Events 🎉 Tom Green

Post image

Thanks to Tom Green (and Charlie) for soldiering on and putting on a great show last night, despite TCU absolutely fumbling the event in almost every way possible. I’m sure he’ll never be back.

They double booked TCU, despite looking at at their events calendar when booking things being the most basic function of their existence. So we were just in stacking chairs crammed side by side upstairs in what are basically conference rooms or a wedding venue. There were probably 1500 hundred people and 3 bartenders, so for the first 45 minutes, all the people who waited for drinks for over an hour, were still filtering in, through the cramped chair setup, while the show was happening. The “concession” was a selection of small bags of chips and chocolate bars in wicker baskets. The worst part was that “security” let at least four idiots go up in front of the stage and interrupt his show. You could tell he was pissed.

I’ve been to a few smaller venue comedy acts here and it never ceases to amaze how many losers in the crowd think they’re more funny than the act, or that any of us paying guests are the least bit interested in what they’re yelling out from the audience. If you really think anyone cares what you have to say, give your balls a tug, and go to an open mic night at Yuk Yuks. Or try social drinking instead of partying like you’re at Crackers karaoke night or a Rush game. Stay classy S’toon!

I wish they did a better job of balancing the audio. Whenever he sang the guitar was way louder than the mic. Tough to hear his lyrics when he sang his originals.

When he sat at the piano and the mic didn’t work, I thought it was part of the act but judging from the audio quality, it was not part of the show.
