Blind dates are hits or misses. Some end up becoming a fairy tale like that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Others are a total misfit with no attraction, connection, or vibe of any sort. And then some can evolve into a 30 year friendship like that of Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.

Since opposite attracts it's interesting that their blind date never made it past the first phone call. The mere mention of Cooper’s mom, the famed Gloria Vanderbilt, by Cohen sent the convo into a nosedive. But what didn’t birth love birth a close bromance that now has a touring show, AC2: Deep Talk and Shallow Tales, giving more insight into these two amazing men.

Cooper seems to always be the button up, direct, just the facts, newsman. While Andy is the fun and crazy guy that you want at all your parties. However, polar opposite their personalities maybe is the same thing that makes them have magnetic chemistry on stage. With some help from his “liquid friends” (drinks), Cohen brings life and energy to the stage and Cooper removed his suit to let his hair down.

Opening the show with a video montage of their lives from childhood to now the audience learns immediately about what shaped them into the men they are today. Cooper and Cohen then appear from behind the curtain, prepare a cocktail and the party is started. Encouraging the audience throughout the show to join them in their drinking fest, the two banter throughout the night with tale after tale that are mostly funny stories and comical jabs video highlights as backdrops to their stories. Topics of conversations range from Cooper’s first job and what events in his life made him want to be a journalist to Cohen’s interesting interactions with celebrities and why he can ask people the craziest questions. It is almost like the two are just sitting back in their living room hanging out and the audience is just outside the window peering in on their conversation.

I certainly don’t want to give away too much about the show. I think that is what makes the show more enjoyable if you don’t know the details. Just be prepared to laugh and have lots of fun. Cooper and Cohen really open up to the audience and you feel liked you are bonded with them at the end of the show. It was definitely an intimate night that wasn’t political. It was just straight fun, plain and simple. It is a show that you must see if it comes to your city or one near you.

When it is time for the audience to ask questions, there were no limits on what was asked. Cooper and Cohen didn’t really shy away from any questions. As you can imagine, a lot of the questions geared towards Cohen were about the Real Housewives or the possibility of a Real Housewives of Houston edition. Someone even asked if a particular guest, which Cohen quickly answered, ever aroused them.

At the end of the night, the crowd was left in stitches. I am sure they will return to Houston soon as they made it clear how much they love the city. Cooper has visited Houston so much that he has friends in the city. And Houston is growing more and more on Cohen with each visit to the point that he donned a Houston Astros shirt just to show his respect to the team for being World Series champs.
