This Show will never be forgotten! Awful seating!!
Amazing show. Funny and smart. And the venue was beautiful.
Dick Gregory as a surprise guest was a treat! Enjoyed Mr. Mooney's very direct humor. Show may not be for everyone. Enjoyed it though.
Mooney still has it...Raw, relentless, and uncencenored. Never have I seen a crowed so shocked...I loved it! I would highly recommend to black fans of comedy..If you are white, I'll only say say..stay out his line of sight!
Very disappointed. It seemed more about him making statements about white versus black than comedy. Which I get is his style and is funny when he is on TV but did not translate well in person. At one point, he pointed me out because I was with a white man. Not an issue as I am used to it and find it funny but I almost felt as if he was personally attacking me. Overall, not a good show and will not see him again. We did not really laugh and at one point my friend just took out her phone and started texting. He was much better on the Chappelle show.
Great comedian with social commentary. Will pay top dollar to see him again.
Punchline venue was great and the comedians were on point. Paul Mooney was hilarious!! The very best at speaking the truth and making it funny. The service was good, drinks were nice. Only objection I would have is the food quality was a bit mediocre.
The Cobb Energy Center was a gorgeous place to enjoy a comedy night with Mr. Mooney and the other comedians (i.e. Ricky Smiley, etc.). I thoroughly enjoyed myself and constantly and consistently was in stitches with laughter. I have several Mooney DVDs, but it pales in comparison seeing him LIVE! Very thankful for the opportunity.
I can now mark an item off of my bucket list! I have seen a legend in his act.
He gave a 2 hour performance that was so over the top. Great release after a long week.
Enjoyed the show....did not enjoy the heckler in the audience. Security should have escorted the heckler out of the building. Couldn't enjoy the show as much. Also, 1st time at the Cobb Energy Center...was disappointed with the restrooms. You can tell the restrooms had not been cleaned since the last event, and this was before the show. Back to Paul...one thing that I would suggest is that Paul updates his jokes. Most of jokes can be seen and heard on YouTube.
Opening acts were AMAZING. Mooney literally brought the house down with laughter for two straight hours. My jaw is sore because I laughed so hard and so much! Wouldn't want to miss him if he came through again!!!
Paul Mooney's performance was unforgettable. His unique brand of pro-black social, political, and historical humor is not for the faint of heart. He delivered a hilarious string of stories and observations about race in America that made me think and laugh at the same time. I loved it and would not hesitate to see him again.
I like insult comedians. I find humor in their jokes and campiness. Paul Mooney, I consider to be an insult comic. And I do find him funny. I've seen him on TV and decided to see him live. The 2 opening comedian acts were really funny and diverse. Mr Mooney however, insulted white people for close to 2 hours. I found it funny at first, but he rarely veared away from his focus on how white people did and still do black people wrong. Unlike comedian Lisa Lampanelli, who uses diversity in her insults and actually picks all types of ethnic people from the crowd, including herself, she's more camp and less dictative with her approach. With her, it's all good and all funny. No one race of people feel discriminated against or left out for that matter. It's jokes and stereotypes as opposed to a lecture which, at times, I felt Mr. Mooney was doing. At times during Paul's show, me and my friend felt uncomfortable. There was a (black) couple next to us who would glance over every now and then to see our reaction. They even felt uncomforatble for us. I would recomment this to friends, but with a fair warning of the majority of the content.
I would definitely recommed this show! He and the other comics were wonderful!
Not only was Paul Mooney superb, as usual, but Tony T., Pierre and Rick Smiley were Hee-Larious!!!! Great show!!!!!!!!
I liked the comedy show, it was funny and Paul Moone was very real. He made jokes that made you laugh as well as think. I would recommend this show to a friend. One thing was that he could have ended it by maybe 45 minutes it was a little long but he was taping a show so that is probably why it was so long. Also, the comedians before him were also very talented which included Rickey Smiley and Guy Torry. Overall, the show was funny and I would see it again.
ALL OF THE COMEDIANS WERE FUNNY!!!! I LAUGHED FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SHOWS I'VE BEEN TOO!
Paul Mooney's incisive comments on issues, events and people was at times outrageously funny, painfully true and flat-out brilliant. The pleasure of watching a legend at work was all mine.
Great opening acts and great set from Paul Mooney. Show went long but was absolutely funny. What a great experience to see a comedy legend go off for nearly 2-hours on current events/culture while pulling no punches...hard hitting show indeed...GREAT TIME!!! Come back to Atlanta ANY TIME Mr. Mooney!!!
