What a difference a week makes. Y’all spent all y’all tax money up already? Because aside from the woman with the bosoms of steel brassiere, the folks who bothered showing up for the Center Stage Comedy Tour dressed like they said, “look, I just clocked out and I want to hear some jokes. They’re not comin’ to see me anyway.” I can count on one hand the amount of times where I’ve gone to a comedy show and open-casket-sharp wasn’t the standard required attire for a comedy show from the majority of the audience. Well, this was one of those times. At least the poor thing wearing her waist trainer on the outside of her clothes tried. Luckily for y’all, Sommore made up for the “regularness” that permeated the crowd as far as the clothes choices go. She had me on the floor when she said, “I got on church accessories, club clothes and streetwalker [edited to make safe for Partyline] shoes. Y’all don’t know whether I’m gonna praise dance or pop it [also edited to make safe for Partyline].” And if I brought a sickening fur bolero as a part of my outfit, I would have sweated my face off to make sure everybody saw it too! As usual, she had me howling, especially when she said Trump is acting out because he’s petty – and he’ll be tired of being president by the fourth of July. Let’s hope so. Unfortunately, the laughs stopped at Sommore for me for the most part. Now I did catch plenty of cackles from Darius Bradford – who opened the show. He’s been giving me life as of late. But the other acts decided to dust off their Def Comedy Jam performances and call it a day. I take that back, I did laugh at Tommy Davidson. Even though I know his jokes were recycled, I was just so glad to see him that I chuckled anyway. John Witherspoon and Arnez J did the exact same show I saw from them the last time – and it was way too soon for a repeat. I didn’t hate the show. But it was like one of those Def Jam episodes that you tolerate, but isn’t your favorite by any stretch.
