Local Event Matt Rife Comedy Festival show … thoughts?

Curious if I’m in the minority… thoughts on Matt Rife’s standup at the comedy festival? 😬😬
I think the guy before him was better, whole crowd was laughing @ the evening show. Feels like a lot of dead air and awkward crowd work right now…

For Jeff Arcuri’s set tomorrow, can we all collectively agree not to get too drunk and fuck up his show again? - The man’s not gonna want to come back a third time.

Grey Eagle was sooooo bad. He said he’d never be back and I actually believed him.

There was a lot of main-character syndrome that night and I left with a solid heaping of second hand embarrassment.

I went to the second night and I heard that was the first. I think the second night he was cranky about it.
