Review by ERIC CLOPPER

What I liked

Jon Schnitzer’s ‘Just the Tip’ brilliantly combines humor and insight, offering a hilarious take on the contradictions of a Jewish upbringing, the Middle East conflict, and circumcision. His witty storytelling and engaging delivery make this a standout comedy special.

What I didn't like

A bit more focus on certain anecdotes might enhance the overall impact, such as the artist’s personal relation with his own circumcision.

My overall impression

Jon Schnitzer’s ‘Just the Tip’ is a standout comedy special that dives into the contradictions of being raised in a religious Jewish household. With sharp wit, Jon tackles everything from the Middle East conflict to the absurdity of circumcision, framing it as genital mutilation with humor and insight. This hilarious and thought-provoking performance is one of the best I’ve seen, easily surpassing most Netflix specials. A must-watch for anyone who enjoys comedy that makes you laugh and think.
