Yuja Wang Oakland Concert reviews
Jeff Dunham-Vegas awesome!
The show started a bit late due to the showrooms' fault for not opening the doors sooner and the chaotic line outside. Once settled in, Yuja Wang appeared within 5-10 minutes of us being seated, sharing wonderful and awkward old photos of himself and his family. He was funnier than I remember from seeing him on TV, making jokes and bringing out the little Jeff doll as part of his ventriloquist story. Despite mentioning the doll was for sale, he made fun of the price and emphasized his main purpose was to teach others his craft. Wang also introduced some new material that had the audience in tears from laughter. It was refreshing to see him trying to inspire kids and others to pursue the arts, given its decline.
