| - I never like it when someone prefaces their show with a slideshow of themselves with various celebrities. Why are you trying to impress me, right? But I'm "from Vegas" and jaded. But also, this was absolutely not the venue for him at all whatsoever. But that's fine since his last show at the Tropicana is going to be October 31st.
I wasn't entirely impressed with this show. It wasn't awful, but, again, I believe Murray is meant to be a stage show...with smoke and lasers and lights n stuff, but, first of all, there were figuratively 4 of us in the audience (literally 25, maybe), and we were SO close I decided to designate myself the person to wipe the sweat off Murray's brow as he passed by me to get offstage. We were close enough to make intimate decisions like that for this hour. There's a quiet sidekick to this show, Lefty, who I could where his card was for card vanish. Granted, I dated a magician years ago, plus I'm older than 12, so I know how the trick is done, but..still.. ya know? Lefty was really cute though, and he is a talented card magician as well.
What also irked me about Murray was the way he kinda mumbled through his lines then "making fun" of us for not getting it. It was only 7, so I hadn't drank much, and by the time I figured out he had made a joke at all, he was running over it with his follow up, but quite frankly, his jokes weren't particularly funny anyway. (but, again, Vegas and jaded.)
I will absolutely 100% see Murray wherever he goes next because I'm certain it will be better. I'm certain he'll have a stage appropriate for his show. And I'm certain he'll have renewed passion for the show because when I saw him this weekend, he was totally checked out.
Oh, and his lady assistant was beautiful and talented as well.
Good luck, Murray! We'll see you again!
