Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian

A short special, but great. Very intimate. A lot of serious points punctuated by jokes, a different vibe from a lot of stand-up. A lot of pandemic-related jokes, so I wouldn't blame anyone who wasn't interested in hearing more of that, but I thought it was very entertaining.

Half an hour of Aziz is better than no Aziz so I'm overjoyed at this. It was great hearing his take on what life has been for what is now going on three years. I also like that his material is getting an even more poignant edge to it. He had a bitin his last special about family and how infrequently they are seen and it immediately made me rethink how often I should see my aging parents. As great as his comedy is, that moment has done more for me, and I hope many others who maybe never would have thought about it in the way he presented it. And there is a bit more in this special but I'm not going to give away anything to ruin hearing it from the man himself.

An existentialism night with Aziz who has stepped back to observe and then deliver his verdict to us mere mortals, but all with laughter intact and food for thought.

Always love the serious side to a comedian, and Aziz did have some valid points of what is so screwed up with this world without talking down to you. The maturity of an artist is always frowned upon by followers who prefer the artist to remain the same, like a favorite beverage or food. Sometimes the artist needs to also mature with their work, and Aziz is heading in the right direction...

The standup wasn't terrible, but the continuity bothered me to the point of not being able to really get into it. Seeing 3 different people in the same seat stage left throughout different jokes. Very distracting.

This is a low production, almost impromptu recording of Aziz doing 30 min at the Comedy Cellar in NYC. What makes it worth it is that this time Aziz gets personal, authentic, and genuinely thoughtful about the how the world has broken down since the days of flip phones and Nokia bricks, all the while staying light, clever, and often times hilarious. Definitely worth the watch.
