Darrell Hammond was just ok
by papa2fox8 on 10/3/11University At Buffalo Center for the Arts - BuffaloHammond was battling a runny nose and a cough all night and seemed to have little prepared for the show. He also slurred his words frequently and reminded me of a guy that has lead a sometimes difficult life, which I confirmed after doing a little homework. He was willing to go in any direction the audience wanted him to go. However, the audience was made up of a lot of college students who were still conceivably only in middle school during the height of Hammond's popularity. The venue was nice but half full at best. Having said all that, he's a good story-teller and performed for about an hour and 20 minutes. His dated political references were funny and impressions were great, but possibly lost on the younger audience members. It really wasn't worth the $50 per seat in the end.
