As big "Daily Show" fans, we've been lucky enough to see two of the program's correspondents at Cobb's in recent months: John Oliver back in May, and now Wyatt Cenac. I was a little surprised that Cenac, who gained some attention last year for an Obama impression he posted on YouTube, doesn't do any material on politics or current events -- he mainly deals with topics like male/female relationships, race, and stories from his life. His stage persona is almost TOO laid-back -- there's a fine line between "relaxed" and "low energy." Part of that may have to do with the Thursday crowd, though; maybe the Fri & Sat shows will be a bit livelier. I had never heard of opening act Susan Burke before, but I really enjoyed her set.

I generally like Wyatt's segments on the Daily Show but I thought this performance was dry and uninspired. It didn't help that the opening acts had very similar styles. I see a fair number of comedy shows and this one was the first time I've ever left before the performer was done. It just wasn't all that funny so what's the point of hanging around?

I have enjoyed just about everything I have seen Cenac do on the Daily Show; this performance at Cobb's was a disappointment. He's not much of a physical/facial comedian; he even wore a hat that covered much of his face for the entire show. All that would be fine if his material was more imaginative, better paced, and stronger than what he did last night. He does not seemed destined to be the next Black or Colbert....
Cobbs staff are cool....but the room has been around for quite awhile and it shows....

More Details About Comedian Wyatt Cenac
More Information
Website: http://www.wyattcenac.com/
Wyatt Cenac was born in New York City. After three years of big city life he had enough and moved to Dallas, Texas. Missing the big city life, Wyatt moved to North Carolina. After four years, he realized he got on the wrong plane and moved to the big city of Los Angeles where he would spend the next bunch of years doing comedy and getting into debt.
While in LA, Wyatt spent three seasons as a writer on FOX's animated show "King of the Hill" and also performed stand up at shows like "Comedy Death Ray" and "The Tomorrow Show." To avoid his debt collectors, Wyatt spent most of his time performing at places like the Upright Citizens Brigade and Improv Olympic, where he performed in shows like "Rap Crisis Center," "The Armando Show" and did a regrettably terrible Barack Obama impression that found its way onto the Internet. In 2008, Wyatt starred in the film "Medicine for Melancholy" which was nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards and lost all three (Thanks a lot, "Synecdoche, New York").
Wanting to return to the big city he gave the finger to as a toddler, Wyatt moved back to New York in 2008 to join the news team of "The Daily Show" as a correspondent and writer. He forgot how cold it gets in the winter.
