It was a comedy fest held at Pier one in Montego Bay with what are suppose to be some of Jamaica`s best comedians. My wife and I went and we could hear the audience cracking up from a far since we were late because I never got the chance to leave work on time so when I came home dinner, dressing and other preparations took out a few hours but upon arrival it was obvious that the show was boiling up.
A few acts had already performed and emcees Chuchu and Pretty Boy Floyd were keeping the people on the edge of their seat. But certain act was a joke and just did not give the patrons what they hoped to get. I`m talking about the Professor nuts who in his effortless attempt to change rearrange his style of performance almost bring the show to a halt. The audience expected him to come on stage and reeled out some of his good old lyrics like “in a de bus,’ ‘funny guy’ etc., but the bedtime story thing didn`t quite make it and it caused a walkout the moment the professor started out by telling stories. In addition to causing further boredom the professor forgot his backup CD and the accapella would have worked if he had just jumped straight into his act. Since I had much more serious obligations my wife and I walked out with the crowd so I only can assume that other comedian acts were left to perform for an audience with 85% empty chairs.
Earlier acts such as Ity and Fancy Cat, Lemon and Granny gave some outstanding performances that left the crowd begging for more. A lot of people who didn`t have tickets didn`t bother to pay for entrance since they could get a full show outside the fence; this was something my wife and I observed outside before entering.
