With his snappy jazz trio, his tiger-striped tuxedo, and his enormous microphone, lounge legend Richard Cheese presents the perfect mix of music, martini, and madcap. Viva Las Queso!
It was fun, funny and musically captivating. Everything you want in a show.
We got there by 7:30, and the show didn't even start till 10. The show organization was extremely poor.
I don’t care with the racial make-up of the audience was, as an African-American person, Richard Cheese’s explicit, repeated and frequent use of the “N” word was offensive and traumatic. I will never attend another one of his shows and I honestly regret choosing to go to this one
They played a wide variety of music. It was great. I laughed the whole time.
Richard Cheese was a night filled with music, comedy, and fun. Richard Cheese interacted with the crowd well and was something I have not seen an entertainer do this before. He even went up to the balcony to interact with the crowd and perform. He also gave out free items from his website, items like the "I Love Dick" thong and CD's. He played all the popular songs from his CD's. His ste was long, but enjoyable (Longer than I expected). He said he would like to come back in September. He is a true entertainer. His band was also awesome. They play together and off each other well. He is a must see and I will definatly see him again.
Very entertaining, it is a shame they won't be around much longer. RC said they would be back in Houston for one last show because our crowd was so awesome. I hope he lives up to that promise!
Was Hilarious!, loved it live, I'm doing the pit next time, not the balcony.
He was so funny, and had great stage-presence! I loved how much he involved the audience in the show, and he had music from a variety of genres. We had a blast! (Though I wouldn't recommend it for youngsters or those easily offended - it was definitely explicit.)
Excellent show - more sleazy than cheezy but enjoyed it
Richard Cheese put on a great show. Great musicians. Excellent showman. Very funny.
This was Richard Cheese's first Texas apperance and he did not disappoint!! I loved every minute of the event, and was not even bothered by staning the entire show. The show was great the jokes kept me laughing. My sides and cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling for 4 hours or so. It was great fun.
I attended Richard Cheese at the House of Blues Anaheim. The show was very good and quite entertaining...for adults. It was billed as an all ages show and, like an idiot, I brought two of my kids. That was a mistake. I spent the next week having talks with them I had hoped to put off until they started high school. Had the kids not been there, I would have given the show 5 stars. The crowd, for the most part, was filled with morally corrupted drunks, which are my kind of people. Highly recommended ADULT entertainment.
this gig was at the end of my 7 months travelling and was easily the highlight of the entire trip. Richards voice is fantastic and the band were brilliant. Very very funny.
Well, Dick used to swing hard, but his interest and enthusiasm definitely is gone. We saw him before the show and tried to say Hi, but he completely ignored us, and the show was flat, to say the least. There wasn't even a spot on him during the show. Thanks for the memories...
I really didn't know what to expect with Dick but he had a great show. His keyboardist Bobby is ridiculously good. Girls only in the front row. Highly recommended for a good laugh.
I went to this event with minimum expectations and was truly blown away. Richard Cheese and his lounge band are absolutely hysterical! He is a great singer, comedian, and all around off-the-cuff entertainer. They loved the crowd and the crowd loved them back.
I laughed so hard my face still hurt the next morning.
Great Entertainers - - ....NEVER A DULL MOMENT - highly interactive with the crowd! Far exceeded expectations for fun! Richard Cheese is the best!!!! The whole band is so talented!!! Laughed our butts off!!
Dick was hilarious from the beginning to the end! Great comic originality and crowd rapport! Definitely worth seeing. Next time he is in town I am dragging a big group of friends to the show!
This was the third time I've seen Richard Cheese, and by far the best. The Music Hall of Williamsburg is now my favorite music venue in the city. At first I was really bummed because it was a seated concert - first come, first serve as far as where you got to sit. But since the venue is so small, even at the very back, I was closer than being in the middle of most of the other floors around town. The show itself was great. Richard Cheese was on last night. He did a lot of the same schtick I'd seen before, but he was much more involved with the audience and was hilarious with his quick banter. The dude is just funny. If you haven't seen them live, please do yourself a favor and go.
