new every day! All this time I assumed you worked in Vegas! And then, when you started posting in the Sporting threads about the Sooners, I realized you were from OK...but then it still took me awhile to put two and two together. There's a Casino in Conn. that's run by Native Americans, I assume on a reservation but I'm not sure. I've never been there, nor to Atlantic City (surprisingly on the latter); but I have been to Vegas--an adult fantasyland, for sure...it's surreal! I'm not a gambler, but it's amazing to just see the casinos!

    It's okay EV, I won't hold it against you lol. I've actually lived in Oklahoma all my life.

    I'm not sure about the indian casinos in other states but here in Oklahoma the casinos are built on tribal land or at least within a certain county of the tribe and not necessarily on a reservation, although some are on a reservation. One of the tribes I belong to has a small casino on their reservation.

    I just noticed that you are from Central NJ. I am amazed you've never been to an Atlantic City Casino. Tiffanny Twisted and I have also been to Vegas. Neither one of us is a gambler but we sure did enjoy the shows. The Borgata has becoma a favorite of Tiffanny Twisted and me. It's not Vegas, but it is a great place to see a show. Until our next Vegas trip happens we try to get to a show at the Borgata at least a few times a year. I recommend you try it some time, I think you'll like it.

    I have never been to Atlantic City OR Vegas--two places I would love to visit! But definitely not to gamble, just to eat out, sight-see and take in some shows.


    BTW, the Bryan Adams concert was great—he opened with Run To You and ran through all his hits, and he talked & cut up with the crowd, very personable. His voice sounded exactly like it did in the 80s and 90s. The concert hall was a smaller venue so he really interacted with everyone. He even took out a digital camera and took pictures of the crowd taking pictures of him. At one point someone yelled “FREEBIRD!” like they always do at concerts and he actually played about two lines of it! Very funny.
