I think Smoove's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" character - Leon - is terrific, so I made the mistake of thinking that, because he's a comic actor, he's also a comic. Nothing could be further from the truth. He touches on a lot of subjects, and completely fails to find anything funny in any of them. With enough props perhaps he could be a "prop comic" (the least-respected form), but even there he only shows up with a T-shirt, a chair, and a mike cord. I mean, he gets some mileage out of that mike cord, but prop comics have a little more obligation to be creative and bring something *zany*, no? Standup specials like this one really just make me ask one question: Where on earth do they find an audience full of people whose standards for comedy are so low that they can sustain an hour of laughter and applause in the face of Nothing. Funny. At. All. ?

Seriously. Is it free tickets? Free booze? Beats me. I didn't laugh.
