Dave Mordal Concert

Jun

2004

I attended the Dave Mordal show at the Pantages theater in downtown
Minneapolis Saturday night. It turns out that the 2 shows that night were
being recorded to be turned into a comedy album. So, those of you who have
been wanting to see/hear Dave more may get your chance in the near future
on CD. As Dave put it, he can now disappoint people by mail.

The show itself was pretty good. 2 opening acts. I liked both, my wife
didn't like the 2nd act. Overall, a pretty good set, including some stuff
I'm pretty sure he made up on the spot. Occasionally, there were pauses
that were a little too long as he tried to remember what he was going to
say next, but it still turned out to be a good show.

    Why do all woman comics have to be dogs.
    I want my money back from the show.

    And why do men like you have to have the ability to vocalize? Maybe you should have taken your money the few blocks north that would have landed you in the sleazy strip clubs on Hennepin instead of paying to laugh. Apparently you missed the point of a comedy show.

    I heard darlene westlogs radio show, and i'm so
    offended she has to act interested around what
    she calls normal people. What an unfunny
    loser.

    I'm often surprised at the way that the cult of personality has permeated our culture. People seem to not only want to enjoy the work that someone does, but expect to like them as people as well. We expect to be enthralled by biographies of entertainers and artists. The thing is, that it's not that way in real life, so I don't know why we expect it to be that way with people in other walks of life. I mean, I've worked with my fair share of people who do their jobs extremely well, but aren't welcome in my home or at any event I run. So, with comics (their job being to get on stage and make people laugh), that's about all I judge them on. Do I agree with Dave Mordal politically? No. Did that stop me from thoroughly enjoying myself at the concert? Absolutely not.

    The act was so good. I enjoyed it so much. The opening acts
    were laugh you ____ off funny. Who are those people, and
    will they be on Dave Mordal's CD.

    We seen Dave at Acme on Saturday night. Absolutely, awesome job! He was my favorite on Last Comic Standing and remains as such! My son never seen him before, but loved his quick wit. Some may have been offended, but hey deal with it! Dave we need a CD!
