time: 64 minutes
Saturday Night Live alumni Dana Carvey might
be in his sixties, but the man most known for his great impressions and zany
characters can still deliver a solid show on stage. That is exactly what Carvey
did at the Wilbur Theatre, in Boston. The father of the Church Lady discussed
politics, music, movies, children, aging and many other topics.
Having always seen Dana Carvey as a comedian
that is anything but edgy, I was expecting a show that was frozen in time
performed by a man relying on his past successes. I was pleasantly surprised.
This show was very fresh and set nicely in 2016. The comedian dared to go into
such topics as Trump and Cosby, though he remained on the surface, never
getting too wet.
Still, over the course of 64 minutes, I found
myself laughing out loud many times. The bit about Lennon and McCartney having
a talk between heaven and earth about what the world has come to, with Carvey
doing both voices, was a favorite of mine. On the other hand, the Scarface bit
was weaker, in my opinion. Overall, this was a very solid comedy special that
is well worth watching.
