Great show. The venue had good food better than I had at other comedy venues. The venue is right near the San Jose strip so after the club you can get your drink or dance on.Written on Jun 18 2007

Tommy was O.K.. Did a lot of freestyle. Hit on some funny subjects but: all in all the other two starters got my funnybone more than Tommy actually did.Written on Jan 26 2009

He was so funny and talented. Great impersonation of Pres. Obama.Written on Jan 11 2012
The only thing that was annoying was the constant walking of waiters in front of us. Our table didn't have a good view of the stage so the servers were constantly blocking our view.

More Information About Comedian Tommy Davidson
Description
Tommy Davidson’s exceptional range – stand-up comedy and acting to versatile music ability – have earned him a reputation as an extraordinary performer. Best known as one of the original stars of the hit television show In Living Color, Tommy’s visibility increased rapidly and he became widely known for his innovative talent.
Davidson started his career as a stand-up comedian in Washington, D.C., earning an ardent following with sheer hard work in various comedy clubs. As one of the cutting-edge, young stand-ups, he was spotted by major concert promoters who booked him as the opening act for A-list touring acts including Patti LaBelle, Kenny G and Luther Vandross. It wasn’t long before he came to Hollywood and was performing stand-up at a number of clubs, including the Comedy Act Theatre, where he met Robert Townsend. This led to his first national television appearance with a starring role in Partners in Crime and was the conduit to Keenan Ivory Wayans, who proved instrumental in Davidson’s career by offering him an opportunity to audition and join the uniquely talented cast of the most adventurous primetime variety show of its day, In Living Color. He, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans made TV history with their originality.
Tommy’s impressive film debut was opposite Halle Berry in Strictly Business. He immediately segued into select high-profile films starring opposite Jada Pinkett Smith in the romantic comedy, Woo (New Line), and in the provocative urban comedy Booty Call (Columbia Pictures). His credits include numerous feature film roles from Spike Lee’s Bamboozled, where he received acclaim and praise for his turn as “Womack/Sleep ‘N Eats,” to Juwanna Mann (Morgan Creek Productions’) and the pivotal cameo in Jim Carrey’s Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls, which has become a cult favorite.
Davidson’s hilarious impressions of Sammy Davis Jr., Michael Jackson and other icons have become famous. His visibility on In Living Color led to three Showtime specials: On Strength of New York, Illin’ in Philly and Takin’ it to DC. His elasticity as a performer who delivers on both the big and small screen led to other projects like the lead in the Disney’s animated series The Proud Family and as one of the hosts on FOX’s popular The NFL Show alongside football greats Michael Irvin and Tony Siragusa. Davidson also portrays the lead in Will Smith’s up-and-coming animated series, Youngins.
Tommy stars – along with 80 other star stand-ups – in I Am Comic, opposite Tim Allen, Lewis Black, Sarah Silverman, Carlos Mencia, Jeff Foxworthy and Kathy Griffin. IAC, which premiered on Showtime in June, earned numerous awards at film festivals throughout the country.
Davidson scored big with reviewers and audiences alike opposite Michael Jai White in the critically-lauded spoof comedy, Black Dynamite (Sony Pictures), last year’s big Sundance hit. He also recently completed Chicago Pulaski Jones with Cedric the Entertainer. He has a special guest appearance on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on October 10, 2011, helping a struggling family realize their dream.
Tommy travels internationally, selling out every venue in which he headlines leaving an indelible image no matter the performance medium, size of the venue or age of the audience.
