This Is Art

What I liked

I loved Tony’s energy and charisma. It was very authentic and even endearing at times. The jokes themselves were killer—rapid-fire at times but also meandering, they painted a beautiful picture of Tony’s life and experiences in a way that balanced self-reflection and absurdity. I have not laughed so hard in a long time- it revitalized stand-up for me. The different formats of stand-up, the quasi-performance art aspects and emotional vulnerability made it feel less like a comedy show and more like what the title indicates: This Is Art

What I didn't like

why isn’t this shit on Netflix? Too funny for them? Maybe HBO? Regardless, give this dude a special because he’s funnier than 97% of the stand-ups I’ve seen on the
medley of Silicon Valley streaming services. I dare someone to cram this into an algorithm, and it will be better because of it.

My overall impression

Hysterical, clever, insightful, niche, political, meta, personal, emotionally-moving and thought-provoking.
