A 2022 Netflix stand-up comedy special hosted by Bill Burr. Guests include Jimmy Carr, Jeff Ross, Dave Atell and Josh Meyers.
Being a Bill Burr fan I had high hopes for this special. His previous Netflix specials have been great and surely this would be in a similar vein. Unfortunately, this special is nothing like those previous ones.
Firstly, it's not just Bill Burr: it's him hosting a bunch of other comedians. Some of the other comedians, e.g. Jimmy Carr and Jeff Ross, are pretty good in their own right, and if Burr is hosting this we should expect a similar brand and quality of humour to his, right?
Unfortunately, no. Bill Burr starts the trend with a fairly flat opening set, going in directions that were bound to polarise, if not disengage, the audience. The remaining performances are all largely unfunny, with the comedians going for shock value over humour. There's a reason many of them are unknowns...
Even Jimmy Carr resorts to one-liners with no connection between the individual jokes, though his one-liners are at least reasonably funny, elevating him above the pack.
The highlight would have to be Jessica Kirson's impression of what millennials sound like. It's quite hysterical but many viewers will miss it as they will have given up by then.
