Hey Michael,

 

Some time ago, we talked about an new stand-up show by Andrew Clay, this controversial comic. Do you remember? Well i visited his show with a friend yesterday and were very disappointed. He was the first comedian two sell out Madison Square Garden too nights in a row. That’s fantastic, but he is over 50 now and I think he was funnier in his youth then he is now. I didn’t have an clue what he was gonna talk about in the show. He wasn’t really funny and only made the audience laugh a bit with his show. He was to predictable. He did not even involve the audience in his performances. He lacked any sense of humour. Than at some point, I even found him annoying. To cut a long story short I didn’t like his show and wouldn’t recommend it to you.

 

Cheers,

Ms. Howes
