Dude I'm surrounded by the brothers here...

So the wife and I went into Boston this weekend for a make up anniversary weekend. We spent the night in the city.

For dinner we went up to the north end and had a great meal at this awesome restaurant called L'Dolce Vita. I tried to get the wife hammered so she would get freaky that night. Instead she had one glass of wine and got sleepy.


We were batting the idea around all week of seeing a comedy show. We finally decided that we would hit the comedy connection and see D.L Hughley perform.

He was a riot. The dude who opened for him, was not.

First of all I've seen the dude who opened before. He opened for Jim Norton at the Comedy Connection 2 years ago.

Two years ago he had the same act that he did on Saturday.

Now two things. D.L Hughley is apparently a big comic in the black community, this was apparent by the representation by the black community at the club. No problems there. I don't have problem with black people. We were surrounded by black people. That is the second thing.

Now this is where it starts to suck. The comic without original material decides to break out some new material. He starts talking about stereotypes.

Specifically black stereotypes.

Specifically black dudes have big cocks and black people like watermelon and fried chicken.

I'm surrounded by black people. Imagine a flashlight in the middle of the night. That is how much I stood out.

The comic is like "Big dicks are great stereotypes!! Chicken and watermelon is great!! I love it!!"

There are crickets in my corner of the club.

NO ONE IS LAUGHING.

I am praying that there is a sniper about to take this hack out

Dude know your audience. When half of the people are black and you are white dude from Boston, don't fucking talk about black stereotypes.

Other than that mild infraction that set the civil rights movement back, D.L. Hughley was a riot.

To top things off, when we get back to our room, I turn on the TV and there is Dave Chappelle doing standup talking about how fried chicken and watermelon is delicious and how being stereotyped about having a big dick was not a bad thing.

Fucking hack...
