Dining Around with Gene Burns

Saturday 10am-1pm 

Performance of " Not a Genuine Black Man" by Brian Copeland

Thanks so much for making last Friday evening so delightful. Joel you were so right about the Last Supper Club. The food, service, energy and ambiance were wonderful. After cocktails, I ordered the Mahi Mahi and my friend ordered the Pork entree. Both portions were generous, arrived at the table promptly and were prepared to perfection. For desert we had Chocolate Budino and Vanilla Bean Pannecotta. Both were unique, fattening, and delicious.

I would be remiss to not mention that our waitress, Carly, was the best. She suggested several items and helped us select our entrees and deserts. She was extremely efficient and knowledgeable.

The result was a great dinner.

Not an Original Black Man exceeded my expectations. I am a frequent and long time listener to KGO. I am quite familiar with Gene Burns, Ronn Owens, Pete Wilson, Bernie, Ray, and Brian Copeland. I try to listen to Brian whenever I can and also when he and Ronn perform the occasional Friday joke program. So I knew that he was quite talented as a radio program host and as a comedian. But I was not familiar with him as a stage performer. It was so pleasing to find that his talent as a stage performer exceeded my expectations. I was particularly impressed with his ability to play so many characters. Not only did he play himself as an 8+ year old. But he also could quickly change characters from his mother, grandmother, father, a lawyer and many other characters with extreme ease and with great talent. His show is very absorbing, extraordinarily well performed and easily deserving of the standing ovation he received. He amazingly kept us fully engaged for the whole two hour performance.

So thank you, Gene Burns, and KGO for a fabulous experience and special evening.
