I Was at the First Amy Schumer Show Saturday Night – I Was Shocked!
I was lucky and got to see the quickly sold out 7:30pm show Saturday night to the very hot Amy Schumer. When it was over -- well, I couldn't believe it.
The show was packed full to capacity! When Amy took the stage, it was electric! We were all so happy to see her.
She was very funny -- but seemed off. She was thrown-off easily, didn't finish some stories and overall seemed distracted. I thought she was super-tired or drunk or on something. But I did laugh ... I just didn't laugh long enough.
The show ended at 8:36pm. I know, I looked at my phone. I looked because I thought, "That's it?"
In fact, I turned and asked someone if comedians were like bands and if you clap really loudly they come out and do an encore, because the lights didn't come on. Obviously, the light guy thought the show was going to be longer too!
Then the lights came on, and yup -- it was over.
The first thing I thought: "Thank God I got a free ticket!" The second thing I thought was: "Man, if I paid, I'd be pissed."
I have read all about the venue needing time to set up for the second show. In fact, I've read all sorts of things -- but I'll tell you, we are all busy, and frankly, we are all broke. To spend good money on tickets, parking, maybe babysitters, dinner and to have a half-hour to 40-minute show?
I think everyone has the right to be upset by this one...
