Hilarity for Charity

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.

Just finished watching Hilarity for Charity. I wanted to like this so badly.. it's a great cause and line up, but it definitely didn't live up to its potential. First off, the audience was so stiff!! If we felt the tension at home, I can't imagine how the comedians felt. I realize this was for charity so it was a different audience than who you would normally see at a comedy show, but I didn't feel like they enjoyed the event.. at all. The show was kind of a weird mix of raunchy comedy, family-friendly singing (with the muppets), and information about Alzheimers. The comedians were great, I just wish their segments were a longer without all the randomness in between. I did laugh (thank you John Mulaney), so I think it was worth watching, but definitely not my favorite Netflix special.

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.

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.

I'm a big fan of Seth, his movies and his crew so I was ready for some off beat, dark humour. But this wasn't even funny. Ended up turning it off. Not even the promise of Jeff Goldblum kept me in.
