Chris Rock is one of my Favorite Comedians Of ALL TIME.
I have *loved* him since his days as a regular cast member on SNL along side Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, and David Spade. And who could forget his more than stellar performace in that little movie called New Jack City.
In 1996’s Chris Rocks Stand Up called Bring the Pain, gave him title as one of the best comedians in the industry. He went on to win two Emmy Awards for that special.
My two personal favorite routines were: Bigger & Blacker in 1999, and Never Scared in 2004.
I still watch them over and over and laugh every time, like it’s the first time.
– Don’t even get me started on quoting him.
I could go on and on about All Things Chris Rock and all of the reasons why I am such a FAN, but the caption on his photo above says it all.
So why am I posting about Chris Rock?
Well…
I am positively thrilled (and utterly beside myself) because one of my friend’s just called to surprise me with FREE TICKETS to witness Chris Rock perform LIVE…TONIGHT! (At the insanely lavish Borgata Hotel, in Atlantic City.)
(O.M.F.G.)
This day can not move fast enough. I am pacing around my office counting down the hours, minutes, and seconds until I will be graced with the honor of being in the presence of sheer comedic brilliance.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now!
OMFG is right. Damn, I knew you were going to have a good weekend. Did you catch my last comment? This is a great way to start. You’ll be smiling from ear to ear.
Have fun for me. I’ve always appreciated Chris Rock’s comedy. It has a very intelligent flare to it. You can’t beat that, especially when it comes with a great delivery (comma usage in question).
Chris Rock ROCKS!. Great way to start off the weekend!
Have a great time, He puts on a great show I seen him at the ‘Laugh Factory’ in L.A. about 4 years ago. ~ Remember watching the ‘BEST OF’ from all those old SNL stars . We used to sit around and watch the same videos like 10 times over. Just dormat for days and days watching skits like “Lunch Lady Land” (Farley) and all the Sandler Opera Man songs !!!!
Once again enjoy your time in A.C.
Urban:
I am flipping out. This is THE BEST beginning for a weekend….you have no idea. It’s only 9am and I cant wait to get out of my office.
Rog:

Danny, Certain Bald Guy:
I never saw him live before. I am soooo excited. I loved The Best Of SNL with Chris Rock!! We definitely watched that video at least 15254799.9 times. In.A.Row.

WE DID!! We’re just cool like that 😉
Chris Rock is one of Bossy’s favorites too. She liked him back in his SNL days too – even though he had weird long fingers back then, and what happened to his weird long fingers?
SomeGirl:
We Are So Very Cool – Like That.
BOSSY:
He must have grown into his weird long fingers.
have a good time.
WOW! Maybe you’ll get to meet him (think positive). I want to hear all about it tomorrow! You deserve some fun! This Rocks! (pun intended)
have fun..smile laugh enjoy…:)))
Man how lucky are YOU??? Post on how it was as soon as you can!
LOL…. I hope you had a great time at the concert! And dammit, Chris Rock will always be Smokey to me… (I love New Jack City…. it’s so… so RAW)
I gotta say though, I like better him in stand-up than in movies… *don’t shoot*
THAT SO ROCKS!
I am shure you’ll have stome stories.
Enjoy.
I hope you are having a great time.
I’m jealous. Laugh really really loud, when nobody else is laughing, then maybe he’ll riff on ya. Oh. You’ve already gone, and come back, and are in bed now. Good timing on my advice, huh?
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO! Hope you had an excellent time. I couldn’t agree with you more. Each time I hear him, I laugh myself silly. Quite obnoxiously, actually. And that swanky hotel? I looooooooooove swanky hotels. Can’t wait to hear about it all!
Have a great time, Sweetie, and report back immediately. Don’t you just love it when the stars align for something as cool as that! Can’t wait to hear!

I saw Chris Rock in a tiny comedy club in Dayton, Ohio…either 1995 or 1996…I can’t remember, but what I do remember is how freaking HILARIOUS he was!
Ricardo:
It was The Best Night Ive had in a VERY LONG TIME
Momo:
He was On His Game and It was TOAD-ILY hilarious.
Even though I just read about your trip from hell home from the show, I am so jealous!!!
Michael C:
It was WORTH getting that lost after seeing THIS show!
