It was my first time at Caroline's last night. The place is pretty nice, and quite big compared to most other big name comedy clubs in the city. We had dinner before the show, which was surprisingly very good and well presented, if a bit pricier than I would have liked for a comedy club, but it is in the middle of touristy Times Square.
We somehow magically ended up with reserved seating right in front of the stage, it may be because we were having dinner, but I don't really know.
The emcee was woman, she was okay, kind of funny but not hilarious. Her jokes were kind of all over the place and her interaction with the audience was not great. The second guy, Kevin, was great. He had excellent delivery and his material was fantastic. His story about being smacked in the head by a pigeon had me laughing so hard I was crying.
Then we get to the main act of the night, Gilbert. It was a little hard to watch him, as he was uniquely awkward, he comtinuosly had a hand on his head either rubbing the top or covering an eye. He also kept adjusting the mike, usually putting his arms up to cover his face. I'm not sure if it was part of the act or if he's genuinely awkwardly shy. His routine was very good though. His voice is so annoyingly familiar and it just makes everything seem so much funnier. His jewish jokes were awesome and his impressions were pretty good, especially Jackie Mason and Bob Dylan. He capped it off with some of the dirty jokes from his DVD which were familiar but still great to hear coming from Gilbert.
Overall it was a fun night and it was pretty cool to see Gilbert Godfried live.
