I admit that he takes some digressions and not every routine works but his Stripped tour show at Radio City last night was on the whole freakin' hilarious. I laughed so hard during the two hours of the show that I developed a serious cramp. There's just something about his delivery, facial expressions, voices and wandering ideas that just kills me.
Personal favorites from last night include a routine about a giraffe trying to alert another giraffe to an approaching tiger (which he admits comes from the wrong continent) when all giraffes can do is cough - so naturally they have to turn to charades. I also really enjoyed the ninja sheep who shave themselves with rusty razor blades to intimidate wolves and the misunderstood tenth commandment thou shall not cover thy neighbor's oxen (seriously, if you hide your neighbor's ox under a quilt you'll head straight to hell). Also, don't forget to check out Darwin's seminal work, "Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey You" - apparently it caused quite a stir in the monkey community.
Unfortunately his next two New York shows are sold out but see if he's coming somewhere else near you so you can catch this great show. Hopefully it will also come out on DVD - fingers crossed.
In the meantime, enjoy one of my favorite bits from the hilarious beyond compare Dressed to Kill:
