Tom Segura: Disgraceful

I wasn't a huge fan of "Mostly Stories" and thought Segura might have lost his touch after three good specials in a row ("Completely Normal", "Thrilled" and "White Girls With Cornrows" are all great). Boy, was I wrong: With "Disgraceful" Segura comes back in full form and with more energy than ever. A lot of that energy might come from the weight loss win against that grease pile Burnt Kreysler. Segura continues to have a great track record and I'd heartily recommend the special to any comedy fan.

1/15/18. As funny as ever, Segura continues to entertain with good clean humor. I've seen his earlier stand-ups and he does not disappoint. This and his earlier stand-ups are worth catching.

The special got special attention because Tom made fun of not being able to use a derogative term for special/disabled people. I'm not repeating the word that starts with a "R" just in case people reading this flag the review because of that, but you surely know what I mean. Now whatever your stance on the use of the word is, will kind of define if you are open to Toms comedy. Or even if you feel this is comedy.

The special in itself is funny (again eye of the beholder), but it's not classic material. I generally like Tom, have seen him on a couple of talk shows and I like that he dares to not hold back any punches. So if you are easily offended, and I know I'm stressing that point, but I just want to make sure that you are not going to watch it ... if you are for obvious reasons, if you are not, don't expect it to be disgraceful either (well at times obviously). Neat package and good jokes

First off: Don't listen to these dumb comments giving Tom a freakin one out of ten. Like, are you joking me? Because he made TASTEFUL jokes about Downsyndrome and wasn't even directly making fun of them.

Anyway, that out of the way, he's found a way to do less and say more. What I mean is: he's more subtle and somehow more funny. His timing is masterful. His expressions are genuinely funny and truthful. His set is fresh af. I loved it. And I'm very critical of stand ups. It does help that I've been a Tom fan for years.

PS- He lost the weight! Yes!

This was a disappointing stand up, there were some good bits, but I found myself forcing laughs rather than coming naturally like his first two specials did. If youre new to Tommy Buns watch "Completely normal" and "mostly stories" theyre amazing.
