Saturday night was our third time seeing Chris Porter and once again he was fantastic!
The Emcee for the night – Marcus Howard – had some great bits about his day job as an elementary school teacher. Considering both the Mrs. and our daughter (who was there with us) are both elementary school teachers, that got a lot of laughs! He did a great job getting the crowd revved up and kept things rolling in a positive way.
The opening act was a guy we’ve never heard of, Kris Tinkle. This guy was hilarious! Seriously, we were cracking up through his entire set. I can’t imagine why he isn’t more well known. I’d happily go see him again.
Chris Porter killed as usual. A few of the bits were repeats from previous shows, nonetheless they were still dang funny and he kept the show flowing and had us in stitches the entire time.
I got a chance to meet Chris after the show, and he was so different than his stage persona. His act is very cynical and a bit angry – in a HILARIOUS way, mind you – but face to face he was so mild mannered and friendly, it was a bit of a surprise. I picked up a copy of his new record and he graciously offered to sign it for me, so I got a cool souvenir from the show on top of an aching gut from all the laughs!
All in all, it was another great night of hilarity. If you have a chance to see either of these comics, don’t miss it!
Thanks for stopping by!
