[Charlie Murphy] Comedy show rocks Eisenhower
Comedian Charlie Murphy took the stage to a partial standing ovation Saturday, when he was introduced as a co-writer of the — and this is a direct quote — the “smash hit, Norbit.”
At this point, I wasn’t sure what I was in for. Would we see a legit comedian, or simply someone who had hitched his wagon to the right stars?
In the beginning, it seemed like it would be the latter, as Murphy got his biggest laughs early on talking about his brother and quoting Chappelle’s Show. Even though neither Dave Chappelle nor Eddie Murphy was present, you could almost see their coattails on stage with Charlie Murphy.
Eventually, though, Murphy settled down and pleased a full Eisenhower Auditorium with some original material, centering on the male ego.
Ugh, choke on a bag of cocks collegian writer:
Once he was finished placating the fans with a few Chappelle’s Show one-liners, his material was surprisingly funny and original. I think the funniest part of his entire set was the fact that he used “boning” as a euphemism for a night of “all-star” sex.
