Denis Leary and The Rescue Me Comedy Tour

Last night, Denis Leary came to the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie and I was there!!

Laura (my Rick Springfield/Def Leppard partner) and I grabbed a quick bite at BJ's before we headed to Grand Prairie. We get in and wait in line for 20 minutes for drinks! The place was packed and there were all kinds there to see Denis.

We get settled - we had good seats with a nice clear view of the stage. They start off with showing a video montage about The Leary Firefighters Foundation and "Rescue Me" - which is one of my favorite shows on TV.

Denis and his band, The Enablers, come out to perform two songs - one is "In The Rehab" and another is supposed to be a happy upbeat song. However, it's a laundry list of f-yous, and other slurs done to a peppy Jamaican beat. It was hysterical.

Denis then does his show. He has pictures of Dr. Phil, the Octomom, Brangelina, Willem Dafoe, him in a dress and he talks about all of this. He is so funny and irreverent!!

He then introduces some comics that he has brought with him... Lenny Clark and Adam Ferrera, who are both on the show. There was another guy who will be on a couple of episodes this season as well.

Denis came back with his band and closed with my favorite song, "Asshole." It was a great concert, lots of music, lots of laughs...... great way to begin a three-day weekend!

So wish I could have been there, I worship the smoke cloud he walks on.
