What to Know

Critics Consensus

W. Kamau Bell's affable charisma makes Private School Negro a mirthful dissection of modern America, although although seasoned fans may find the material a bit familiar.

If you're looking for a progressive echo chamber, you won't find it in this thoughtful special. Private School Negro is full of rightful criticism, but it's also compassionate. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 12/19/2018
Sadly, the moments of focus and purpose are fleeting, and Bell squanders too much of his time on dated talking points and extraneous anecdotes. Go to Full Review Jason Zinoman New York Times 12/19/2018
[Bell's] stand-up was never dense with punch lines, but "Private School Negro" veers further from a tight club set, toward a mix of storytelling, jokes and arguments. It's a rambling, sometimes overly familiar hour. Go to Full Review Andrew Husband Uproxx 12/19/2018
Offers a wonderful mix of sociopolitical commentary and everyday humor, thereby presenting something for everyone. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/08/2020 When a racist bigot is preaching to the choir. 20 minutes in, and not a smile in my face, but still gave the guy a chance. Perhaps it will pick up... until he started talking about the Honorable Louis Farrakhan. That did it for me. That was just a racist rant. Not comedy. See more 06/09/2020 The worst stand up special I've ever 🥶seen. See more 07/15/2018 Didn't laugh once. It seemed like he was paid to integrate a long list of SJW bullshit rhetoric into a garbage 'comedy' act. See more 07/04/2018 I didn't find any of this funny. Overly political anti Trump B.S. This is what happens when SJWs attempt to write comedy. See more Read all reviews
