YYCOMEDY Gala Was Mediocre
by ComedyGeek on 2016-10-04Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryOverall a C+. The Kids in the Hall were boring. Their "skits" were amateurish; long and with little comedic value. How did those guys ever have a long running sitcom? Canadian content rules must have saved them... Most of the stand-up acts were enjoyable; Brent Butt, Steve Patterson and Ophira Eisenberg were quite funny with some new material and interesting observations. Sean Cullen was abstract and very loud. He tried hard to be an "improv" song master, but Wayne Grady is far superior. I would not pay $$ to see Sean Cullen perform. I will continue to support YYComedy. I do hope that next year's Gala will upgrade the talent.
