Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer (2023) 20% EDIT “Between the hacky, tired jokes and the long-form storytelling nature of the show (a staple of this mid-career Chappelle), there are few laughs to be had.” – Pajiba Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Michelle Wolf: Joke Show (2019) 100% EDIT “Wolf's jokes are great, but her real secret weapon is her shrill voice... Like a talented musician, she's an expert who knows how to best utilize the specific tones of her instrument, varying her volume and cadence as she delivers her punchlines.” – Pajiba Jan 7, 2020 Full Review John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch (2019) 96% EDIT “The special combines everything that Mulaney is good at - dry jokes and asides, writing... catchy, entertaining musical numbers, and his performative earnestness that pairs shockingly well with a cast of absurdly talented children.” – Pajiba Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America! (2019) EDIT “Chieng is able to play with stereotypes and walk right up to the line of what might be considered offensive, but he knows where and when to pull back and release the tension with the punchline.” – Pajiba Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Ilana Glazer: The Planet is Burning (2020) 71% EDIT “Glazer's special feels undercooked - as a comedian, she's still searching for a point of view beyond such hard-hitting material like "the old men in Washington are bad, but the youth are good".” – Pajiba Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones (2019) 42% EDIT “Sticks & Stones leaves the audience with the sense that there was more work to be done before the special was filmed.” – Pajiba Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Sarah Silverman: A Speck of Dust (2017) 100% EDIT “Instead of running at you full speed, forcing you to reckon with how funny she is, Silverman's jokes feels effortless.” – Pajiba Jul 12, 2019 Full Review John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid (2015) 100% EDIT “It's sharp and intelligent and whips along.” – Pajiba Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Mike Birbiglia: Thank God for Jokes (2017) 100% EDIT “This special is so comprehensive that it is somehow perfect, then, that the real topic of Thank God For Jokes is the very idea of jokes themselves, and what it means to be a comedian.” – Pajiba Jul 8, 2019 Full Review Ken Jeong: You Complete Me, Ho (2019) 38% EDIT “But perhaps the most frustrating thing about You Complete Me, Ho is that there is a thread, a hint of a throughline, that, had it been workshopped and honed and sharpened, could have brought the house down.” – Pajiba Feb 26, 2019 Full Review
