Kevin James: Never Don't Give Up

In my opinion it felt like he didn't have anything drastically new or original so for the first half it felt like he was just trying to feel out the crowd - more than he was unapologetically slamming them with some humor.

As I saw in some other reviews I have to agree that the second half was better and the improv-crowd comedy brought it home for a good close-out. In fact, the tattoo bits were probably my favorite.

Not completely family friendly so I would screen it before watching it with your kids if that's one of your concerns.

It was very close to a 6 for me but the ending gave it a little boost. As you can see from other reviewers the opinions widely vary so it really just depends on who you are. But the main consent is that it definitely wasn't a 10.

My review may be biased because I'm not really a fan of Kevin James' TV or movie career, but I love stand up and figured I'd give this a shot. The jokes were pretty unoriginal, run-of-the-mill material I'd hear at any local dive comedy club. He jokes about being fat, men with food allergies needing to "man up" and (...honestly, I don't even remember much of the rest of his set) were all pretty boring and outdated. It was just generic. I did find the jokes about his kids to be pretty funny. I also enjoyed his crowd work (the bits about tattoos made me chuckle). However, I'm pretty sure his joke about his kid sneezing into his mouth was ripped off of Louis CK's bit about his daughter coughing into his mouth. If you're looking for some mildly amusing background noise, go ahead and put this on. Nothing special though.

If you liked king of queens you will like this. Worth a watch.

4/29/18. This was ok for a stand-up comedy show. Not very original, but the humor was clean and not offensive. I like him better in movies.

This was..... not good, I was having really bad anxiety and I wanted something to distract me. This title caught my attention, I love Kevin James... but I sat there and just kept waiting for it to be funny... and it wasn't. I couldn't even watch it all the way through it was just so uncharacteristically boring, and I truly wish I had good things to say about it. Absolute dud as far as I'm concerned. I would rather see him slow dance in the Hitch film and show off his fancy dance moves. At least that was funny. Kids shuffling slugs ipad lazy, etc. Everything they show in the previews is pretty much capturing the gist of this show. Love Kevin James but this is hardly a 2/10 and that's being generous.
