Chris Rock

On Tuesday 5 August we went to see Chris Rock's No Apologies Tour at the State Theatre. I didn't know what we were seeing, and the tickets had been bought ages ago, so I had to keep my eyes down going into the theatre and try not to overhear what other people were talking about. I figurd it out right before he came out....thanks to my awesome powers of deduction.....and deciding that the stage wasn't set up for a musical or band!

The theater itself was amazing! It was opened in 1929 and designed by Henry White, with elements of Gothic, Italian and Art Deco all rolled into one. The crystal chandelier that was above us in the balcony is the second largest on earth, weighing over four tonnes!! Glad those 1920s bolts kept it in place!

Chris Rock was pretty impressive too. :o) It is the first time he's toured Australia and his first stand up trou in over three years. He's done stand up, acting, voice overs, MC at award ceremonies, screen plays, directed, produced, written, sung, you name it and he's probably given it a go!

As usual his act centred around his child-hood, politics, and inter-racial dating. If there are any tickets left I'd recommend you snap them up!
