Have I become such a discriminating comedy nerd that I can laugh like an idiot for an hour at Jimmy Pardo at Crackers, a club I hate, then four days later, find myself wanting to leave Michael Ian Black’s show early at my favorite club in the world? It was just lazy comedy from someone I otherwise adore. Stand-up isn’t necessarily his wheelhouse, I suppose, but I’m disappointed just the same. The crowd ate it up, though, and I’m happy for The Comedy Attic for having a sold-out weekend. Crowds like this should be there every weekend, because Jared and Dayna do it right. There’s something to this that probably requires exploration. Stay tuned.
