| - I'm so confused by the glowing reviews. I'm in my mid-30's, and I was one of the youngest people there. I knew ALL the songs he sang, as I like all generations of music, but he wasn't that impressive. I saw Danny Gans a few years ago before his passing (so sad), and he was amazing. I was hoping for similar in Gordie, but nope. He was trying to be funny, but it usually wasn't. Sometimes he was mildly raunchy, and I don't really mind raunchy, if it's funny. But un-funny raunchy is just lame. Btw, only a few people in the theater were laughing, so it made it even more awkward. A couple of old people were laughing, and a couple of rednecks. After that, it was crickets. Maybe it was an off-night, I don't know. I'm sure it's a tough gig, so I feel bad being critical, but yelp needs honesty to work.
I did like the John Mayer impersonation, as I will always laugh if you make fun of John Mayer since I think he's an arrogant ___. Also liked some political impersonations. But the re-wording of a lot of lyrics... well, again, they just weren't funny. I can name about 76 shows you should see ahead of this one in Vegas.
