Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian

It was intelligently written to show us our true selves... All the negative comments are from people it hit too close to home with. The special was funny but also serious. Truth hurts when you can't come to terms with your own short comings.

A short special, but great. Very intimate. A lot of serious points punctuated by jokes, a different vibe from a lot of stand-up. A lot of pandemic-related jokes, so I wouldn't blame anyone who wasn't interested in hearing more of that, but I thought it was very entertaining.

I volunteered at Rape Crisis for several years in the 1970s, and tend to fall into the "believe the woman camp." However, after reading her account and his account, I did believe her. What I didn't believe was that it was sexual harassment or rape. What I believed is that two young people didn't communicate very well, and Ansari paid the career price for all the other men who did sexually harass and rape.

Maybe one day our culture will get this right.

Anyway, I was happy to see Aziz back and funny, I have missed his comic voice and the intelligence in his act.

The standup wasn't terrible, but the continuity bothered me to the point of not being able to really get into it. Seeing 3 different people in the same seat stage left throughout different jokes. Very distracting.

It's pretty spot on and sweet. The part about Timothee bubble tea is so good! Some reference I don't get cause I'm not from America. Also the part about vaccination can be shortened. This man has the power of being genuine and moving even in a stand up setting. His old footage is sooooo cute. Should this show was longer tho.
