Dinner and a (sh*t) show.

40 Comments

.

Some friends invited us out to dinner and a show on the coast recently.

.

.

Location: The Taste of Maine. Home to the world’s largest inflatable lobster.

It’s a large family run seafood restaurant beloved by tourists but considered over rated and overpriced by us locals.

.

.

Our meal was just that, underwhelming and not worth the cost.

.

.

The show was upstairs and packed to capacity. It featured Bob Marley, a local comedian who sells out everywhere he appears.

To be honest, he’s not my cup of tea. The humor is low brow with too much emphasis on pooping and farting for my taste.

.

.

But our friends love him and were nice enough to pay for our tickets so we couldn’t refuse.

To each their own.

He’s just not for me.

I didn’t video any of the performance, but here’s an example of his style.

      1. I have this strange feeling you’re going to tell me you don’t have Netflix, but just in case, he’s got a couple of stand-up specials on it. He’s 100% clean and not at all low-brow, but hilarious. Even Jerry Seinfeld likes him!

  6. Wow! That’s really labouring a point! Totally milking a theme till the last laugh fades away.

    Our Billy Connolly is no shrinking violet when it comes to toilet humour, but he gets in, gets out and moves on, keeping it snappy.

    And he’s hilarious. 😂

    (This guy seems to be guilty of trying too hard … But fair play, people seem be lapping it up. ) 😀

      1. The immortal George Carlin identified six varieties of fart: The Fizz, the Fazz, the Fizz-fazz, the ripshit, the tearass and the one that goes “WHOOSH!” That should have covered it.

    2. Lapping it up? REALLY??? I hear the food’s bad but come on…
      Love Billy Connolly, especially his songs. We all know about the wellies, but let’s not forget about Quarantine and the Weekend Soldier. “My camouflage smock fits me perfectly but the trousers could be improved…”

  11. Welp, his humor is also NOT my humor. One thing I hate spending money on, is mediocre food!

    I would have put up with it too, for the love of my friends, but I couldn’t do a repeat more than once a year for them. 🤣

  12. There are a lot of places in the Bay Area whose food is mediocre and overpriced but the view and ambiance just can’t be beat. Sometimes you just have to go along with friends! I was raised in Reno Nevada and have been to way too many dinner shows with gross comedians!

  14. Yeah, not my humor, either. Kind of like the Mel Brooks version of “Robin Hood”–all the humor based on sex and toilets, rather than witty insights or banter. There are a few places right on the pier or the ocean where I take family members when they visit SoCal just so they can see the sunset. The food isn’t top notch, but the view is.
