| - Took my wife and nephew here on a sunday night. The show started at 5:30 which I thought was a weird start time for an adult comedy show. Located on the mezzanine (second floor) of the casino inside Planet Hollywood, you can easily get lost if you have never been to this venue. Just ask any employee that works there and they will direct you accordingly. They have signs telling you where it is but they are not in plain obvious locations for you to see easily. They have several rows of seats with tables and the stage itself is elevated so you have a good view wherever you sit in the theater.
The first 10 minutes started off with a comedian to "lighten the mood". Dude was ok. He made up songs with his guitar and some one liners were kind of funny. Then came out a blond, voluptuous lady who was the DJ for the night and her name just happened to be DJ Double D (No, I am not making this up). Along with her was a guy who was the stagehand and secondary DJ by the name of Sugar Melt, who actually sang a song in the middle of the show to give Coop a break. And yes, this dude can actually sing.
As for Coop himself, he really is the star of the show. What this guy does is truly amazing. He impersonates various celebrities complete with fake hair, attire, facial expressions, body movements, and yes most importantly the voices. He does a solid job of pretending to be well known performers over a broad range of genres like James Brown, Tom Jones, Sammy Davis Jr, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Cher, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, R Kelly, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Tupac, Notorious BIG, and Eminem. These are just from what I recall from that night. Im sure he could of easily done more. He even did an impression of an Indian guy with the facial expression and everything. Hilarious!
Performing with him on some songs were some long legged scantily clad sexy dancers. I mean, what's an adult show without any sexual inuendos obvious or not? I wasn't offended at all. I thought it was a nice change of pace.
For you drinkers, yes, they have a server walking around taking drink orders so get your drink on and don't forget to take care of your server who takes care of you!
In closing, I would recommend seeing this show. I like the fact that he has the audience participate by asking questions and even accepting suggestions on who to impersonate, which he tried to accommodate. Once I saw how hard this guy works at his craft, watching this show again is a no brainer.
