The first two openers were pretty bad, and I don't know what set Rawlings did in Calgary but he was average at best. Lots of singing, grunting, sound effects, and funny faces. Turns out that was the more appropriate approach for the Edmonton crowd as people were generally enjoying it.
Dave started great. Got a few topical jokes in, including Trump sucking dick and Charlie Kirk being an #######. Some people are saying that's where the tone in the crowd shifted, but it really went completely off the rails with about 30 minutes left in his set.
First, during his falcon bit, some dung brain shouted "we didn't come here to hear about animals" and promptly got his ass kicked out. Then Dave, for some reason, thought it was a good idea to engage with the crowd. He asked what else goes on in Edmonton besides oil and hockey, and some fine young s###head yelled "best coffee shops in the world". Dave: "In the world? Coffee? That doesn't even grow here." That was funny.
But then he made his big mistake: he started encouraging them. He said something along the lines of "after all my years in comedy this might be the crowd I've been looking for". Well that just gave the City of Morons permission to up their game. They started yelling and screaming on a constant basis. The sound in Rogers Place is absolute dogs### so people were yelling that they couldn't hear him, and then Dave got after the sound guy and tried to make a few jokes but the crowd was relentless.
The last 20-25 minutes he just gave up, walked around the stage looking at his watch, and counting down his time like Burr in Philly. We likely only got about 20 solid minutes of his planned set. What a disappointment.
F### Edmonton.

That's brutal.
Reminds me of the time I saw Charlie Murphy live. The crowd just kept yelling Chappelle Show quotes at him. He told them repeatedly to stop, but the crowd was full of buffoons who thought yelling "I'm Rick James B***" was the funniest thing in the world. Totally ruined the show and Charlie Murphy got through about a 1/2 of his material.
I also see why Chappelle made the decision to quit his comedy show back in the day. A bunch of ignorant, mostly white, A-holes shouting black lingo at him.
