Robert Kelly: Live at the Village Underground

Another stand-up comedian I will look forward to watch more shows of. Robert Kelly is very straightforward, is not afraid of interacting with the audience, on the contrary he talks to the audience in an attacking way, attacking but full of sarcasm and irony. If you can take a joke the first row at his shows is a good spot. If you on the other hand are quickly offended then a backseat spot is a better place for you. He's very energetic, goes on for about an hour, with good sarcastic jokes. If you're looking for some good laughs this is a good show for it.

Robert Kelly's routine is that he is fat and getting older and he doesn't care. He is indeed, fat -- as he puts it, he is on his fifth fat. He is also a high energy performer.He talks non-stop, rarely pausing to take a breath as he goes on and on about how fat people are better than skinny people because they feel bad about themselves while thin people are smug and self-satisfied. While the audience in this show enjoy him and while a lot of his jokes work, I was left with the thought that they were drunk and while I watched this on Comedy Central, I was sober. While his live audience was hit with a constant series of jokes, with no time to come down from the laughter, my enjoyment had to rebuild after each commercial break. The result is a good one-hour show on television, but I believe he is a lot better when it's late on Saturday and I have had a few drinks.
