LAVELL DID HIS THING AS ALWAYS!! EVEN THOUGH THE SHOW STARTED A HOUR LATE AND THE VENUE WAS SMALL, OLD AND LOOKED AS IT IF HADNT BEEN CLEAN IN A WHILE. BUT LAVELL MADE US FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT!!!!
The show was great. It was really funny. The show was however suppose to start at 7pm but didn't start until 8:45pm.
The Lavell Crawford was great the only thing that I was disappointed about is that it started about a hour and half late. When the host got out on the stage there wasn't even an apologize. I suspect that they lied about the time in order for everyone to be there when the show started. Other than that he was very funny and I recommend that everyone sees Lavell live stand up.
Lavell will go down in history as one of the funniest men in the business and I mean not just in St Louis but all over the world
This was a good show. I laughed really hard. The taping made it long but it was worth it to support a native of St. Louis. Thanks Lavell. We luv you in St. Louis.
Lavell was awesome as expected! He delivered until late into the evening. Dominique was hilarious too. The Uptown was freakin HOT that night. Need to fix the A/C. I have seen many shows there and never had this problem before.
joe claire was a crack-up. very funny performance--monique was exceptional as well, but lavelle was the man as always keeping the crowd in an uproar. i thought he might use a lot of his old material but not true. he was amazing as he presented a lot of new material that i had not heard. simply amazingly funny. only drawback was the theater was exceptionally hot.
Saw Lavelle in ATL on 2/13/10 with Earthquake and Arnez J. Lavelle was the star of the show and had everyone falling out their seats. I have been liking Lavelle since the Comic View days and am very happy I made it to this show.
