Aziz Ansari: Right Now

This was simply brilliant by Ansari. I've watched a few of his older stand-up specials and although they were on some parts "laugh out loud funny" - I also found them quite uneven in the material and the overall construction of an hour set.

Following his unfortunate and quite unfairly involvement in the #metoo allegations this special comes naturally with a sense of "elephant in the room" feeling. Aziz spares no time addressing it and gives an honest and heartfelt view of the situation that in payback set's up a deeper connection with the audience and provides an environment where he can perform his material with no restrictions.

Considering he's the main star of his great Netflix show "Master of None", it becomes an obviously ironic truth that's he's in real life actually now a "Master of his Craft". His social criticism ares as sharp and up to date as few other comedians manages and the way he transitions between the jokes and the more personal insights are really...well admirable actually.

If you enjoy stand up comedy, then this is a must watch! 10/10

I think everyone knows, Aziz was in a very tough situation recently, and if he wanted his career to keep going, he was going to have to move carefully and considerately. This special is masterfully done, I saw it live and I loved it. Aziz shows himself to be humble and looks to have really grown from the incident, but other than that, this special is hilarious. Aziz focuses a lot on 'woke' culture and how it has changed the world. I think he has made the correct steps and I hope he jumps back into not only consistent stand up specials, but television too. Very very funny. 10/10

As a fan of Aziz from his work on Television such as Parks and Recreation and Master of None, I haven't watched any of his previous specials. Knowing the situation that he was involved in in the height of the "Me Too" movement, I was wondering how he would or if he would come back to television / stand up again and after turning on Netflix today I was surprised to see this stand up special.

I usually don't enjoy stand up specials as there are only a few comedians I would sit down and watch an hour + of so going in, I wasn't sure what to expect.

The director chosen for this special was in my opinion what made this special so unique. It's not filmed with multiple cameras, perfect shots, lots of lights and hd quality. Aziz chose to use about 2 camera men with rigs attached to them to be on stage / in the audience to deliver a very fresh take on a stand up special.

Comedy wise the stories told and the way he delivers them left me laughing and then he manages to take a moment from comedic, to heartfelt and beautiful with stories of his grandmother or reflections on life.

Regardless of what you may think of him after what he was involved in, I believe how he handles this special and explains where he's at in life is a perfect example of how somebody can change as a person and use their experiences to help others learn from their mistakes.

This is definitely one of the best stand- ups (if I can even put it in that category) I have seen in a long time and the different artistic direction with the overall message really makes this a great return for Aziz.

I think Aziz fans, myself included, appreciate how he can tackle the current cultural climate and still be funny without being brazenly indifferent or overly sensitive. The same holds true for this special where he mixes a little self deprication with some good riffing/musings on experiences from his life and the odd cultural phenomena that's happening right now in 2019. The one thing that struck me that I wasn't expecting was how his timing and mannerisms definitely seemed a lot like Chapelle.. which isn't necessarily a bad thing.. just makes me think he's been watching a lot of Chapelle. Overall, definitely worth the watch, and I'm glad he has made a comeback after ordering the wrong kind of wine on that date. Well done, Aziz!

A different side of Aziz Ansari's humour, which takes a little getting used to in the beginning but it's wholesome and funny. I really enjoyed the show. Stand-up comedy shows are often empty jokes strung together but this show is very different.

I laughed a lot and I was still thinking about a lot of stuff he brought up on the show. Big respect with the way he handled a lot of serious stuff and still made us laugh with him about it.

Glad to have Aziz back. Hope he books more shows and we get to see more of him!
