| - Without a doubt, the absolute worst Vegas show/comedian I have ever witnessed! Went to the show hearing that he is so fantastic like many of these reviews, but oh what a surprise. Seriously, not sure how he is employed...
Within the first 3- 5minutes of the show, I wasn't sure if his crappy impressions were a real attempt at humor or a bad Andy Kauffman like impression put-on. After 5 minutes it didn't get better and I was torn between being embarrassed for him or completely ticked that I actually paid to see the performance. His shiny white teeth contrasted nicely with his dark shirt with a hole in the armpit...nice touch Gordy.
Not funny... best joke of the night was him jokingly telling/thanking the weekend audience (90% over 50) that it was his 3162 consecutive sellout to a clearly at best half empty room. He blamed it on a fictitious foreign tour bus driver that must have mistakenly taken the rest of the crowd to the wrong hotel...the silver nugget instead of the golden nugget (rim-shot here). Oh God help me!
I am being serious here when I write all this...
I've heard better song impressions at the local karaoke bar and better joke telling in a 5th grade talent show... really! Not joking. As For being current... Jokes about Tatoo from fantasy island...really? The show has been off the air for 28 years and the actor who played "tatoo" has been dead for 19 years. Jokes about Sammy Davis with 1 eye...I get it he sees with one eye not 2. Sammy had a fake eye so he looks funny. Then we get into impressions from the blockbuster film we all know and love on golden pond...oh wait that was 31 years ago. When do we get to see Gordy do "the Fonz"? AAAAAAEEEEE!
I got up and left to take a leak during the set with hopes that he would try to embarrass me and ask where I was going. Funny thing is I wanted him too as I was ready with the comment have you seen your show... the only thing worse than the act is the overdone photoshop work on his marquee out front. Pretty scary when you are an introvert and want take on a seasoned comedian, but nothing about his act was witty, fun, or entertaining. I was with a big group, and so I did come back for more.
Closest edgy part is when he did a crappy deep mexican accent (could have been the Frito Bandito as far as I could tell) claiming it was Antonio Banderes (of course he needed to tell you who he was doing in his accent first...and how relevant is Antonio these days anyway?) Mentioned Antonio did the animated movie puss and boots as it was his 2 favorite things boots and ... pause...(rimshot here). Is that funny to you and am I missing something?
If you are 65-100, maybe this thing is for you, but for me (45) this was a impression/comedy suck fest at its finest. I wouldn't go again for free even if they served beer and washed my car in the parking garage...really. Honestly Gordy, contact me and I'll be glad to get my refund! You seem like a nice man but I left the show feeling like I lost an hour+ of my life and $100 over nothing more than a crappy PT Barnum sideshow. A sucker is born every minute and I left feeling like one! Person with me walked out and said they needed a drink to recover from the awful performance. We both left feeling 100% ripped off, not in a happy mood.
My advice, look up his act online on youtube and if that works for you, enjoy, if not, be warned. Best part of the night was the Golden Nugget casino that was surprisingly very nice inside for an old-town vegas casino.
