Shane Gillis: Live in Austin

I heard all about Shane Gillis before watching this and he certainly was held in the highest of regard by his fellow comedians - but he absolutely killed it with this. He has talent of CK and Carlin while being likeable and relatable. What a special and what a comedian.

I very rarely write reviews but I've watched this 5 times or more now. Such a great watch and most importantly it is funny, very funny. It is insightful but not pretentious and he has a great delivery but it is not overly polished. I love how raw it was, like actually being in a comedy club. Great length for a special too. Best special I've watched in the last 5 years. Perfect with its imperfections.

This is what stand up comedy looks like. Unbelievable special. I'm a huge fan of stand up and have been for years. Can honestly say I've never laughed harder at any other special than this. The fact that he doubts himself is insane. I will definitely pay to see him when his is in my area next. Great work Shane.

He's really funny, charming and has a lighthearted demeanor, so even when he says things that I'm sure the american left would consider "offensive", it's hard not to smile.

His stories are pretty unique too, aside from a tired tangent on american politics, of course, but he had a unique twist on that too, so it wasn't quite the eye-rolling material you'd expect. But it was the weakest part of an otherwise killer special.

But yeah, top tier comedian right there, and this special is one of the best of 2021 for sure.

Best of all, you don't need to subscribe to cancer like Netflix to watch this special, it's free on youtube, and it's better than all of SNL and most of Netflix's frontpage comedians combined, so be sure to watch it and show some love to this dude.

I was very surprised. Most comedians in YouTube are mediocre Gillis is original and very very funny. I hope he does Many more specials on Netflix and HBO too. He is not the usual liberal pandering dude who stays away from controversial topics. I am sorry he was cut from SNL. He would have been a breakout star. The part where he talked about his family was especially believable and something we can all relate to. He was consistently funny throughout the entire special. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Why do they require 600 damn characters in is review? Seems excessive...
