No wonder the EPC emailed an alert that they would refund tickets to those who had not understood what they were getting into and later decided not to attend. The auditorium had large empty areas, and I know why!
Chris Kattan was on stage about 15 minutes, and he did nothing. No routine, pretty lame. Oh a few off color jokes, but very disappointing.
Tim Meadows was better and on stage a bit longer, but he went on and on...and on about how he LOVES weed. Funny? Not very, but he did have a few good raunchy jokes when he noted there were no Brothers in the audience.
John Lovitz is the real, skilled comedian. His timing and delivery are perfect, but his material is offensive (to women, various races and ethnic groups...) and gross (his descriptions - the Octo-Mom, his penis... - are not funny, not amusing). His material is obscene, scatological and directed at immature, drunk guys. The only ones who roared with laughter were those who came in with a couple of beers in their hands. I guess one had to be drunk to appreciate the evening.
We had seen Redd Foxx live so we thought the anticipated raunchy routines would be OK. It was unbelievable. I think the EPC folks were dismayed and alarmed when they realized the kind of performance these three veterans of SNL would give. No wonder they offered to refund the cost of tickets to those who were smart enough not to attend.
