I went to see Bill Bellamy after seeing some of his shows on You-Tube. Very funny guy in those clips; he mined black family life, the battle of the sexes, attitudes between the races -- all to great and very funny effect. Not so Saturday night at Cobb's in San Francisco. Much of his material seemed aimed at 20-something black women, who made up about a quarter of the audience, and he could have been great. Instead, he mostly focused on sex and while he had his target audience in his hand for about the first half of the show, then he lost them. He had lost most of the rest of the audience (I'm white as was about half the audience) even earlier. I really like a comedian who can mine racial attitudes for humor (going back to when Dick Gregory began) but I was really disappointed. After 40 minutes or so, everybody was sitting on their hands. Too profane, too much material just about sex, none of the kind of stuff that was in the You Tube clips. Just an awful performance. Maybe he's bored with his material and ought to retire.
