John Anderson Wall Street Journal 07/09/2019
Mr. Oswalt is an amiable presence, a highly sardonic but fairly low-key comedian of the observational/confessional variety... What he's not is hungry. He exhibits little regard for comic timing. Go to Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club 07/09/2019

Throughout, both Oswalt's more angry, passionate pieces and his observational material are uniformly sharp and confident. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/09/2019
Oswalt is as much story-teller as joke-spinnder and this 2016 performance is rambling and discursive in the best sense. Go to Full Review Andrew Husband Uproxx 07/11/2019
Talking for Clapping is a gem. Go to Full Review Brett Smiley Thrillist 07/10/2019
The veteran tells the tale of the worst set he ever had, in Roanoke, Virginia in 1990. It's mostly been up from there, as the jovial-while-enraged Oswalt explains with a gift for storytelling and relatable punch lines. Go to Full Review Robert Ham Paste Magazine 07/09/2019
Oswalt knows how good he is at his job. Good enough to thread bits of sociopolitical commentary in among other material about his failings as the man of the house and a pitch perfect closer that tells of the worst birthday clown of all time. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
