Drew Michael: Red Blue Green

I was not familiar with Drew prior to this, but saw the promos and tuned in. Not knowing what to expect, my expectations were low. This was such an epic blend of brutal honesty, hilarity and syndrome analysis, all contained in an effectively delivered, revelatory way. I'm so relieved to hear someone say these things out loud, in a spotlight as bright as an HBO special. I loved his disgust fueled rant on sycophantic suck up Jimmy Fallon, Every word of his observations on wealth, celebrity and fake sincerity about exposure to and a connection with the rest of us, from inside the moat, was divine. This was not yuk yuk comedy, but somehow, these deeply personal confessions were woven into a simultaneously thought provoking and very funny performance.

I can't refer to it as an "act". It was unlike anything I have ever seen, and I will watch for anything new from him as I seek and search for all he has done before. He won't be on The Tonight Show, but I don't watch and can't stomach Fallon, the effusive fountain of fawning flattery and fake infatuation.

What a wonderful hour spent with Mr. Michael. Painful at times, enlightening beyond belief, laughs galore, and long overdue truths said in a highly public place. I needed that. This was something other than just comedy. More of it, please. Drew ? Series ? Weekly show ? Become a rich celebrity, with a solid loving relationship and a family ? Could you cope with that ?

I'm blown away. Never heard of this guy and his takes on life really hit home. More than just comedy. This is real and will hit you in the gut and cause you to reflect on yourself especially the last five minutes. Highly recommend.

It's best to not know anything going into this. Just understand he's like an existential philosopher. You won't laugh every ten seconds. But when you do, it'll be worth it. And get to the end: it's all building to something.

I rated this based on it being a "comedy special" as it was advertised. I get that this is his art and expression... and that's fine, but this is definitely not good "standup". This is a man trying to conquer his perceived demons while attempting a few jokes. I didn't laugh once. Hope he gets better.

I didn't find this funny. Some parts were very awkward . Not sure if Drew is a new comic or what. The closer and the all men need therapy bit was the worst thing I have ever seen.
