Shane Gillis: Live in Austin

I heard all about Shane Gillis before watching this and he certainly was held in the highest of regard by his fellow comedians - but he absolutely killed it with this. He has talent of CK and Carlin while being likeable and relatable. What a special and what a comedian.

This guy is funny as shabang (can't swear). That's really all I want to say, but their telling me I have to use at least 150 characters to write a review. Brendan Schaub is the worst comedian ever, it'd be funny to see a bit about that.

I watched it multiple times eventually, like my daughter when frozen came out. As people said before, " is the special ready to come out?" or "people just want the cash grab and put our specials way too early"......the point is this special clearly needed to come out, hes been working the material and he killed it.

He's really funny, charming and has a lighthearted demeanor, so even when he says things that I'm sure the american left would consider "offensive", it's hard not to smile.

His stories are pretty unique too, aside from a tired tangent on american politics, of course, but he had a unique twist on that too, so it wasn't quite the eye-rolling material you'd expect. But it was the weakest part of an otherwise killer special.

But yeah, top tier comedian right there, and this special is one of the best of 2021 for sure.

Best of all, you don't need to subscribe to cancer like Netflix to watch this special, it's free on youtube, and it's better than all of SNL and most of Netflix's frontpage comedians combined, so be sure to watch it and show some love to this dude.

I very rarely write reviews but I've watched this 5 times or more now. Such a great watch and most importantly it is funny, very funny. It is insightful but not pretentious and he has a great delivery but it is not overly polished. I love how raw it was, like actually being in a comedy club. Great length for a special too. Best special I've watched in the last 5 years. Perfect with its imperfections.
