Message: My wife and I along with 40 other friends attended Raymond's show Sat. April 17 at the Comfort Inn in Bartonsville, PA. This was the second time in about 6 months we saw him at a local comedy club & his show didn't change at all. As a matter of fact, his showed sucked even more. I sat right in front of the stage in a room of about 200 people but designed to comfortably seat 100, I was about 6" from the small "stage" and being 6'3" tall had nowhere else to put my feet but on the edge of the stage. That is until Raymond told me to "Get my fuckin' feet off HIS stage! That asshole should have been happy to have my feet on HIS stage, I paid my money to get into the show. The start of his routine he thanks everyone for a sellout crowd. If he is so fucking great, why isn't he selling out large venues instead of small, shitty comedy clubs? After the show (2 minutes after) our group was finishing up our cocktails when "Amish Asshole" came across the microphone telling us to get the fuck out, the ticket holders for the next show were waiting for thier seats. Well Raymond, you say in your routine that you left the Amish homeland because you suck at farming, in my opinion and about 40 others, YOU SUCK AT COMEDY TOO!! YOU'RE NOT AS GREAT AS YOU ARE HYPED UP TO BE!!

Message: HANK....I DON'T MIND IF YOU BASH ME BUT YOU HAVE SELECTIVE AMNESIA!
You have left out the part about the drunken ass at your TABLE,
who WAS PART OF YOUR GROUP, WHO WOULD NOT SHUT UP.
AND WAS CLOSE TO GETTING TOSSED.
Others from your group, apologized for him.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THERE WAS AT LEAST 12 NEW MINUTES OF COMEDY, JUST ON ME
MAKING A DICK OUT OF YOUR DRUNKEN FRIEND WHO WOULD NOT SHUT UP.
THE AUDIENCE LOVED WATCHING ME RIP HIM A NEW ONE AND ASKED IF IT
WAS PART OF THE SHOW. I also know of exact new comedy bits I
wrote that were performed in Bartonsville for the first time.
Granted, this is not a big venue to give a world premiere to a
new piece of comedy.
I also was asked by the comedy club to make an announcement for the early
show to clear out because you and your newly acquired leg room,
were not showing any signs of leaving. The actual
announcement was " Thank you so much for coming. we do have a
late show coming in here, so this is a polite way of saying,
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE" You chose only to
hear the GET THE FUCK OUT PART. Perhaps you only hear the last
half of a sentence and could explain why you missed a lot of my
new material. The announcement about leaving and the one
about your shoes on the stage, WERE JOKES.
I didn't realize that you were the official spokes person of the group. I
did notice on the comment cards that 87 people complained that they
felt the guy at the front table across from the drunken ass who
would not shut up, PROBABLY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH LEG ROOM.
PS. all comedy clubs that have a late show after an early show, need to have
the early show audience leave after the show, so that the wait
staff can clean up your tables and seat people for the late
show. Some people would view this as common sense and some
people need to be told.
YOUR ANALYSIS OF THE EVENING WOULD MAKE YOU AN EXCELLENT
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE!

Message: Raymond,
I must admit that the person, also a friend, at my table was being an asshole and I told him twice to shut the fuck up. As for the announcement to leave, maybe I did only hear the GET THE FUCK OUT part, but "showing no signs of leaving?" We (all six of us in the entire room) were standing ready to leave unaware there was another show. I don't claim to be the official spokesperson for our group, I am only relaying the displeasure they expressed while we gathered afterwards.
Most comedians, even headliners, like interaction from the audience. Maybe when you get your own HBO special you'll realize that the fans make the comedian not the other way around as you like to think. (Obvious by your "FUCK YOU, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT" reply)
Maybe I'll invite you to my inauguration at the White House after the election!
