Hooked on Eddie
by Cassiethemom on 1/9/10United Center - ChicagoI was so happy Eddie made it through the snow because he was so worth the ticket price. He does not do requests "I am not a jukebox" which is a good thing because almost every moment of the show was new material to me. I've seen all his DVDs and although this probably wasn't as polished as his DVDs, it was really really great! Eddie is not known for knowing exactly what he is saying next and that is such a gift. He is incredibly intelligent and his comic timing is incredible. If you have never seen him, he uses history and religion as the basis of most of his comedy, rather than "observation" as the basis. He uses the Fbomb as an adjective, but he is not foul or offensive. (as long as you don't mind the language). I happen to LOVE it as I think swearing is funny and he does it so well. His body language & expressions on his face are essential to his comedy and he is incredibly skilled at using them. It was electric to be in the live audience and the energy was great.
