A Review

Last night we went to the Roxy to see Russell Brand perform his stand up comedy act. The show was pretty funny, except he talks REALLY fast and I had a hard time understanding some of the stuff he was saying. His accent is also pretty thick, so that didn't make it any easier. The show lasted almost 2 hours, which is long for a comedy show.

Anyway, after the show, we waited around to take a picture with him. He said that he would be back down in around 20 minutes. About 30 minutes later, he comes down and takes pictures with about 3 people who had been waiting and then goes off to the VIP section to schmooze with Courtney "I have had WAY too many facelifts" Love and the bigwigs who were sitting there. Now, he said he would be back "in a minute." Maybe 30 minutes later he finally came back out to the pee-ons and took more pictures and signed autographs. Now, am I nuts for thinking that this was a total dick move on his part? He seems like a nice guy, but you really shouldn't leave your fans standing around while you talk to people in the VIP section. It just didn't seem right. Well, after he finally came back out, I was the first person to get a picture with him and then we left. After all, we were exhausted. And since it was almost 11:00 p.m. and we both had to go to work this morning, it was time to leave.

All in all, the show was fun. However, someone should teach these people how to treat their fans. That's all I'm sayin. Below are some pictures I took. I'll even post one of Courtney Love (try not to puke).
