I've seen quite a lot of his stand-up comedies and I've always been entertained by them. I like his style, his sense of humour, not afraid of self-deprecation, his raunchy dirty jokes. I tried watching his weekly show, The Jim Jefferies Show, which I found okay but not great. His weekly show was just too much reading the autocue, didn't look natural, and that's the big difference with his stand-up comedies that are so much better. High & Dry brought a constant smile on my face, exactly the kind of show I was expecting. Jim Jefferies should just stick to what he does best and that's on a stage in front of an audience.
I really wanted to like this special because I've watched all of Jim Jefferies other specials, and this one was frankly underwhelming and difficult to stay engaged. There were a couple of good jokes throughout the special, but ultimately many of them were drawn out. He often uses just the sheer volume of his voice to make a joke, but just being loud doesn't necessarily make you funny. Overall, I do appreciate Jim for sticking to his original shtick of self-deprivation and raunchy comedy, but this show is probably best viewed in person. I don't want to be too overly critical of a comedy special, especially Jim Jefferies, as I am a fan, but I would probably skip this one.
I like Jim Jefferies, he seems to have some solid material. The main flaws I see are a weak second half and really weird pacing. Jim Jefferies has a tendency to overextend jokes well past their welcome (could be to being on the spectrum, which from experience makes it hard to move on to the next subject without finishing the first), and that seems to be especially prevalent in this one. There were some really solid jokes in here, like the Koala bear one, the Bachelor, the Swedish babies, and a few more. These jokes are solid dark humor, yet Jefferies decides to spend almost half of the special about his sex life with his wife. First off, nobody needed to know about all of that, he got way, WAY, too descriptive. Second, too long with little laughs. It was just 15-25 minutes of pure low brow humor with no clever twist. Overall though, this is a special worth watching, except you may want to skip the bit about his sex life.
Not sure why there's so much hate. I loved Jim's old specials during the "Legit" era, then he got that comedy central show... That was a rough era and I wasn't enjoying much of what he was putting out, it felt like the comedy was restricted. This special feels like he's going back to the crass style of comedy that got him famous! Doesn't feel like he was pulling punches or over politicized the special. While there are bits about current social issues, they don't feel incredibly pointed or like he's trying to get a message out of them. It feels like a talented writer making jokes about modern society. Great to have ya back Jim! Keep this up!
Of course I had to sit down and watch the 2023 stand-up comedy special "Jim Jefferies: High n' Dry", as I stumbled upon it. I didn't know about it, prior to getting to sit down and watch it. But then again, I am not really keeping up to speed with upcoming comedy specials.
I have seen a couple of older shows from Jim Jefferies, and I have to say that the 2023 show "Jim Jefferies: High n' Dry" wasn't his best of shows. Sure, it was watchable, and there were some funny moments, but as a whole set, then it just felt a bit flat and as if he wasn't running on a full tank.
Some good laughs here and there, but the show was just somehow lacking that special spark of energy that Jim Jefferies usually have shown in previous shows. Don't get me wrong here, though, because I am not saying that "Jim Jefferies: High n' Dry" is a bad show, far from it. And I am sure that fans of Jim Jefferies will get a kick out of this 2023 special.
My rating of "Jim Jefferies: High n' Dry" lands on a five out of ten stars.
