Oh, Hello on Broadway

My 2 favorite comedians at the top of their game! I'm not from NY. And not a Broadway fan. But I saw this show live and on Netflix and loved it both times! The humor isn't for everyone I guess, but it was 100% for me.

I tried to watch this, but it simply isnt funny to me. But that shouldnt hold others back from trying to enjoy it. Maybe this play is funny for elderly people? The audience was laughing, so they must have enjoyed it, right?

Technical details of this tv movie are mediocre: bad photography, mediocre acting.

I'm not really a Broadway person, but I love John Mulaney and Nick Kroll so I had to check this out. This show is absolutely hilarious. My friend and I were laughing the entire time. They make fun of a lot of tropes in theater which great. Their characters George and Gil are so funny. There are a lot of New York related jokes that probably make the most sense to people who are actually from New York, but I still found it very entertaining.

Full disclosure- if you don't enjoy Broadway shows, subtract one star from the rating, and if you don't live in New York, subtract another. The humor is unapologetically slanted to a New York theater audience, but it is, after all, a limited run Broadway show.

Mulaney and Kroll inhabit their characters so comfortably and completely that one tends to forget the men behind them. A two-hour show of self- absorbed, borderline delusional caricatures is so reminiscent of Steve Martin's early comedy that his cameo in the middle of the show feels like a foregone conclusion.

The jokes are fast paced but the premise never seems rushed. The performance is loose, but scripted and theatrical enough to feel substantial. I've watched it twice. Highly, highly recommended to comedy fans.

If you like John Mulaney's standup, you'll appreciate this show. I loved it!
