    good like the old ones

    Russel Howard is one of the comedians that genuienly make me laugh. not because I am very dull or I hate comedy, I guess it´s just because I have a very specific kind of humor that makes me laugh. anyway, now about the stand up: it is like his old stand ups, it´s very funny if you ask me, but you can´t find it funny if you didn´t like his previous stand ups, but the difference with this one it also gives Russel Howard hour and his old show good news´ vibes, I guess because he talks more about some current issues, but he has a very optimistic approach on this kind of issues so after watching the stand up I didn´t feel like "uh this world is going downhill" , so it´s not a George Carlin stand up, you can relax and watch it.

    Needed very little recalibration...

    Russell Howard definitely has spark edge and twist. And he is a comedian that feels very naturally home on the stage.

    This show was rather diverse, because he gets around to a lot of different topics, ranging from personal loss, to easy pickings such as Trump.

    Russell Howard has good material which invokes some good and genuine laughs because the material is sharp, and his delivery is spot on.

    I was genuinely entertained by this show, and I am glad that I did decide to sit down and watch it after happening to stumble upon it on Netflix by sheer luck. "Russell Howard: Recalibrate" is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy stand-up comedy.

    British comedy

    Is apparently great. Had my doubts, but dude is funny. Maybe use subtitles if you speak American English. Great show Russell.

    Didn't know him, now I'm a fan

    Netflix is letting us know different comedians, gladly.

    This comedian was so funny, entertaing, with such a positive attitude and wise words to us all.

    Just 1 thing - I watched it at late hours and i had to be with the remote all the time to turn down the volume sometimes. Man, he is loud! Lol. But very very good.

    We all have platforms to post our own opinion and we usually abuse that "power".

    Be positive.

    Well played, sir

    First of all, I laughed so hard I had to pause the show several times just to catch my breath. Secondly, I just want to say that this was an extremely well put together show with a strong common thread througout the whole thing, a lot of important messages and beautiful personal, relatable stories. With a hint of madness I think we can all recognize in ourselves, he also shows empathy, understanding and intelligence by pointing out both what is wrong in this world and what we need to appreciate. To do this without being too dark, but rather leaving the audience with a sence of optimism and cheerfullness, is brilliant.
