the idea of a bunch of people going to his show not knowing what to expect is kind of head scratching to me.

It happened to me with CK tho. I didn’t know much about him before I went to his show and he wasn’t that good. Audience groaned at his Black joke which made him pack it up early. It was a bad joke tho.. wasn’t funny at all.

I think when it happens to Dave he will pivot or adjust but as long as the jokes hit, and IMO he was firing on all cylinders in this last special, folks will have to deal with it or just move on from him.
