I have read other reviews which lambaste the performance of D.L. Hughley's performance for being overworked, I tend to agree, but there were too many real laughs from the audience to dismiss the power of his delivery. D.L., while not my fave comedian, knows how to work a crowd. Also in contrast to other reviews, I found Arnez J to be incredibly funny, tho the shaky voice tends to foreshadow a punchline and sap some of his jokes of their potential force. I liked his material and delivery better than earthquake's performance, which tended to be breathy and too slick. Listening to earthquake tell a joke is like being in a men's room with too many people. too much of everything to be good. I do agree with the opinion of many about melanie camacho, she is a weak performer who seems to be in the wrong room every time I see her. antiquated funnies about penis size, cheating spouses and money being tight for a single gal all are tremendously overworked and tired. sorry, Mel. go home. NOW, LaVelle Crawford, an underdog performer in my book, came in strong and left under thunderous applause for a reason. if an excellent performance is a shotgun blast of fun, LaVelle was a Howitzer. He drew his power from audience reaction and seemed, even when he stumbled on his words a few times, to deliver pinpoint precision 'smartbombs' of comedy. I will def be seeing him again. If a box says Lavelle Crawford, I will overdraw my account to buy it-no questions asked. overall, a slow starter with a mother-of-all-belly laughs for an ending.
