I'm always looking for stand up comedy, and there's obviously plenty of it to be found. The problem is finding GOOD stand up comedy. And when I started watching "Here's everything" I wasn't too impressed. Another crude comedian, using too many curse words, nothing new here! But out of curiosity I kept watching anyway. And then something started happening, somehow I started to hear the humor beneath the jokes, if that makes any sense, and it made the jokes hit that much harder. Velez is a master at telling a joke while saying very little; but after a while of watching him it's obvious it is coming from a much deeper place.
Velez' comedy chops are second to none, his timing is impeccable, and he's good at it... he never makes the mistake of laughing along with the audience at his own jokes, the way too many lesser comics do. I started watching this hour long show expecting very little but wound up somewhat impressed by Ricky Velez by show's end. He's a very talented guy and one only hopes some TV or movie director can make a production that shows his true comedy talent.
