Bobby Slayton, the Pit Bull of Comedy, is back at Hooters with his brutal, take no prisoners machine gun style humor. This Pitt Bull will bite anyone. Nothing is sacred and there are no lines that he will not cross. His language is punctuated with profanity. That having been said, I laugh my f***ing a** off every time I see him.

Bobby is booked at Hooters through April 2, so I strongly suggest that you get your f*** ing a** over to see him. I recommend a visit to the rest room first. He’s that funny.

Slayton’s show begins with video of more than a dozen comedians commenting on him. In keeping with Bobby’s persona, they bite with comments like, “Bobby who?” You’ve got Jim Lovitz, Jay Leno, Lou Black, Rita Rudner, Robin Williams, Don Rickles, Louie Anderson. It’s a great warm up which is followed by comedian Robert DuChaine.

Even before DuChaine leaves the stage, you may notice a slight, fidgety figure walking, pacing, moving about the room. It’s Bobby. Finally, he’s on, and boy is he on.

I don’t know how he can think as fast as he talks or keep track of where he is. Bobby’s act draws from his home life with his Asian wife and his daughter who is currently dating a man of color. Like he need more to fuel his routines. Bobby picks on blacks. It’s okay. He also picks on Asians, Jewish people, Mexicans, and surprise, surprise – gays. If you are offended by the word gay, stay away. Heck, if you are offended by anything, stay away.

On blondes, Bobby says, “All you need is a shiny object to distract them.” On Mexicans, he actually uses the word fat. Celebrities in the audience when I saw the show included comic David Brenner, adult film star Sunset Thomas, and 83 year old comic Sammy Shore.

Bobby remarked, “Sammy, remember when you were still alive.” I told you. No lines. You never know where Bobby will go next. It’s hard to tell if he does either, but the bottom line is he is hilarious.

If you want to laugh your F**ing A** off, get a good night’s sleep, you’ll need it to work your brain as fast as Bobby’s. In his own words, “It’s exhausting being me 24/7.” But it’s hilarious to watch him. Slayton’s show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $39.95 per person and may be purchased on-line at www.hooterscasinohotel.com or by calling 866-LVHoots.
