Why is there no stand-up comedy? Is there something special equivalent to reading on the beach? We don’t recommend holding your smartphone in your hand and sunbathing, but it’s certainly possible. As more cartoons release the first specials developed in the pandemic, a new time harvest from veteran acts is ready to complement your summer vacation.
Nicky Glazer, “Good Clean Phils”
Wearing thigh-high white boots and a short yellow dress, Nicky Glazer looks as much a Bond girl as a stand-up. She doesn’t sell enough to teach sex. She clearly asserts her own sneaky jokes that fill the niche left by the poor work done by sex education and pornography. Employing her sister’s persona to level with you for a long time, she approaches a modern comedy update that talks norms about everything from anal sex to how to get a man, even Dr. Ruth and an old school women’s magazine. ..
A sly and skilled joke writer, she knows that sex jokes can easily laugh, so she makes transcendental jokes that seem difficult to pull off. She scatters the punch line with a light voice that moves from deep like gravel to squeaky sweets. She enjoys playing with words. She jokes about her vagina, she says. I call it my public place. “
And there is this jewel on male rationalization for dating young women. “According to all my 40-year-old friends, there is a youth epidemic with an old soul.” Her time can feel a little familiar beyond the realm she has already mastered. Meanwhile, near her is a quiet acting that acts as a callback, innovation, and laughter.
Bill Bar, “Live at Red Rocks”
Early in the pandemic, Bill Burr participated in Joe Rogan’s podcast, I entered about the mask.. Logan made fun of them as feminine and weak. “You’re very tough with an open nose and throat,” Barr snapped back with an additional curse and pushed Logan about turning medical problems into something about masculinity. “Why does that always happen?”
This viral moment revealed the gap between the two popular comics. In his podcast, Logan sells a particular ambitious view of masculinity, and on his stand-up, Bar presents a more tortured portrait, giving a voice of suffering to male resentment and phobia, and they. Expresses the destructiveness of. In addition to one of the great deliveries of stand-up comedy, this complexity is what makes Burr an attractive performer.
His messy, rambling, often cheerful new special bait feeds the audience every time. Like the Bruce Banner, Bar is worried about his temperament, which is what we came to see. And it could be the engine for some bold riffs that dig into both sides of the cultural war, even if it’s more lively and interesting than he’s chasing liberals. None of his many companions do this. There are no clichés about latte and kale here. Explaining the privileged white tweeter, which is Virtue signaling, he imitates and types, “My heart breaks on my L-shaped sofa.”
Burr repeats, but in the second special, he speculates that there aren’t enough men to cancel. His bit is more complicated than his actions. He closes something that isn’t as strong as the bit that came before. Emotional highlights sit awkwardly in the middle when choked to explain his self-loathing that he lost his temper in front of his daughter and fell into the same mistake his father made. I am. Bali, who unexpectedly bent over, was surprisingly emotional, his ferocious momentum disappeared, and his anger turned into tenderness. That’s the range that makes you think you have a protagonist in his upcoming great movie.
Fahim Anwar, “Hat Trick”
The lively, low-concept “hat-trick” pun, with flashy silly cartoons wearing backward-looking hats while playing in three different rooms at the Hollywood Comedy Store, is part of that only effort. Otherwise, another night at the club, the atmosphere becomes laid-back and unmanageable. You see introductions, deals with cartoons, and some of the drive homes. In the meantime, there are jokes about the most meat and potato stand-up comedies, such as dates, pandemics, weeds, and pornography.
Some of the styles here are comfortable. Anwar is one of the best physics comedies working in the club today, so he can pull it off. His acting is gracefully comparable to and outperforms Sebastian Maniskarco, whether or not he is a member of the Taliban using deer, dancing emoji, or hand sanitizers. Each of these works well with jokes. The only risk is that you look a little nervous. Therefore, the underrated style works very well. If you want to laugh a little but don’t have time to go to the club, this is enough.
Cristela Alonzo, “Middle Classy”
When Cristela Alonzo tells the story, she has a certain vague expression on her face, which somehow creates suspense: a wonder like a smile that doubles as an indignation. Somewhere between “Can you believe this nonsense?” And “What a world”. You want to know where she landed.
It’s part of her special fun for the first time in five years, and its highlights are sensitively observing jokes that explain the transition from poor growth to some success. Keep an eye out for the master’s story about her first trip to an obstetrician and gynecologist. Her fun comedy has a dark side in the subtext that shows around the edges of the joke. “I’m so smiling and not even happy,” she says along the way. “I’ve just fixed my teeth.” Flashing a sparkling dental treatment, she says it was expensive in a pointed way that made that fun look on her face look like a setup in return. ..
After saying he has never heard a strange woman complain about not being able to achieve an orgasm, Joel Kim Booster suddenly silences the applause with glare and raising his hand. “I don’t drop this down Craptor“He added sharply. For years, the booster, who has been celebrating a moment between this special and his new Hulu movie “Fire Island,” has brought the energy of club comics to an alternative room.
His stylish and entertaining debut can be divided into three acts. One relies on his identity as a gay Korean-American comic, the second is not, and the third focuses on sex. Throughout, he uses straight white men in the crowd as a foil for investigating issues of relevance and universality. He regularly talks directly to the camera and talks to the director about where to focus the camera. This is a fun tactic reminiscent of a show like “Fleabag”.
His formal device is clever and well integrated into the set — even if it’s ultimately based on a fairly traditional argument. His strength here is his powerful and captivating presence, and he understands that politics and sex are, among other things, powerful means of setting punch lines. After discussing Asian fetish racism, he said, “If you have an Asian fetish and you’re not particularly attracted to me, I think it’s a double racist.”
