Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell is a new comedy show that just started. Since you all know how much my family and I are jokesters, I was excited to get chosen to host a premier party. It didn't take much planning, I offered beer, snacks and a stand up comedian, so it was pretty easy to get people over.
First Becca helped me prepare snacks...
This was her contribution since I wasn't going to let her stay up for the show. She enjoyed it. :)
Next I got out the poker chips and games to play before the show....
I wish I had remembered to get pictures of people playing but I didn't think about it once the games got started. Apples to Apples was the winner, that game is perfect for getting people in a laughing mood.
Of course there was some poker as well...
I didn't think to take any of us watching the show either. People had a mixed reaction to the show itself. I think the general feeling was that it was ok, but not great. The show seemed to drag some and a couple people mentioned that he seemed to be forcing the jokes. I, and many people that came over, go to a local comedy club a lot and I think we were expecting something more like that, where it was fast paced and casual. Instead it seemed very scripted and the bits dragged on and on. He also seemed uncomfortable on stage in the studio. I would probably watch it again, but I don't see it being one of my "can't miss" shows.
Overall it was a fun evening of jokes and family fun, so I'm glad I got the opportunity to host it. Thanks Crowdtap and Totally Biased!!
