Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy

I really enjoyed his latest special, and found it quite unique and funny. He focused on a truly fresh perspective- global, intelligent, clever and timely. Reading some of the reviews of people who panned it... I think it went over their heads. More, please.

I've been waiting for this special for weeks, and while I'm glad I watched it, I prefer his past work.

Ronny's performance is decent, but is not as harmonious, or humourous, as his previous Netflix special. To me his demeanor seems rather tense, frustrated at times, and in certain parts he's almost nervous. I laughed several times, but I also had several moments when I felt uncomfortable. I'm not easily offended, so I ultimately enjoyed the show, and I see myself watching more of Ronny's comedy specials if he releases them.

The whole time it just felt like rather than telling jokes, he was showcasing his anger toward anyone who isn't far-left. The material didn't exactly age well with the "science" either. I really enjoyed his 2019 special but this one just isn't it.

Reminiscent of Carlin & Hicks, Ronny Chieng's Speakeasy is a sharp take on life in a post-pandemic world, especially in the United States. Wielding a sardonic wit, Ronny shines a telling light on a societal illness - ignorance over information; those who vilify education, science, and take pride in their prejudices.

Warning to those who dare enter this comedic misanthrope's den, leave your egos at the door or risk insult and injury by the mirror's reflection.

On multiple occasions, he repeated the same sentence for too many times. I think the show would be better if it's not that repetitive. I like his previous special better.
