Russell Howard: Lubricant

This was brilliant and hilarious. Nuff said. Ignore the bad reviews. Its just angry mentally unstable anti-vaccine ramblings. Conspiracy theorist be crazy as always.

I have been watching his political satire recently. I was surprised to find a British person doing the same thing Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah do on a regular basis.

My Japanese partner thought this live was funny too. I could see her giggling via the subtitles.

Just look at the rating, 7.0 and thought it was low then saw all the anti-vaxxers and Yankee Republicans in the reviews going on about the lamestream media and propaganda. Basically Trump supporters that are all pissed off with someone who believes in science. I think he mentions vaccines for 2mins at most, then its onto what idiots we Brits can be, and how to laugh at yourself and laugh with your family.

From these reviews, people clearly didnt get it and cant laugh at themselves.

While I am not overly familiar with the work of Russell Howard, I do believe I've seen one or maybe two of his previous shows. So as I stumbled upon "Russell Howard: Lubricant" here in 2022, whilst browsing through the stand-up comedy section on Netflix, of course I opted to sit down and watch it as I do recall him as being a funny comedian.

And yeah, memory served me well. Russell Howard definitely in a funny comedian, and I just love the energy that he has while he is on the stage.

The contents of the show is definitely well-written, and it is material that differs greatly in topics and contents. So there is a good chance of there being something for just about anyone in the audience. I was genuinely entertained by "Russell Howard: Lubricant", from beginning to end.

If you enjoy stand-up comedy, then "Russell Howard: Lubricant" is definitely a show that is worth sitting down and watching. Good comedy, great laughs, and just all-round enjoyable show.

My rating of "Russell Howard: Lubricant" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

I was really excited to see this, but sadly all his jokes and even the delivery was exactly the same as he had done when they were said on his Russell Howard hour tv show. If you've seen the tv series, then don't bother with this, as you already heard it all.

This was a joy to watch, and an incredible advocacy for laughter, empathy and making jokes as a glue for living together.

Don't pay attention to all the negative reviews. Somehow, they prove Russell Howard's point. They are the ones complaining that they can't say anything anymore and that cancel culture is ruining everything, yet they are the ones who come here trying to cancel someone they didn't like. With fire in their bellies and the righteousness of someone feeling it is all owed to them.

Instead, go and enjoy this pearl of comedy that, hopefully, will open the valve of exhaustion from having to deal with this long pandemic, as it did for me.

This is the relief I never knew I needed. And a reminder of what brings us together.
