Hi,
I caught the performance, and honestly, was a little disappointed.
His delivery, especially towards the end, was uneven. He seemed to get
nervous and stay that way. Also, the material was too dark for me. I
much prefer the surrealist sequences to the "I'm thinking about
committing suicide" stuff.
The show in LA was much better. There was no annoying lit up "EXIT" sign
3 feet from Joe's head. The stage was darker. It seemed like Joe was
more comfortable. I don't remember the material being as ultra-dark. The
audience seemed more into performance art than the Third Coast crowd.
Joe's timing on the video-synced oration was better in LA too. The
dancer was more into it in LA... here the first couple of times she came
out I got the vibe that she wanted to get off the stage asap.
Dunno....
