| - I was very dissappointed and disgusted. We saw the Comedy "On the Fly" show, which consisted of around 7-8 comedians coming up to the stage and do their own act. I think they should have had some warnings (or some sort of PG rate) about strong language and sexually explicit content. They all seem to be incapable of cracking a joke without being sexually graphic or swearing/cursing at a volume level that was leaving me deaf. And there were people under 18 in the audience, and they knew it! (they asked). The presenters didn't care even after knowing that fact.
There was one exception, and I think he was really funny. He didn't even mention sex at all! He did some jokes about his life as a model, and he was a great Obama impersonator. I have to recognize that the host (Filipino comedian) was doing a decent job too, he tried to make a balance between sexual and non-sexual jokes. But the rest was awful. To make matters worse, the theater had some audio issues, the volume was so loud (or I guess the comedians only knew to yell instead of talk), that I was really afraid that my eardrum would break.
I have been in Second City before, and well, saw some stand up comedies on TV; and this show was not funny, it was offensive. And I know that all these comedy shows at some point or another have some sexual content, but they were never that blatantly direct! And I think it would be funnier if you just hint at it, not go on and describe the sexual act in itself. I felt I was listening to porn audio the whole night. Good that I didn't go in a date or brought any kids, that would have been horrible!
About food, it was ok, but the nachos were very cold, and sitting is very uncomfortable as the venue is very small and crowded.
