We enjoyed it so very much. Eddie Griffin always brings his A game. Comedy and truth at its best.
The opening act HULK was not funny. Eddie started off funny but seemed to have lost it at the end. He started a skit about dead comedians in heaven but then started singing/impersonating both living and dead singers. Mid song he just said good people go home or I’ll sing all night. It started off as a comedy show and ended as a bad karaoke night
Still raw Still unapologetic Thank you Eddie for never changing on us.
Finally got to see Eddie Griffin, the performance was A+ definitely got my monies worth. I hope next year Eddie Griffin comes back to NJ.
Opening act the Hulk was entertaining and nice transition to Eddie Griffin. Eddie Griffin is a legend and show was very entertaining. Good vibes.
The Eddie Griffin who I remembered is funny. This version of him and this brand of comedy is not who I remember and definitely not a show I would willingly pay to see. We enjoyed the opening act more than him. I had no intentions of going to a political rally, or so hearing so many jokes about COVID, and masks that just weren’t funny. There was more spoken feedback during his set than laughter. We left early. Maybe he was never funny, we just remembered him as a funny character he played. Idk. Save your money! I wish I could get a refund! The venue left a lot to be desired as well. It felt dirty, but maybe it was just old.
Went to see Eddie Griffin in Montclair...it was a bday celebration.. Thoroughly enjoyed myself..it was a girls night out.. Eddie Griffin is a beast in his field....supa funny......👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The show was not good at all. I love Eddie Griffin and seen him a few times before. This show was not it. I left early.
Started late and ended early. He was funny but his set was like 45 minutes.
First of all the show started late. Opener was really funny. He Did 30 minutes of jokes and had everyone rolling. Eddie came on and did 40 minutes at best. Half his jokes were ones he told already. He ended the show abruptly and walked off stage. Normally a headliner would do an hour at the least. Whole show lasted 1hr 10mins TOPS. We Paid for 2tix and parking. It took us longer to get there and get ready than the show lasted. Was not worth the money or time.
Amazing show, bravo👏. Mr. Griffin is a great performer and well worth the time and money 💰. We will see his performance again.
Great Show! One of my favorite comedians and He didn’t disappoint! Eddie brought the fire!!!
Funny show new material just a little short but hella funny
Enjoyable, I was not disappointed. This was my first time seeing Eddie Griffin, and if he would return back you baltimore or near, I would definitely go back to see him.
Eddie's show was awesome. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was a plus that it was his anniversary of the first time he did stand up over 43 years ago.
Funny as hell, never disappoints when it comes to bringing the laughter!!!
We really enjoyed the show! We laughed non-stop!! He speaks lots of truths that our society cannot handle or doesn’t want to accept!! Bring him back with recording of it for film!!!
This was my very 1st comedy show and I loved every bit of it. I watched all of Eddie Griffins specials but to see him live was an awesome experience. Yo he is still funny and even funnier now! Huge fan of his. I also want to shout out his boy Hulk yo he was hilarious too. Definitely going to attend another show. Actually just purchased another show!
Eddie Griffin Is Still HILARIOUS...One Of My FAVORITE Comedians!!!!!!
