The recent comedy show 'Get Your Laugh On' was so dirty, this review probably needs a warning label.

So here goes – Warning: The Following Review is Only for Mature Audiences with Immature Minds.

It turns out there are many people in this community who fit this description as it was standing room only in The Poinciana Room at the Fairmont Southampton on Friday night.

Despite the apparent lack of air conditioning and a late start time, the crowd was still in a good mood.

With all the financial gloom and doom in the media, it was clear that people needed to turn their brains off and unwind.

And nothing about 'Get Your Laugh On', organised by Nadanja Bailey's Image Entertainment company, required much deep thinking. This was sledgehammer humour at its best (or worst depending on your point of view).

It was headliner comedian Eddie Griffin who brought the crowds out, well-known for his roles in the hit movies 'DysFunKtional Family', 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo', 'Meteor Man', 'Norbit' and others.

He was also ranked at number 62 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.

Mr. Griffin: "If Obama is the first black man in the White House then he'll be the first black man to beat a white woman without going to jail."

The comedian is known for pushing the envelope. During a 2007 event sponsored by Black Enterprise magazine, he was tossed out for using the 'N' word.

Magazine owner and publisher Earl Graves, stated "We ... will not allow our culture to go backwards ... We will pay Mr. Griffin all that we owe him but we will not allow him to finish the show if that's the way he's going to talk."

But this reporter wonders if Mr. Griffin was set up. It only takes about five minutes of online research to figure out that Mr. Griffin's style is a tad on the rude side, to put it mildly.

There is plenty in his humour to offend. If his language didn't do it, his impressions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a pimp, and actor Bill Cosby as a drug dealer probably would.

But the Bermuda audience, supposedly known to have a "conservative nature" didn't seem to be particularly conservative on this night. Everyone laughed their heads off.

Sometimes however, it's those things which are never even mentioned onstage that are truly the funniest. In Mr. Griffin's case, it's his ranking as one of the worst drivers in the world.

According to the online website Wikipedia, he won the dubious accolade after crashing a rare Ferrari Enzo while practising for a charity racing event last year.

Following the event, Griffin left the car unharmed.

The flashy car belonged to film producer Daniel Sadek, and appeared on movie posters advertising the upcoming film 'Redline', which starred Mr. Griffin.

The crash made it on to the television programme 'World's Dumbest Drivers', where Mr. Griffin was voted the worst.

Friday's show also featured comedians Coolaide, Wil Sylvince, and Mr. Bailey and Jahrizino Simmons of the local act, Two Fools.

Coolaide: "Men are smarter than women. Women fake orgasms, men fake relationships."

Mr. Sylvince was born in New York to Haitian parents. He is a graduate of the New York Technical College, and is known for running a clean ship.

He apparently got a standing ovation on Def Comedy Jam without using any vulgarity.

To be honest, this reviewer didn't notice the absence of vulgarity. Maybe that was a testament to his talent.

Mr. Sylvince talked about what it was like as a child to get a belting from adults. It included all the snivelling, begging and pleading that children do to avoid a beating.

This topic seemed to resonate with the audience, and there were many laughs.

Bermuda's 'Two Fools' proved that they can easily hold their own with "foreign comedy experts".

They did a skit about a man trying to pick up a very drunk girl in a bar. This was certainly a topic that both men and women could identify with.

These "Two Fools" are really making a name for themselves on the Island with their comedy. Given the popularity of 'Get Your Laugh On' Mr. Bailey is also making a good name for himself as an event organiser.

My only complaint was the poor visibility at the back of the room.

Perhaps it's a bad idea to send a five-foot-tall person to review a show like this.

The show should also possibly include a warning label: Short people, bring stilts!
