Chelsea Handler + Belvedere = what the %$#@ did she just say?

I knew it was a bad sign when there was a huge line out the door and we were arriving right at 10:30. Apparently, Chelsea promised a book signing, but promised it to a THOUSAND people!! Her late show didn't even start until 11:22.... 52 minutes late! I am not ashamed to admit I was already tired (feeling all of my 35 years) and the opening act Guy Branahm still had to perform.

I won't even go over Guys act, it had one theme only and not enough funny bits about that theme (did you know he was gay?) :) to justify it. I liked how he brought in some local material about our city, but he was literally sreaming into the mike.

Chelsea was funny, but only sporadically, thanks to too many sips from her sponsor (Belvedere Vodka). By the time she made it on stage it was already Midnight and she was well on her way to last call. There were some very funny bits, don't get me wrong. One in particular about discovering "the feeling" at a 2nd grade sleepover had me laughing so hard I was crying and afraid I was going to start choking. Chelsea does have a way with getting away with things most of us only think in our heads and she obviously strikes a cord with more than just my fellow thirtysomethings (the place was packed and had 20 yr olds and 40 year olds alike).

I would like to see her again, but would definitely go to the earlier show.... I think they got more "Bang, Bang" for their buck.
