    Experience and Work Ethic Goes A Long Way

    I felt this was one of those specials where you didn't need to know the comic ahead of time to enjoy it. Bryan has had a long career in the world of comedy (sketch and acting), and it shows. He is sharp, witty, and goofy, but makes it all come together into an entertaining special. This was well thought out and prepared. I am looking forward to his next one as they continue to get better.

    Better than a lot of Netflix specials

    Its a shame Bryan Callen doesn't get more attention as a comic.

    This special is definitely worth your time! It manages to be heartwarming, endearing and hilarious.

    Excellent

    Thoroughly enjoyed it. Only wished there was more to experience.

    Not sure why I waited so long to watch.

    I'm embarrassed I watched schaubs so called "special" before this one. Callen is underrated as a stand up comedian. He def needs to help his boy out. Worth the watch.
