Jack Whitehall: I'm Only Joking

I enjoyed this Jack Whitehall special a lot more than his previous At Large.

It was pure standup, and I felt Jack maintained his energetic flamboyant style of comedy, without going over-the-top or descending into James Corden-like theatrical cringe.

I laughed-out-loud numerous times, though also felt numerous jokes didn't land. He tied material together effectively. The biggest laughs came from stories about his father (Michael Whitehall) and an interaction with audience members though - which is perhaps a sign he needs new material.

At times, jokes and lines felt almost "too rehearsed" or delivered - but this was only a small slight. I wanted to laugh and I did, so was worth the watch!

Father Whitehall's appearance in a Ukrainian hospital at the end was worth sticking around for.

Having seen all his specials and seeing him live just before Christmas he is certainly funny but I must have heard half of this material 3-4 times before by now. Very little new and original material seems he's just coasting by the last year or two!

The show starts relatively well but descends into a stale repetition of old material and far-fetched stories who's punchlines fall flat.

I am a big fan of stand-up comedy, but this special felt forced and contrived. Only mildly entertaining at its best moments. He just couldn't set the hook. I've seen funnier material at Open Mic nights. I'd give this one a pass.

Another excellent standup from Jack! I loved it from start to end and he kept my husband and I laughing all the way. I thought it was very on point with current times but never losing his London/posh angle, which I adore! Definitely a favourite and have recommended it to family and friends for an easy, funny night in!
