Jimmy in Boston (Somerville Theatre)
18 2013-03-31 by seeenheeen
Let me preface this with the suggestion that if Yimmy comes around your area, GO! He was super funny and commanded the stage with his unparalleled insight and personality.
Jimmy probably told over 1 hour and 45 min of original, dirty and well thought out bits. Despite the stupid shitheads that kept getting up during the show to go piss, Jimmy's bits kept my eyes/ears/mind focused on what he was saying, despite how ridiculous. Not only does he provide the laughs, but the social commentary that we are all so used to on the show demands attention and respect.
He had ridiculous bits on trannys and massages (happy endings?) while also using very serious current events (Aurora/Sandy Hook/Federal Gov't) to allow people an opportunity to laugh instead of grieve or get pissed off. (Serious I know, apologies. Jimmy made sure this point came across)
My favorite part is when he turned into Chip Chipperson without any warning and some ppl just did not get it. HYSTERICAL! Chip's improv was as stupid, incomplete and hacky as you could expect. Then Uncle Paul came around to babysit and get crib marks on his legs until Edgar needed his teeth licked.
Personally, I had an outstanding time because my original seats (for me and my brother) were behind a filming camera and allowed me to spot Opie in the wings. I was able to pass on a sentiment from Mistress Carrie from WAAF (afternoon drive DJ) who claims Opie was a very important influence for her to continue in radio. Opie obviously remembered the name because he came right over and I was able to shake his hand, tell him how much of a fan I was while he asked to pass good graces on to his former employee. About 10 minutes later, my seats were upgraded 3 rows closer and in the dead center of the theatre. As I was told by Mistress Carrie on Friday (I work at WAAF) some serious shit when down when Opie and Anthony were banned from Boston inside the station and bad blood was split everywhere.
Also, I said hello to Club Soda Kenny, literally just as robotic as the b-b-b-b-boys describe.
TLDR; Jimmy Killed, I met Opie and passed on positive sentiments to my boss/ his former co-worker

Sounds like fun. Though I don't see how someone is a shithead for pissing.

only reason I said that because at the start of the show they asked for the audience members to not leave because the doors opening in the back would be a distraction. Jimmy even said something like i know you have to pee but its real distracting.

It was because he was filming for his special. Not because Yimmy is a diva.
YOU GUYS WILL LOVE THE OPENING FOR THE SPECIAL WHEN IT AIRS!! They played it before Jimmy went on and there is a hillarious cameo.

Funny story: I was in line to meet Jimmy and Opie, and I asked Kenny, who was selling merchandise, if Jimmy would sign my ticket.
Kenny's response: "No... buy somethin'."
Jimmy signed the ticket.

i legitimately believe that opiesucks is opie trying to get the fans to realize how annoying people who hate opie are.

Ha that would be genius. Or maybe it's Rick Delgado. I think more likely though it's some douchebag from the irrelevant shitpile of a message board that is wackbag.
