Rory Scovel Tries Stand-Up for the First Time

Rory Scovel is a not very funny comic who uses repetition and screaming in place of humor. He does have some bits that may cause a tiny smile, which means he is not a total loss. However, after about twenty minutes I had had enough and turned him off. If the show became gold after that, oh well.

Rory is a Top 10 comic working right now and this special proves it. Very unique in terms of modern comedy, very fun, great energy, i love the silly voices and different characters he does from time to time.

Unusual topics and bits that you don't see from a lot of comics today. Only downside for me would be the 10 minutes on politics, i don't like comics getting involved in politics too much, even though it was an election year.

Nevertheless, Rory is a great comic and definitely worth the money, and worth seeing live.

I think other people writing bad reviews just don't get him and don't get real comedy.

Peace out.

I have watched this 10, maybe 15 times and it's still insanely funny every dang time. I've had to pause and take a break because I'm uncontrollably laughing so hard that it's becomes a danger to my health. Rory is a goddamn genius and I everyone deserves to have this light in their life! Get into it!! This is my church and my therapy! Can't wait for the next one!

"Rory Scovel Tries Stand-Up for the First Time" is a masterclass on mesmerizing your audience. Rory is super loose, honest, and has a great command/even power over the crowd.

Joke-writing is not Rory Scovel's strongest suit - he shines as a clown/comedy performer. Rory is funny, authentic, and courageous on stage. He is fairly unique in his presence and his audience work. No wonder Rory Scovel has some serious superfans!

His ideas are often interesting and novel - I appreciate him daring to share something so out-of-the-box. I did not enjoy watching this special; however, I found it educational.

I almost turned it off after 5 or so minutes. The beginning is just a brutally bad open for an unknown (to me) comic. I'm glad I stuck it out, because there were a bunch of hilarious bits. It progressively got better throughout. The side segments away from the mic were stupid, but they almost always are in these stand up specials, so it might not be worth mentioning. He has a bit of a Jim Gaffigan vibe at times (voicing the audience schtick). He has a bunch of unique observations that are worth watching for stand-up fans. I'd pay to see him at a show now.
