    Chris Rock live in the Olympia

    He has a TV show so I figure this is the best place for it. Anyone else going to see Chris Rock? Got my ticket this morning and I can't wait, genuinely the best comedian working today. Been waiting to see him live almost as long as I was waiting to see Leonard Cohen, suffice to say I'm happy the way this summer is going

    Patrice o Neil is funnier , I used to like Chris Rock when i was younger ive gone off him a bit latley he has large parts of his shows that go nowhere its just cursing and the crowd falling about the place, i was watching never scarred last night wasnt great.

    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........

    Not much of a fan of his stand up but the TV show is good.

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    I like some of his stuff, thought his stand up about racism was very funny, also liked his solution to gun violence and the one he did about OJ was good too, others were kinda Meh but overall he is a pretty funny dude, how much are tickets?

    He has some good material, for sure. His solution to gun violence bit is really good, but he's too hit and miss for me, and when he misses, he's awful. On the other hand, I've never heard a funny Richard Prior joke.

    I can't say I've seen a lot of him - just the odd clip here and there.
