Whitney was her usual beautiful, funny self! She is charming and interacts with the audience, however it seemed like she ran out of material and I was really looking forward to hearing something new. I'm a huge fan of Whitney and I'm glad I got to see her live though. Looking forward to the new season of "Whitney". Oh, and Julian (her opener) was also hilarious!
SHE SUCKED!!!! Use to be very funny, every since she got her own tv show she sucks!!! NOT FUNNY ANYMORE !!!!! SHE SUCKED !!!!
It was obvious from the start that Whitney had not prepared for this show. She had written nothing. She brought out "notes" that she never used. She repeated looked at her phone to see how much time was left and kept saying "oh god this is going to be bad." She spent 10 minutes trying to call her co-star from her show to kill time. It was totally unprofessional. Im glad half the people walked out before it was over, I wish I did.
Whitney was extremely unprofessional. She was self admittedly unprepared and on medication from the stress of her TV shows. She wasn't even as funny as her opening act. I have seen dozens of comedians preform both in theatres and large arenas and in comedy clubs. Her act was nothing special and even included dead air and horrendous audience interaction. Unless she dramatically changes her act I will never see her again.
Her shows on TV are amazing, but apparently she was too busy to come up with enough material to fill her time slot. She pretty much stopped telling jokes with 45 minutes left and just randomly talked to people and texted "Alex" from the show.
We love her sitcom and we've seen her roast many celebrities so we decided to go and see her perform live. What a surprise!!! Her show sucked. She spent more time talking to the audience and gave the hecklers too much attention.
Her stand up was very disappointing. It was apparent that she did not take the time to prepare her routine. She thought she could step in and do it off-the-cuff but flopped terribly.
This was the worse show i have ever seen and have gone to many stand up performances. there actually was NO SHOW. She did no material and was not funny. Not sure if she thought just because she is whitney cummings we would be ok with it, but honestly she lost two fans (actually many more as the conversations were all dissapointment) . Many even left the show early and for me it also ruined what was supposed to be a great mothers day treat for my wife.
Love her show, horrible at standup. Avoid at all costs!
Didn't really seem prepared. Couple funny moments, the opener was excellent.
I think Whitney was tired, or sick. Seemed she had a lot of material in her notebook, but kind of improvised. Didn't seem herself at all, but none the less still enjoyable.
Whitney was simply great. Her standup has always been hilarious. The greatest part about the show ties in with the worst part of the show. Everyone, for some reason, feels the need to shout out and heckle comedians. While there were plenty of "hecklers", Whitney was quick witted and threw it right back at them! When whitney came out and saw a 14 and 12 year old in the front row - reaction was priceless. Needless to say it's not a kid friendly event and how they got in for a "Mature Audiences" event WITHOUT parents is unknown. They were removed however within 10 minutes (side note: great parenting for those kids) Great show!
Whitney Cummings was terrible. All she talked about was her stupid show and dicks. Between dick jokes however, she made fun of people sitting in the front row, but that was it. It was like she didn't even care that everyone there paid 40 bucks to see her. I would never see her again.
The opening act was great really funny guy and loved what he was doing. He went on around 8:10 and was off stage by 8:30. Then Whitney came out. Let me preface by saying I enjoy her type of humor and work (Ralphie May is my favorite raunchy comic!) and had a good idea what to expect that night. Or so I thought. After about 2 minutes Whitney realized there were 2 children in the front row, just in front of us. She asked them a bunch of questions - 'how old are you' (12 & 14) 'where are your parents' (in the casino) and 'do you realize your childhood is about a messed up as mine?' She said the kids were dead to her and she was going to do her bit anyway - and then apologized for saying that. She tried to go on but you could tell she didn't know how to be funny when she had to be PG. She still 'went there' a couple times but had to restrain herself and it really messed up her flow. Eventually security remove the two kids. Clearly she was more comfortable when the kids were out of the theater. But she was still disorganized and scatter brained. Eventually she found out parents of Jen Kirkman (another stand-up) were in the row behind us. She had a good 10 minutes of conversation with them. Not really a funny conversation more of a 'oh ya we met you when...' and 'how is Jen doing' kind of things. Her bit was over by 9:35. That's right - the entire show was nearly 90 minutes long. I almost thought she was joking when she was saying goodnight. I paid how much for these tickets? While I enjoyed her being there she was far and away the worst show I've seen in a very long time. If not the worst ever. She kept saying 'oh this is a disaster' and the crowd laughed - perhaps because we all agreed? I've seen many shows at this theater in Foxwoods - none have been as short on time or comedy as this one. I really like Whitney but I wish I hadn't brought 3 others with me to see this show. If you want 'raunchy' humor AND a comic that will make sure you get your moneys worth then I STRONGLY recommend Raphie May next time he is in the area.
We went to the show at Foxwoods with a lot of expectation. The opening gig, Julian Mccollough, was good. He went over a wide range of subjects... standouts...his engagement, hollister and chinatown jokes. Little did we realize that he would be the standout... Whitney started off promptly by announcing that she had not done stand-up in a while and it showed. The show went downhill from there, frequent pointless interactions with the audience which looked like feeble ploys to buy more time, juvenile jokes, and it was a relief when the show ended. While I am sure that she is talented (Whitney, the show on NBC is good), the stand-up performance was shoddy. It was a first - the opening gig was way better than the main act!
I had no idea that this was going to be such a raunchy show. We had been to several other comedy shows at the same venue, and they were all really good. This show was promoted as just being funny, not dirty. I think 90% of what she talked about was filthy, disgusting, embarrassing, and not even clever - just shock value. We had great seats at least. But I wish the write up would have mentioned that it was XXX material. Got tired of hearing the F word and every joke was about some sexual perversion. No creativity.
We had tickets to her 7pm show and got there early for the sold out event. We sat in the venue for an hour and 30mins before the show started but as soon as the opening act hit the stage it was on. He warmed up the crowd for 20mins and Whitney came on. She didn't mind talking to the crowd and jokingly posing for pictures on stage before she got into the jokes. She really played to Detroits crowd and had both the women and men laughing at her material. It was my girlfriends first comedy show and Whitney has her hooked now. The tickets were $20 which was goof for someone who made a big name for herself recently this past year or two. EVERYONE go see Whitney if you have the chance
Best night of comedy I've had in a long time. Her material is hilarious. Her timing, mannerisms, everything about her presentation is supurb. She's a natural, amazing talent. Effortlessly funny. She seems like the kind of person whose career is going to skyrocket and you'll be bragging that you saw her live at some small venue.
While whitney cummings was funny. i enjoyed her opening act much more. I am not an old prude, but I'm sorry there was just too much F this and F this to make this show enjoyable. She did a couple of funny stories and then half the show was spent interacting with the audience, which was not in the least bit funny. I assume she ran out of material to do for the amount of time she was up there, so was just trying to fill space till the show was over. It would be nice if the blue chip would also have a policy about leaving the show once its started. We were seated near the doors, and the constant traffic of people going in and out created such a draft that we thought we were going to freeze to death. The open doors created quite a wind tunnel and the people continually going in and out made it difficult to watch the show.
she was preaty good but the opening act was a riot!
