Dave Attell Pittsburgh reviews
great show. however...
I've been a big fan of Dave for a long time, he and the other comics did not disappoint! However, they were only on stage for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. Dave was coughing and clearing his throat a lot, to the point where he said "that one was my COPD." I do believe he really is sick and has COPD due to his excessive smoking before he quit. I was expecting him to be on stage for at least an hour, but after about 25 minutes of his solo act the other 2 comics joined him onstage for an insult session similar to his show "Bumping Mikes." all in all I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, I just wish he was able to perform longer, and if he indeed is sick I wish him a speedy recovery.
Super disappointed
Wow what a bad show. All around just a stinker. The openers were better than Dave Attell and for the most part, they were not worth seeing. Louis Katz (SP?) was the best part of the show. He was one of the openers and his comedy was sharp and well delivered. It seems as if Dave was just completely wasted from earlier in the night. They opened the doors over an hour late leaving everyone wrapped around the block outside with the temperature in the 30’s. This seems to be because Dave was too wasted that they were trying to have him sober up. Not sure if this is the case but he was…inebriated. When they brought him out on stage he had a hard time walking to the stool and spilled his drink multiple times getting there. His delivery was OK but you could tell his brain wasn’t firing 100% and the show was the caliber that it should have been. Having a rough show he tried to bring the openers back out in the end. He attempted to kind of have a “bumping mic’s” feel where they zinged each other but it just wasn’t good. The other comedians were not of a caliber that the riffing back and forth worked or built up. Again, Louis Katz, was the only one being funny insulting Dave during this time. I wish I hadn’t had gone to the show even if that meant buying tickets and eating the cost. It was truly terrible.
