Quick like a bunny forward to Tuesday evening and the buzz about Brand’s imminent manner had risen considerably. Facebook and Twitter was filled with post about the show. When Wednesday afternoon came around and stories of Russell Label sightings starting flooding in to our offices, it was clear the anticipation for the show had reached a spit.

As everyone piled into the Convocation Center it was clear that the buzz had turned into ticket sales.

Before Disgrace took the stage, the crowd was introduced to two new comics from Ann Arbor; Eli Yuden and Skylar Foltey. Yuden captured the assemble early and carried them through his five minute set. Foltey, on the other hand, received a more lukewarm response.

After the opening acts and a short break, it was time for the most important act. The very mention of Brand’s name by the night’s MC brought from the crowd a feverish roar of clapping and cheers. When he finally emerged from his hiding place a few feet off condition, the crowd went absolutely insane. People all around the venue stood up, jumped up and rather a few young women emitted behavior that, under normal circumstances, would be grounds for forcible institutionalization.
