Jerrod Carmichael: 8 (2017) 100% EDIT “The 30 year-old-delivers his particular brand of edgy, Richard Pryor-esque commentary on the ins and outs of being a young Black man in modern America, but with an artful touch.” – Forbes Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Jack Whitehall: At Large (2017) EDIT “Whitehall's latest special combines the stand-up viewers are used to seeing with a variety of sketches and other spectacles, some involving-pyrotechnics.” – Uproxx Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Mo Amer: The Vagabond (2018) EDIT “Amer details the many (mis)adventures he experienced as an internationally-traveled comic in a post-September 11 world in his new comedy special, The Vagabond... Considering the genre, the majority of his stories are wildly hilarious.” – Uproxx Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Louis C.K.: 2017 (2017) 95% EDIT “Much like the new dress code, its final cut is polished to near perfection.” – Uproxx Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Jim Jefferies: Bare (2014) EDIT “Jefferies' comedy isn't just about politics - everything from fatherhood to granting an old friend a lifelong wish is included, and it's all wonderful.” – Uproxx Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive (2017) 83% EDIT “Tracy Morgan has always been this kind of funny, which is why the access this special grants us is all the more beautiful.” – Uproxx Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Jen Kirkman: I'm Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine) (2015) 100% EDIT “It brilliantly spins all five (observational comedy, dating, relationships, weddings, divorce and the single life) into a beautiful bit of storytelling that's rife with one-liners and devoid of mere complaints.” – Uproxx Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Marc Maron: Too Real (2017) 80% EDIT “Maron has figured out how to get "too real" and make us laugh at the same time.” – Uproxx Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Oh, Hello On Broadway (2017) 88% EDIT “Kroll and Mulaney elevate their show to something more than just mocking old people by refusing to adhere to a traditional format and letting things play out like an overly-long SNL sketch instead.” – Uproxx Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life (2018) 100% EDIT “The show format, the style, many of the premises and punchlines for the jokes they tell -- all of it is nostalgic. Martin and Short might as well embrace it, because their audience has.” – Forbes Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping (2016) 86% EDIT “Talking for Clapping is a gem.” – Uproxx Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers (2015) 100% EDIT “If you're feeling the need to laugh and feel slightly terrible about yourself, then Thoughts and Prayers is the comedy special for you.” – Uproxx Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Mike Birbiglia: My Girlfriend's Boyfriend (2013) 100% EDIT “... a deeply personal reflection that trades moments of complete sincerity for crazy, across-the-stage antics reminiscent of Sam Kinison.” – Uproxx Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Wanda Sykes: Not Normal (2019) 100% EDIT “There's something remarkably rarer, and rawer, about the way Sykes talks about aging in Not Normal.” – Forbes May 23, 2019 Full Review Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979) 92% EDIT “Set the blueprint for all comedy specials to follow.” – Uproxx Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Bo Burnham: Make Happy (2016) 100% EDIT “Manages to take on a darker tone while still making us laugh.” – Uproxx Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (2017) 78% EDIT “Bluntly honest about the difficulties of being brown in America without ranting about Muslim bans, Trump's presidency, and other obvious issues that have been touched on before.” – Uproxx Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Hannah Gadsby: Nanette (2018) 100% EDIT “She also claps back against the idols of her early life, men like Louis C.K. who've now become the problem. In other words, Gadsby's not holding any punches with this one.” – Uproxx Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Demetri Martin: The Overthinker (2018) EDIT “As always, audiences can expect lots of one-liners, drawings, and music, albeit with a new narrative flair.” – Uproxx Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Katt Williams: Great America (2018) 80% EDIT “The opening 12 minutes is especially considerable.” – Uproxx Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Holmes & Watson (2018) 10% 1/5 EDIT “Sony knew what would happen when this hit theaters. No word of mouth campaign, whether organic or engineered, was ever going to pop up to influence audiences for this lackluster comedy.” – Den of Geek Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Stan & Ollie (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The performances help make Stan & Ollie seem far better than it really has any right to be.” – Den of Geek Dec 28, 2018 Full Review W. Kamau Bell: Private School Negro (2018) 82% EDIT “Offers a wonderful mix of sociopolitical commentary and everyday humor, thereby presenting something for everyone.” – Uproxx Dec 19, 2018 Full Review John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous at Radio City (2018) 100% EDIT “In this new stand-up, Mulaney eviscerates pretty much everything (school assemblies, aging, manners, church) with his patented good-humored charm... In other words, Mulaney's at his best here” – Uproxx Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (2018) 60% 4/5 EDIT “The Grinch is an enjoyable and refreshingly unique Yuletide film in theaters crowded by Christmas movies.” – Den of Geek Nov 8, 2018 Full Review
