As always there is a beautiful large group of fun-loving, progressive, and active African-Americans in the Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers and Naples Southwest Florida area, that get out into the community and have a great time.
Saturday night July 23rd, 2016 there were at least 20 of us that decided to purchase VIP tickets to see an hear funny man Cedric the Entertainer at the very new venue called the Southwest Florida Performing Arts Center in Bonita Springs.
Due to the newness of the venue and staff, sellout crowd of over 600 people and I am sure other variables, there were many hiccups that causes some concerns. First of all, we had a large party and it appears the venue did not plan for this and told the first arrivers they could not be seated until the entire party arrived. By the time we all arrived they had us seated in the back of the building with little options left to be seated closer to the stage. But we managed to move past the seating issue.
The show opened with a comic named Malik S. and he was very funny. It appeared that everyone in the crowd enjoyed his routine and he did a great job at warming the crowd in preparation for the headliner...Cedric The Entertainer.
During the opening act we had dinner and drinks and the food was delicious. Our waitress was a doll and truly kind but not quite up to speed with how to handle moving things along. She was slow to take everyone's orders and bring the food. We did not get our checks/bills until the everyone else in the venue were well gone. It was a good thing we all were honest individuals. But I digress...back to the show. Cedric came out with his signature hat and suit. He danced his way on the stage and got the crowd bumped up with the music and his dancing. The show was a great success and the only thing I wish Cedric had done was come out to interact with the crowd after the show. We are use to meeting the comedians after the show that visit our small South Florida area, but that is also when the venue was much smaller. With over 600 people in attendance there is a possibility of him getting mobbed.
If you have the opportunity to see either comic...Malik S or Cedric The Entertainer, I would suggest that you make the investment. A good laugh can make you feel great!
