Arts / News Live Review: Tone X & Friends

Posted By on Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 4:41 PM

The Deal: Live comedy show hosted by radio personality Tone-X and Chris “Funnyman” Robinson (and sponsored by members of the Carolina Panthers) that takes place every Tuesday at 8 p.m. at Skandalos (5317 East Independence Blvd).

The Good: The Tone X & Friends comedy show, which has featured well-known comedians such as Hope Flood and Michael Blackson, definitely lived up to the hype last night, pulling all the stops. The show kicked off with open mic, as amateur comedians were given their chance at QCity fame; one shot to rock or flop. And it didn’t stop with comedy — R&B artist Young Fletcher blew everyone away with his fresh sound and crisp performance. To top it off, headliner Dekeys kept the momentum as he moved the house with his crude but tear jerking humor — I literally laughed till I cried.

Tone X & Friends' affiliation with urban media network, Swagger TV, allows the show to stream live — nationally and internationally. And thanks to the network’s accessibility to major artists, the show was able to pull off the biggest surprise of the night: a performance by Sean Paul! As if the crowd wasn’t live enough ... Trust me, you’ve never seen a show like this before.

The Bad: Anticipate a large crowd and plan to arrive early. Ladies, if your stilettos are just for show, then you might want to make an appearance before they bring out the “standing room only” sign.

The Verdict: Food, drinks, laughs … what more could you ask for? If you don’t mind raw humor and long lines — you should definitely check out this show. ($15 goes a long way, huh?)
