Cortney Gee's True Cleveland Comedy Stories:

I have had the pleasure of working with some of today's brightest comedy stars . The darkest moment I shared with a artist had to be the night I opened The Mike Epps Comedy Tour and Charlie Murphy got booed . When I said booed I mean really like Boo N*kka get off stage booed !!!

I was horrified seeing he was getting way more money than me and I had rocked the crowd plus this cat is brother to a comedy legend.

Some people don't understand or appreciate the degree of difficulty associated with stand up comedy. We are truly only as good as our last joke with the audience.

After the show I talked to Charlie who though shaken was cool about the experience. Gotta give the brother props he took that in stride.
Plus he and Dave Chapelle gave us one of TV's funniest skits with the Rick James bit

I've never done comedy as a gig, but I've emcee'd before and that's work, especially if you are trying to be funny in the process. Charlie came to St. Louis last yeare and got booed off the stage here too.

Honestly, I've never thought he was that funny of a guy, but if they are willing to pay him, keep getting them dollars. I'm sure his pay has to do with familial connections.

If you watch the clip again the two funniest people in the video was Dave Chappelle as Rick James, and Rick James himself.

That was funny as heck. Man you got me laughing all loud at work.
