    Kevin come on... It's 2023

    Kevin, I've loved your comedy for years but this latest production...Really? You're bashing men for having lactose intolerance? It is a real thing. Please don't perpetuate the myth that men are intolerant to physical ailments. Jesus Christ. We've come so far. Really, get a new schicht!

    Please don't do this to our society.

    I've stop following you. Please Kevin Jesus Christ. You should get it.

    I used to think you're funny, but not anymore! Society has changed for the better. I hope you can get on board and realize that.

    Disappointed to hear your latest comedy comments... I hope you're not doing this just to try to make money.

    Second half was funny

    The first half was not funny at all in my opinion. He seemed almost like hew as faking being mad for the sake of the routine. Also the joke all seemed worn out. Kinda like the jokes you make with your family but you know every other family has also already made them. I stoped about 25 mins in I think because I was not enjoying it. Went back today to finish it because I like completing shows, and it was much better. Second half was funny and he seemed to easy up on the pseudo mad attitude. If the whole show was like the second half, I would have ranked it and 8.

    HIlarious!

    I really liked this one. It was very funny. Being objective, I have to say that he lingered on some jokes too long but overall I was heartily laughing throughout.

    Definitely Not Outstanding - But Enjoyable

    In my opinion it felt like he didn't have anything drastically new or original so for the first half it felt like he was just trying to feel out the crowd - more than he was unapologetically slamming them with some humor.

    As I saw in some other reviews I have to agree that the second half was better and the improv-crowd comedy brought it home for a good close-out. In fact, the tattoo bits were probably my favorite.

    Not completely family friendly so I would screen it before watching it with your kids if that's one of your concerns.

    It was very close to a 6 for me but the ending gave it a little boost. As you can see from other reviewers the opinions widely vary so it really just depends on who you are. But the main consent is that it definitely wasn't a 10.

    Generic stand up set with some laughs

    My review may be biased because I'm not really a fan of Kevin James' TV or movie career, but I love stand up and figured I'd give this a shot. The jokes were pretty unoriginal, run-of-the-mill material I'd hear at any local dive comedy club. He jokes about being fat, men with food allergies needing to "man up" and (...honestly, I don't even remember much of the rest of his set) were all pretty boring and outdated. It was just generic. I did find the jokes about his kids to be pretty funny. I also enjoyed his crowd work (the bits about tattoos made me chuckle). However, I'm pretty sure his joke about his kid sneezing into his mouth was ripped off of Louis CK's bit about his daughter coughing into his mouth. If you're looking for some mildly amusing background noise, go ahead and put this on. Nothing special though.
