Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy

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.

I don't normally review content on IMDb, but I had to for this one. Ronny brings a worldly perspective not unlike that of Trevor Noah that I only started to cultivate after leaving the US, living abroad, and seeing things from the outside looking in. Might be harder for Americans who never leave to appreciate those aspects of the special. I came to checkout whether folks indeed took to their keyboards to review this special and I was not disappointed. And this special did not disappoint me either. 8/10 stars.

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.

Ehhh...it was okay with a few chuckles every now and then. We've seen this kinda content from him before and from others before, so it wasn't anything new. Play it in the background while you cook or clean.

An hour went by quickly which is a good sign for me, I felt it got better towards the end. Highlighting the culture of unqualified and overly critical so what online bullying in a funny way was excellent and a very real issue.

Those that gets pissed off about the UK joke and Mr bean needs to relax as that was part of the joke too. - I am British btw! Do you not think that one or 2 bad experiences from one or 2 encounters resulting in open hatred is not a problem in society? People do it all the time, try to understand the paradox- do you think you can make these points as funny if not funnier yourself? I mean you might not like the jokes but 1 or 2 stars is just unjust lol. I do prefer his other work more but I appreciated this one too. Yellow lives matter my friends!
