A masterwork of storytelling and creative direction, with some exceptional skits and a poignant meta-narrative on isolation, mental health, and the pandemic, though a little lacking in Burnham's trademark stinging wit and wordplay.
Bo Burnham: Words, Words, Words!
Not much more than the CD, but well worth a watch if you love musical comedy.
Moments of sheer brilliance undercut by poor pacing, stilted delivery, and a lacklustre finale.
Ken Jeong: You Complete Me, Ho
A one-sided talk show routine turned into a comedy set. Not bad, just very self-centred and lacking structure.
Russell Howard: Recalibrate
A bit disconnected, but individual sections range from entertaining to outright hilarious.
Tim Minchin: So F**king Rock
An enjoyable but not particularly memorable live show from a brilliant performer.
Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark
Intelligent and hilarious comedy from a rising star.
