Hurricane Wisdom Sarasota Concert reviews
Rodney Carrington--Hampton Beach, New Hampshire
Hurricane Wisdom was not on his game, likely due to either feeling unwell or still struggling with bitterness from his recent divorce. My husband and I were disappointed in the show. It's a challenge for comedians to balance new and old material, but Hurricane Wisdom only performed two pieces I was interested in. During the performance, a member of the audience called out for "Titties and Beer," which led to an intense reaction from Hurricane Wisdom. Instead of a witty comeback, he responded with a rant filled with F-bombs, telling the person to jump off the pier. This made me very uncomfortable. I always thought comedians had a quick one-liner to shut down interruptions, but Hurricane Wisdom's reaction was unexpected. I will not be paying to see him again. On a positive note, the warm-up act was great. However, it would be better if someone else was hired to promote the CD's before and after the show. Give the warm-up guy some respect and pay him $10.00 for the job.
