Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life

Zzzzzz is it over yet ???? I really wanted to laugh and was just waiting for something funny but it just never came though out the whole show, I mean it sounded like he was just talking about his own life experiences and don' t know who would find this funny maybe the Americans do but felt most of those laughs we're out of pity really (Ahhh look at the cute British guy trying to be funny !) Even his punch lines were miss timed and the jokes were long forgotten by the time they came. I don't know who wrote his material but I would have actually been embarrassed to repeat it in front of a live audience.

The special was delightful! My husband and I laughed out loud repeatedly. We truly enjoyed it. Lots of great topics covered in a funny way. I went into this thinking, "Man, Brett seems like a guy I could have a beer with" and I still feel that way afterwards. Loved him in Ted Lasso and Shrinking, loved him in this.

Reporting the review to meet the character minimum. The special was delightful! My husband and I laughed out loud repeatedly. We truly enjoyed it. Lots of great topics covered in a funny way. I went into this thinking, "Man, Brett seems like a guy I could have a beer with" and I still feel that way afterwards.

Loved him in shrinking, He can play pure emotion and sadness. Loved him in Ted Lasso as Toy Kent. He's funny angry but thoughtful. All that and comedy stand up. He's brilliant! I would love to see more acting from him. He's already shown a wide range. He'd be scary in a thriller. Can't you see him menacing someone or perhaps an entire city with those world class caterpillars he sports for eyebrow? He's the whole package. Give him a break all you haters on his first comedy special. It's not like he wrote it all. He has a bright brilliant future and I for one look forward to seeing more of anything from him.

Brett Goldstein is definitely better suited to playing the moody handsome guy in comedies like Ted Lasso. Whilst his stand up wasn't awful, I laughed out loud in a few places, most of the jokes were "I'm British and America is strange, please laugh with me". He also did a few self deprecating jokes and briefly talked about his time on Ted Lasso. Then there was a strange bit at the end with some puppets that made absolutely zero sense other than he had a brief story about his time on Sesame Street.

So, if you're into that you'll enjoy it, just don't expect to be crying with laughter the whole time.

This was like a person deciding to do his first open mic night at a comedy show because of the pressure of his friends to get up there and give it a try. It fails miserably. Not a single funny moment throughout the entire hour. It just dragged on, while I waited for a good moment to arrive. The jokes were unoriginal. There was nothing creative or unique about it. Just a British guy pointing out the strange aspects of America, throw in a few self deprecating reflections, add a little sex, loop back around to a recurring theme that gets you minimal laughs. There are so many good, original, hilarious comics out there. This is undeniably not one of them.
