This past weekend Palantir was gracious enough to get everyone tickets to the Russell Peters show at The Improv in San Jose.
If you don’t know who he is, stop reading now and watch this.
Generally the comedians get better as the night goes on and in this case the opening comedians did a pretty good job warming us up with the exception of one of them. I’m not sure if it just wasn’t his night or what. His timing or pacing just wasn’t very on and he kept pushing his HBO comedy show that was going to be on after the Superbowl. He had his moments, but I think everyone was ready to move on to the main event.
I suggest you all go watch Russell live if you ever get a chance. It was obvious the guy was comfortable up there and he was really great at involving the audience and working those elements into his act. He still does a lot of the jokes centering around racial stereotypes, but this time he’s working in other things involving disabilities as well. I understand that saying it like that is probably making most of you guys go “WTF? That’s wrong man!” Well too bad I don’t really do it justice so just go watch it sometime. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.
Yeah, dude, you were totally cracking up the whole time. I thought the Filipino guy was hilarious.
