Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time

Jim Gaffigan Quality Time Comedy Dynamics, A Nacelle Company I wonder these days what the need is for a “Comedy Album” – given that we are inundated with Netflix specials; you can just watch those without really watching them for the album experience; you can put your headphones on and walk around with Netflix on […]

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio: Live at KEXP!

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio Live at KEXP! Colemine Records I loved the debut studio set from Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio (in fact I thought it so nice, I reviewed it twice!)

Judd Apatow: The Return

Judd Apatow: The Return Director: Marcus Raboy Netflix A huge part of the Judd Apatow narrative, one he’s constantly been pushing across the last decade in particular, is his “Comedy Nerd” persona – there’s a fair bit of proof there too, sure. At 15, he started interviewing legends in the game – but this comedy […]

Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame

Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame Director: Shannon Hartman Netflix Norton made his name on being filthy-minded, filthy-mouthed and relentlessly anti/un-PC – so if that sounds like the ultimate turnoff and nowhere near woke enough for you back away before entering. What Norton manages here, with this special is pretty brilliant – it’s one-note, he riffs […]

Louis CK: Live At The Comedy Store

Louis CK: Live At The Comedy Store Director: Louis CK louisck.net Louis CK returns with his latest comedy special, an hour of new material – by now among the many things he’s known and revered for is the fact that he turns around new material year in, year out. He won’t go on the road […]
