Hello fellow standup fans. I just saw George Lopez perform stand up at the Magness Arena in Denver, CO. As usual Mr. Lopez was funny till he got boo’d for mentioning his attendance at a LA Lakers game. With the current case in Colorado against Koby Bryant and the Lakers rivalry with Denver it’s understandable that Mr. Lopez would get boo’in from the audience. What Mr. Lopez failed to see was that we were boo’in the Lakers name and not Mr. Lopez.

Mr. Lopez took this boo’in so personally that he proceeded to tell the audience to fuck off. He attempted to continue with the show but then proceeded to make statements like “I don’t need this shit. I have my own show and I don’t need to do stand up. I’m quitting stand up cuz of this shit (boo’in). I’ve been talking about chicanos and blacks stereotypes and this is what upsets you ?” He then proceeded to try to continue with the show but then continued to get upset about the boo’in. Mind you the audience was sitting there astonished at this immature display of childishness.

I would like to tell Mr. Lopez that he took the boo’in too far. He fucked up and never should of had taken the boo’in as a personal attack. The man has been doing stand up for many years and this is what upsets him ? I think Mr. Lopez has lost touch with his true
audience and thinks his show is the shizznitz. I spent $70.00 to see G-Lo. There were many other chicanos there that could not afford to see him but did it anyway to support a Latino comedian. I have numerous friends that wanted to see him but could not afford it. I think that his ego has gotten out of hand and he’s lost touch with his audience and his roots. I know that I will never pay to see George Lopez again. It’s a shame because I really enjoy his comedy and being that I’m latino I can really relate to it. Good Luck G-Lo. You’ll need it. I used to say great things about you but you fucked up. I turned on alot of people to your comedy but as of now your history in my book.
Good luck with that ego of yours.
