Rrazz Room @ Hotel Nikko (San Francisco, CA)
Lauded for his sharp political satire and incisive view of the human condition, Mort Sahl was the first humorist on the cover of Time, the first performer to make a comedy album, and the first non-musician to win a Grammy. Since he entered the national comedy scene in 1961, comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory has used social satire to change the way white Americans perceive African American comedians.

These two legendary humorists did not disappoint! I had thought that the evening would have Gregory and Sahl in conversation together, but it turned out to be two separate acts. Some of the jokes were oldies, but overall the acts of these two senior comics seemed fresh, timely, and masterfully delivered.
Very enjoyable to see the comics in person. Each went for about an hour (Gregory a bit more than Sahl). But Goldstar members should be warned that the maitre d here sits Goldstar members in the lesser seats. My friend and I showed up very early and when I asked if it was okay if we took a different table that was father away but more to the center, he said, "no, you have to sit here, Goldstar."
Disappointed that the Maitre D labelled us as Goldstar attendees and gave us seats in the corner behind the piano. Refused to move our seating because were Goldstar.
