Aziz Ansari: Right Now

This was simply brilliant by Ansari. I've watched a few of his older stand-up specials and although they were on some parts "laugh out loud funny" - I also found them quite uneven in the material and the overall construction of an hour set.

Following his unfortunate and quite unfairly involvement in the #metoo allegations this special comes naturally with a sense of "elephant in the room" feeling. Aziz spares no time addressing it and gives an honest and heartfelt view of the situation that in payback set's up a deeper connection with the audience and provides an environment where he can perform his material with no restrictions.

Considering he's the main star of his great Netflix show "Master of None", it becomes an obviously ironic truth that's he's in real life actually now a "Master of his Craft". His social criticism ares as sharp and up to date as few other comedians manages and the way he transitions between the jokes and the more personal insights are really...well admirable actually.

If you enjoy stand up comedy, then this is a must watch! 10/10

It was lovely to see a comedian talk about mind-opening subjects, such as being completely present in each moment, especially the ones we share with out loved ones. I was also happy he mentioned some of the cognitive biases that shape our judgments and conclusions we make based on biased research. And finally, he is pretty funny.

I think Aziz fans, myself included, appreciate how he can tackle the current cultural climate and still be funny without being brazenly indifferent or overly sensitive. The same holds true for this special where he mixes a little self deprication with some good riffing/musings on experiences from his life and the odd cultural phenomena that's happening right now in 2019. The one thing that struck me that I wasn't expecting was how his timing and mannerisms definitely seemed a lot like Chapelle.. which isn't necessarily a bad thing.. just makes me think he's been watching a lot of Chapelle. Overall, definitely worth the watch, and I'm glad he has made a comeback after ordering the wrong kind of wine on that date. Well done, Aziz!

I've been a big Aziz fan, for a long time. Super talented guy. Great comedy. He's making amends for his mistakes. Ya gotta applaud that, but the low talking was really irritating. Aziz, if you are reading this, please refrain from whispering in your next special! I hope that Netflix picks up your show, again. Still, good stand up.

Nothing lengthy here, but this was something special. Aziz was very touching, humble.. yet hilarious. Thank you for making this. It meant a lot.
