I've been a fan of Mo for a few years now, originally watching his short bits and characters on Instagram develop over time. Mo has always been hilarious to me as I felt all his sketches were on point and extremely relatable, and relatable to his environment. I was excited when I saw he had a Netflix special coming out as my partner and I have been trying to get tickets for his sold out shows for a minute and now was finally the time I could watch one of his shows, however we were both left feeling a bit disappointed. It was a funny show, we did have a few laughs here and there, and some points really hit home. However we both felt like the content in the stand up was watered down for Netflix and not his true comedy. It was definitely reminiscent of his sketches and even some voices etc were definitely taken from his Instagram characters, but the jokes just weren't hitting right. It basically felt like he'd used a PG version of his humour for his Netflix special so that he could appease a larger audience and maybe attract new eyes. This is definitely understandable, he's just trying to expand his fan base and create a bigger name for himself, I would just hate to see him try to fit in too much and become a washed down comedian. Can also imagine going from 60 second insta vids to a whole hour special is naturally going to be different and challenging for him, but we just want him to stay true to himself.
