What I liked

The jokes-per-minute rate in this show was incredible. I really couldn’t believe how many laugh lines were packed into the tight 60 minutes. In fact, some of them were so rapid that I am considering seeing the show again just to try to catch the very rapid visual jokes that I missed (the speed of which was a joke in and of itself).

What I didn't like

This is minor, but there were a couple moments where the music was just a little too loud, making it difficult to hear the spoken lines. The room was small enough and I was in the front row so I could still tell what was being said, but that really was the only element of the show that momentarily took me out of the engrossing and immersive experience of it. The jokes were all so good that I didn’t want to miss a single one due to the audio.

My overall impression

This show was really impressive. It was a very polished tight comedy presentation that I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see as a Netflix comedy special. I have found myself reciting some of my favorite lines over and over since seeing this show. I have not stopped thinking about hilarious lines like “guns are the bullets of metaphors” – so much so that I think I may even be making sense of the nonsense the more I think about it. The fact that practically every line of this show feels like a throwaway joke while standing out as being extremely well-crafted just goes to prove that the writer/star of the show is so talented that he could treat comedic gold as trash – nothing is sacred, not even his own writing. That causes the tone of the show to somehow very loose and casual while being very tight and surgically precise.
