Sinbad: Where U Been?

Sinbad: Where U Been?If you love comedian Sinbad, here are some brief comments about his DVD “Where You Been”:

“I was very glad to be able to view this show as my wife and I and another couple were to go to the show in Joliet for our and their anniversary. The tickets were forty dollars each plus gas and hotel accommodations Walmart save us a bundle and we can enjoy the show anytime now!”

“It was hilarious and I loved watching it. I would recommend this to anyone who either likes Sinbad or wants a good laugh.”

“I love this dvd by Sinbad. He said things we want to do and say to our grown kids.”

Thirteen years after his last stand-up performance, prolific comic Sinbad takes the stage of the Club Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California to do what he does best – keep an audience in stitches.

It’s a whole different world than it was the last time Sinbad performed, and in addition to filling his fans in on what he’s been up to over the past decade, he also takes time to poke some fun at the president, comment on the state of the economy, and reflect on his relationship status.

Sinbad gives an illuminating lesson on how women can get what they want from men, and bemoans the fact that men lie about little things, “stupid things.” He further explains that “men are simple,” and one must clearly and precisely communicate with them.

One woman in the audience called out “snoring” as a problem to be addressed and Sinbad asked, “Did he snore when you met him?” She hollered back, “No,” to which he replied “Well you sucked the life out of him… he’s got no air.” His timing is impeccable; watching him perform is watching a master of the art.

It’s wonderful to be young, but Sinbad embraces age — both its positives and its negatives.

He explains why older men shouldn’t go out with 20-year-old women (women over 50 recognize signs of a stroke) and describes the problems that come with progressive lenses.

This is not a show targeted at the elderly; Sinbad covers all the ages of man.

Comedy Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself (DVD)

Comments (1)

Jeff Dunham - Arguing With MyselfBreathing life into an elderly curmudgeon, a purple human-like creature from the Micronesian islands, and a self-effacing talking jalapeno on a stick, Jeff Dunham is straight man to some of the funniest partners in show business!

His comedic skill and impeccable technique serve as slight of hand however, drawing attention away from the fact that Dunham is a ventriloquist extraordinaire.

Arguing With Myself, a recorded live performance of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, portrays a comedian whose revival of an old-fashioned art has made ventriloquism more relevant to modern societal concerns.

Starring his six main characters, from Bubba Jay, a Nascar-obsessed hick, to Peanut, a flamboyant gay monkey, Dunham’s puppets have dirty but relatively inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream.

One can easily see why Jay Leno champions Dunham, as his skits contain a similar sly sarcasm disguised as wholesome teasing aimed at men indebted to their ugly wives, for example, or people who live their lives working in cubicles. At times, though, Dunham’s humor seems to lose its ironic distance, especially as he interacts with puppets like Jose Jalapeño, a Cuban chile pepper, or Sweet Daddy D, a Black pimp, both reliant on the antiquated humor once popularized in cartoons by racial caricature.

It’s Jeff Dunham along with his outspoken and often edgy characters: Walter, Peanut, Jose Jalapeno (“…on a steeek!”), Bubba J, and Sweet Daddy Dee in their full, uncut, and uncensored live stage show that will leave you on the floor laughing like no other!

Since the entire audience in the film is white, it is difficult to assess whether or not African-Americans or Latinos would find Dunham funny.

In other words, Dunham’s humor isn’t overtly offensive enough to make fun of ethnic heritage. However, his skills as a ventriloquist alone make him a fascinating entertainer, and anyone interested in how puppetry and ventriloquism has progressed over the decades would benefit from watching Dunham bring life to his wooden friends. –Trinie Dalton
