Hilarity for Charity

I was really expecting to like it more. I love Seth Rogan. Pretty much all the movies he has been in were great. And it had so many big names in it. But it ended up not being all that funny.

The stand ups were good for the most part. I liked that they weren't too political. These days we get too much comedy on that topic so I am always happy to see stand ups with other kind of jokes. I especially liked Micahel Che, Sarah Silverman (I am impressed how she even put in a joke relating the topic of the charity) and Tiffany Haddish. John Mulaney was also good but I didn't laugh too much with him. Michelle Wolfe pretty much sucked.

The problem though is that stand ups were very short. And all the sketches in between were not funny at all. It seemed like they were just improvised and nobody bothered to edit them to make them funny. Even the ones including Sacha Barone Cohen and Jeff Goldblum left me unimpressed.

Still it is a great cause. I am glad they added some information on Alzheimer's to it. Hope more people will donate because it is one of the scariest things one can expect in old age.

It's like he had a party for his friends and sycophants and recorded it. Every character that walked off stage couldn't get out of there fast enough. Barely a handshake. Another example of crap people doing crap work, attaching it to a charity so they can feel go about themselves.

So,each comedian had about 5 minutes to do their thing. i've seen stand-ups do wonders with a mere 5 minutes,these guys however could not be bothered with bringing in their A material for this. in the end the only good thing was jeff goldblum. there's plenty of great stand-up comedy on netflix,this title however is not one of them.

Seth and his desperately unfunny 'comedian' pals need to get some self awareness, stat. This is embarrassing, pathetic and staler than three year old bread. I didn't laugh once. Seth & co: next time, please don't cobble together a terrible 'show' - just donate the money yourself and spare us all the disappointment.

Kudo's to them for doing it for charity. A lot of money was made that night. From people paying to leave early.

The funniest part was hearing from the audience how much they didn't enjoy the opening.
