Had the pleasure of seeing a real master of his craft. Chris Rock on his second date of his sold out UK tour. Unbelievable to think that someone of his stature hadnt toured in the UK before, but this was his first trip over the pond.
The Hammersmith apollo was a good choice of venue and it was packed, so packed people with circle seats chose to stand in the back of the stalls and get closer to the Rock.
We bailed on the support and entered a few minutes before he was due to come on. With little pomp he strolled on and then just started his routine...
He's an incredible talent and you get the feel that hes just telling jokes to a room full of his pals and he could have gone all night.
His subject matter was as you'd expect, politics, race, interacial relationships, sex, sports, the UK, the US, Bush etc - no one was safe!
He has a nack of timing and story telling thats probably un paralled and is one of the only comics that I'd make the effort and pay top money to see.
Standup comedy isnt really my thing, being sat next to people that laugh at EVERYTHING with no quality control filter can be annoying... and i must admit when it went past an hour i was ready to leave but i cant take anything away from the Rock - you should really take the chance to check him out whilst hes here.
An excellent show and a true all time great.
Go see Chris Rock today!
