Neal Brennan: Blocks

I get this guy on so many levels. He's not afraid to tackle the 'taboo' subjects. He is intelligent, funny, and real.

I saw a 1/10 comment that basically invalidated his mental health struggles with the stereotypical "no idea" what true sadness and clinical depression is really like. It is a mental health illness. And the classic, "oh he's got money so that somehow he must be happy".

The last five minutes will be forever stored in my brain for myself, and for others that I see fighting this insidious disability.

Anyone who has somehow fighting the good fight, get them to watch this. To laugh in the face of diversity, is the best laugh of all. Thank you Neal.

It's hilarious but be prepared for it to also be touching and poignant- even a bit sad. But it's balance at its best bc it's perfect humanity. I've never seen anything like it. And I don't toss around words like 'brilliant' lightly. It's so human and relatable and supremely entertaining all at the same time. I'm a new fan and definitely one of his biggest! I don't know why IMDB is requiring I write so much more bc I feel I've said enough but here it is: it's absolutely fantastic so do yourself a favor and watch it!! It's so very great and different. You will laugh and come close to crying - or like me, find yourself wanting to call him to meet for a coffee and a chat.

I don't love Neal Brennan but this special is very good. I know he was a co-writer on The Chappelle Show and a huge influence on Dave Chappelle and this special actually comes through. If I didn't know that I think I might feel he was doing an impression. He talks an about himself, his life, and the patently obvious things about people and race that many other people are afraid to say. I like that bold and unapologetic nature. His discussion of the pitfalls of being Liberal or Conservative is very smart. That is actually the best feature of this special- he is smart and it is smart. Brennan has an odd demeanor but he does seem to have real and relevant insight into himself and into human interaction. I do recommend this one.

I dare say it was as enjoyable and thought provoking as Chappelle's special. Same high quality level. One of the best specials I saw this year. Unforgettable.

He has a great comedy mind and even though he calls it 'traumedy' the emotional parts are exactly what makes it unique. I am a big fan of 3 Mics and before watching this I was exactly hoping for something similar. Comedy plus emotional revelations I too can relate to.

Hands down this had some of the most original and funniest jokes i've heard in quite a while and the last part was so moving I am sure it'll stay with me for a few days.

Thank you Neal for your comedy and also for sharing these deeply personal moments with us.

Not only a hilarious comedian, but also a genius.

For people who get offended, Neal is someone who offends both sides of every debate, so you don't have to worry.

Not the funniest standup I've watched, but still the most satisfying. There;s something undesrcribable about it.

There is no standup I've ever seen that's more original than this and he's a class act. It may start slow but I 100% encourage you to hang on, this show did not disappoint me and will certainly not disappoint you.

Dont want post spoliers, bit his opinion on every topic is absolutely spot on. 10/10 would recommend this.
