Neal Brennan: 3 Mics

My buddy, whose opinion I respect, ,sent me this and was raving so that was my expectation. I was underwhelmed at first. There was also the Hannah Gadsby comparison for the content, which was unfair because it came out before Nanette. So after stopping it and allaying that last bias as well as lowering my high expectation I went back to it; and it had some funny parts.

His personal narrative was the best part as well as offering up the funniest lines. It was never boring, just some of the jokes seemed a little cliche or low effort. His switch from personal story/anecdotes to one-liners was a little off-putting at first but by midway a flow had been developed.

Is this a constant flow of snickers and guffaws, no, very few are,, but it's darn insightful, funny and enjoyable to watch all the way through and I recommend giving it a go. I like the dude and look forward to hearing more.

In case you haven't heard of him before this like me, he was a writing partner with Dave Chapelle for the Dave Chapelle Show. But he stands on his own completely! (You really do, Neil.) Great work!

Beautifully done with comedic relief. I respect Neal so much more now, he is talented and has a good pure soul.

Neal Brennan has a rare talent to make a large room of people laugh when necessary... or sit in silence, not sure to weather to cry... or just empathize with him.

Most of us probably watched this in the comfort of our homes, but that didn't lessen the pure impact of his message, and the heart behind his humor. I did NOT expect to receive that from a comedian I've never heard of before today.

Within the last ten minutes of the show, I was in tears. The subject matter he covers in the last bit is so brutal, and hard to listen to, but I think the reward is to know that he is who he is today because of it.

I don't know what else to say without giving anything away except... go watch it! See for yourself. The very idea of 3 microphones was brilliant, and frankly kept me guessing a few times to see which mic he was going to go to next after the lights went out. It puts a nice twist on the "One Man Show" Concept.

I certainly hope this guy builds a larger following. The more people who watch this will understand where I'm coming from. I've been deeply impacted by this, and I hope I'm not alone on that.

Easiest way to say it. Neal is a damn genius. And if you don't get it you are the idiot his joke is about and the problem with society. I want to marry this man and I think marriage is a sham.

Such a different special... Loved all of it. Idiots giving this a low rating are exactly that....... IDIOTS. I spent the majority of this laughing or thinking..... or both!
