Al Madrigal: Shrimpin' Ain't Easy

The funny thing about bad reviews for stand-up comedy shows is that they always complain about the use of politics. Let's just say the 'right' has no sense of humor at all or has just a very low tolerance for irony, it's always them complaining, I never saw it the other way round. First of all comedy should be about anything and everything, you have to be able to laugh about anything, because it's just a joke, it isn't real. Second of all Al Madrigal's show wasn't very political at all so disliking his show with these poor arguments is pretty sorry. That you don't find it funny is one thing, but here that political argument just doesn't make any sense at all. Anyway, this was my first and certainly not last show from Al Madrigal. He's a good storyteller, easy to listen to, nice vocabulary and a good stage presence, but most importantly good jokes and anecdotes. I just watch a stand-up comedy to laugh a bit, have a bit of fun, and that's exactly what I got with this show, some good laughter and easy entertainment. Note to myself for the next time I get really mad: just go buy some shrimps.

The show is not funny, and when are the comedians going to learn that we don't want to hear their political views. We watch them so they make us laugh not lecture us about politics.Don't waste your time.

This special is, by quite some way, the most originally funniest experience I have had in more than 25 years. I'm still laughing several days after seeing it. It is worth seeing more than once and if I could buy a DVD of this special, I would. I'd give Al 15 stars if I could.

Thank you Al!

Understated and hilarious. So so funny. I loved his perspective and storytelling style.

Weaker then first special but still very good. would recommend to an older audience. if you didnt watch the first one- its a Must See.
