GGG: One Night Stab

I was so pleased to be invited to be an online screener of this movie. Gerald Gerald Geraldson is a disturbing and fascinating creature. One could argue that every comic is portraying a character onstage. This stage presence can be very close to the actual personality of the artist. Sometimes the character is extreme - Emo Phillips springs to mind. In the case of Gerald Gerald Geraldson, both the character and the material are strong indeed. Geraldson's comedy is comedy delivered by a sociopathic killer, which means sometimes it's not all fun and games. Geraldson is so committed to his character he is fun to watch no matter what's coming out of his mouth. And sometimes that's blood.

Every so often, the standup set wanders away from the funny and into the downright disturbing. Occasionally it's more about revealing the depth of Geraldson's character rather than tickling your funnybone, and sometimes it's more about ripping out your funnybone and ramming it down your goddamn throat, which should delight fans of the horror genre. SEE THIS IF YOU LIKE HORROR MOVIES.

The standup set is broken up with filmed sketches, and some interstitial close-up one-liners for transitions. The sketches are often lighter in tone than the standup, and the change in rhythm and location is refreshing. The sketches allow for some fun filmic tributes to the genre. In fact a few of the sketches are so well paced, almost innocent, yet so strange and sick, I started to feel like I was watching some sort of depraved Sesame Street.

A note on the cutaways to audience reactions: You see this all the time in concert footage, but here the filmmakers chose to leave in the shots of audience members who are clearly just not getting it. This is freaking hilarious. But that's what being a horror fan is like - it's a bit risky. You've got to brace yourself. Gerald Gerald Geraldson can be a fun challenging night out for the brave and the brash, going just to see how much you can take. Daring yourself and your friends to not be grossed out, daring to laugh at the horrors instead of running from them. Or maybe laughing while running from them is the best course of action.

Either way,this guy kills me.

The format and production value of this off the cuff piece is shot quite well and impressive. Having the skits interwoven to go along with the subject matter in the stand-up was easily enjoyable.

The supporting cast namely Ashley Hunking, did quite well in their performing roles.

The prerecorded footage were a pleasant throw back to old Grindhouse Horror performances. GGG's dark, sick, and twisted humour pushes the line between non-political correctness and the squeamishly vile.

I look forward to further releases and performances by this horrifically unique performer.

I have seen Gerald perform numerous times, and I love his work. A very unusual act, indeed. This film features lots of work previously unseen on stage, which is quite refreshing. One Night Stab is refined, and very professionally produced; fun for ghouls of all ages. Gerald says he is not a zombie, but I know a zombie when I see one. I wouldn't have this guy look after my dog or my cat, or even my goldfish. He might eat them. They might at least catch "Creepatitus", and then infect your kids. You must see the film to hear what the problem is with Gerald Gerald Geraldson, and find out what he says he actually is. Make sure you have someone to hold on to when you see this film - you will be frightened.

Sick, Dark, Twisted, Politically Incorrect...and most importantly very very funny and original!

Most stand ups lately have been the same, safe routines, but Mr. Gerald Gerald Geraldson has brought it with his own unique and twisted vision! Combining his unique stand up humor with horror and interaction with fans, with splices of vignettes/clips and even his "brother" made an appearance too, which all combined, were drop dead (pun intended) funny!It was great to see some cameos from well known internet personalities such as The Cine Masochist and even the guitar player from the great Canadian band Just Off The Grid made for some great laughs! Gerald is fearless and his love of everything horror made great entertainment for the night!

The use of black and white was a great look and a grand tribute to club stand ups, Carnival of Souls/Night of the Living Dead/Found footage and etc, it fit the stand up perfectly, as well as the atmosphere set by the fans and most importantly Gerald! Which in my opinion, is a true test of a entertainer to succeed on his own merits and Gerald has proved that he could!

I have been following Gerald Gerald Geraldson for about a year now and to see that he got a stand up special (on Halloween no less!) and to hear the laughter and gasps was fantastic! It is sure to be hit with many!

If you are a horror fan or just in general a movie fan, then you will love some of his references! I highly recommend Gerald Gerald Geraldson for those who love to have a great laugh, clap your hands, slap your knee, gasp in shock and have your jaw drop due to laughter...and terror!

I will be attending some Gerald Gerald Geraldson's stand ups or specials in both Canada and America hopefully soon, this stand up special makes me want to go sooner than later!!

Horror Comedy is how I would describe Gerald Gerald Geraldson's style of performance. It is "terrifying unique" at best. If you are having a hard time making up your mind about if you want to watch a comedy or a horror just watch "One Night Stab" and you will get two birds stoned at once :) I have seen Gerald perform on many occasions and can honestly say it is never a dull moment when you are a member of the audience. This film sums up what kind of sense of humour Gerald has developed over the years - shocking, hilarious, and creepy...all in one. The way this movie has stand-up as well as before and after Gerald is on stage, and the skits in between is an outstanding way to keep it entertaining as possible. The acting throughout this film by Gerald and all the rest of the cast members involved couldn't be anymore real as they come. The expressions and tones in voice make it that much more shocking and hilarious. I suggest turning the lights off and watching this with good friends to have good laughs and for a whole new horror comedy experience. You will not find this brand of stand-up anywhere else. I hope to see more and more Gerald Gerald Geraldson in the future!
