Jimmy Carr: Funny Business – Stand-up Review

This stand up set was full of great short yet hilarious jokes and phrases. Jimmy Carr’s style was brash and harsh. He was very skilled with his delivery and abilities. During the show he used texts from the audience and really incorporated the audiences reactions to his set. He used the audience throughout his set, for his jokes and his success. The set was well written and well directed.

I would recommend this movie to any stand-up fan, and will rate it an 8 out of 10.

Kevin Nealon: Whelmed, but not Overly – Stand Up Comedy review

This show was very funny and the performer had great stage presence. He also knew his act very well and had obviously prepared it many a time before. This movie shows just how much of a well known comedian Kevin Nealon is with his mixed collection of interesting tales and comedic story lines. He also uses some very quick and witty tags that keep him known the world around. I think people who experienced this show live will leave with a great understanding that he has the delivery and power to make anyone laugh. Comedy is mostly about timing and Kevin Nealon knows where to use a punchline when, which is a very good quality for a comedian.

Overall this stand up was very funny, and I would recommend it to everyone. I would rate this stand up an 8 out of 10 for originality, wit, and complexity.

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex – Stand Up Review

This stand-up was very well directed and performed. Russell Brand was back to his grotesque sexual humor and well-spoken language skills. The way this stand-up was setup was slightly different, he was introducing how 4 leaders were like himself and how they helped mold the world into a better place during their time as leaders. This movie really shows that Russell has matured into a more rounded comedian. He has changed his stage presence and act to coincide with the ever-changing audience. This movie shows me that he is daring enough to change up his stand-up and try to make an impact in the world, like the leaders he chose did.

Overall I would recommend this to anyone interested in stand-up, and would rate it an 8 out of 10.

Demetri Martin Live (Netflix Original) – Movie Review

This stand up movie was very well performed by Demetri Martin and very well produced. Demetri Martin is a master of the one-liner and quick response jokes. He brings wit, sarcasm, and everything else to his routine. Each of his jokes have a sense of mastermind behind them. In his jokes he seems to be heightening the basics of human life and existence. His humor is dry and very fast paced. He can be seen as a highly intelligent play-maker and deliverer in the comedy world.

I would recommend this stand up special to any stand up comedy enthusiast. I would also rate this movie a 9 out of 10.
