I'm long time Pablo Francisco fan. After watching so many of his excellent routines on Comedy Central, etc., I was really looking forward to finally seeing him live. Unfortunately, his latest routine is awful and not funny at all. The two comedians before him were much funnier, and hungrier! There are hardly any jokes or any story line in his new routine. The entire routine is now voices and impersonations. There is hardly any continuity in any part of the act. It's all quite disorganized. The timing is off and the pace is too fast. His "movie voice" has always been very popular but only when used it sparingly and tactfully. He now uses that voice throughout the entire routine and it completely loses its charm and value. The routine has also gotten very crude and raunchy. Gone are the the well crafted jokes with voices and sound effects tastefully sprinkled in. Now it's all dick jokes and humping, along with some unimaginative jokes about the Chinese, Mexicans, and midgets done in various voices with sound effects. I can't recall a single moment in the routine when he wasn't doing the humping motion with some voice. Extremely unimaginative! Perhaps the popularity has made Pablo complacent but I don't expect such intellectual laziness from his routines. Pablo, please ditch this routine and come up with new material. Go back to your roots. You are too smart of a comedian to have such a mediocre routine.
A couple of minor points: Pablo, you are a celebrity and people want to see you. Why are you hiding yourself in a large jacket and a baseball hat on stage? Especially when you were complaining about it being too hot on stage and sweating profusely. You looked like you were in the witness protection program or something. Get rid of that jack and the hat and let people see you. Secondly, I understand most of your routine is voices and sound effects now but please move the mic a bit away from your mouth and annunciate better. It's often tough to understanding what you are saying.
Mad Props to Wilbur Theater in Boston though! I had unknowingly gotten seats near the bar where people wouldn't shut up during the performance. I complained and the theater moved us to the front-row upstairs for an excellent experience. Thank you Wilbur Theater! You guys rock!
