I’ve never been to a real comedy show before. In college we had Steve Hofstetter come and do a set but that doesn’t really count. So I was really excited last night to go to the Wilbur Theater and see Aziz Ansari.
Brig actually saw him 2-3 years ago and got a picture with him after the show. One of the first things he said last night in his act is how he doesn’t do that anymore. He’s too big. Well, when you sell out 4 shows in Boston -- 2 last night and 2 more tonight -- then I have to agree.
He had all new material and most of it was right on target. It was sexual, it was familial, there was namedropping and there was hilarity. Still, to me, the funniest part was when he was talking to an audience member about how the guy proposed to his wife and was completely riffing off the guy’s answers. It was comedy perfection.
I give 2 big thumbs up and recommend going to a show if you can find any tickets. There’s just something about laughing with a big group of people that’s way better than watching Friday Night Stand-Up on Comedy Central.
