EDIT “Rogan admits early that he's not sober, although he operates in a high gear for a guy who's altered his brain chemistry.” – Thrillist Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Jimmy Carr: Funny Business (2016) EDIT “He's vulgar, lean, and British -- basically the anti-Jim Gaffigan. It's mostly funny, but occasionally the vulgarity seems designed only to be vulgar, rather than to draw laughs.” – Thrillist Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Jeff Foxworthy And Larry The Cable Guy: We've Been Thinking... (2016) EDIT “It's pretty much what you'd expect from the pair, which is great if that's what you want; otherwise, not much you haven't seen before.” – Thrillist Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Gabriel Iglesias: I'm Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry (2016) EDIT “Using a range of sounds and expressions, the comedian is like a one-man, live version of a Simpsons episode.” – Thrillist Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy (2015) EDIT “The crowd seems to enjoy her and maybe she's your cup of coffee, but this show went down like decaf.” – Thrillist Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Russell Peters: Notorious (2013) EDIT “Peters' accents and delivery are great... Most of the set you'll want to see his fastball; instead, he keeps throwing junk.” – Thrillist Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Russell Peters: Almost Famous (2016) EDIT “Peters is a seriously funny dude and talented accent artist, but his material in this special does a disservice to his capacity as a performer.” – Thrillist Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Michael Che Matters (2016) 100% EDIT “In this November 2016 special, the comic cleverly covers a range of social and political issues, like gun control, homophobia, and President Trump.” – Thrillist Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Cedric The Entertainer: Live From The Ville (2016) EDIT “Overall, it's an entertaining (get it?!) hour as the veteran comic/actor twirls riffs on Hollywood weight loss, attempting to decipher Snapchat, and Barack Obama's last days in office.” – Thrillist Jul 16, 2019 Full Review I'm Brent Morin (2015) EDIT “This is self-deprecating comedy at its best.” – Thrillist Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Neal Brennan: 3 Mics (2017) 100% EDIT “It's raw, different, and brave.” – Thrillist Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Bo Burnham: Make Happy (2016) 100% EDIT “Heavy on the song shtick, it's a "very planned, to the word, to the gesture" show, as Burnham puts it.” – Thrillist Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60 (2016) EDIT “The Saturday Night Live alum looks a lot like Shaggy and is just as funny as when you saw him last, whenever that was.” – Thrillist Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Bill Burr: You People Are All the Same (2012) EDIT “In a packed house at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC, Burr pushes the crowd's comfort levels with topics some comedians would consider untouchable. It's like an hour-plus therapy session, but with booze instead of a co-pay.” – Thrillist Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Tom Segura: Mostly Stories (2016) EDIT “The pot-bellied father-to-be jokes about obese people and his aversion to becoming the "fat dad." He's cynical, curious, and a bit twisted in this 75-minute installment of stories.” – Thrillist Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time) (2015) EDIT “Martin is like a comic IV with a steady drip of one-liners that bounce around topics. [Drip] fajitas! [Drip] No. 1 pencils!... Soft-spoken and dry, he's like a young Steven Wright who can also whip out a guitar and harmonica before it's all said and done.” – Thrillist Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Jim Gaffigan: Cinco (2017) 83% EDIT “Cinco might be Gaffigan's fifth-funniest special.” – Thrillist Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark (2017) 100% EDIT “Noah is at his best when conversing between a pair of characters he's playing, like when Nelson Mandela trains a young Barack Obama on how to speak like a future black president.” – Thrillist Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Colin Quinn: The New York Story (2016) EDIT “It's conversational, authentic, and funny, in Quinn's typical style.” – Thrillist Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Chelsea Peretti: One of the Greats (2014) 100% EDIT “Peretti delivers solid observational humor punctuated with even better timing.” – Thrillist Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers (2015) 100% EDIT “On stage, Jeselnik is an unapologetically offensive jerk. Maybe in real life, too -- but on stage, the hostility is so offensive it's funny. If you're down for vulgar that borders on obnoxious, look no further.” – Thrillist Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out (2017) EDIT “It's classic Burr, full of rage, exasperation, and that kind-of-deranged look on his face.” – Thrillist Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Mike Birbiglia: Thank God for Jokes (2017) 100% EDIT “A self-described "niche" brand, Birbiglia ambles around the stage and lands almost every joke while discussing "late people" versus "on-time people," the challenge of scratching an itch while handcuffed, and how he became a Muppets villain.” – Thrillist Jul 10, 2019 Full Review David Cross: Making America Great Again (2016) 71% EDIT “The show has its moments, but overall Cross meanders, and some of his darkness doesn't quite land with the audience.” – Thrillist Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping (2016) 86% EDIT “The veteran tells the tale of the worst set he ever had, in Roanoke, Virginia in 1990. It's mostly been up from there, as the jovial-while-enraged Oswalt explains with a gift for storytelling and relatable punch lines.” – Thrillist Jul 10, 2019 Full Review
