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.

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

This dude is on a whole other level. Original and fun. Always fun to watch.

The title says it all. Not my title. His title. Disgraceful. But amazing and hilarious. Tom is very talented and great on every special I've seen to where I've gone back and watched a few of them multiple times. They're just solid. Without a doubt one of my top three comedians to watch. And if anyone gets offended by anything, it's your own fault for not reading the title, it said what you're walking into.

Tom Segura is one of my favorite comedians because of the understated way he delivers his jokes. It gives him a ceiling in the sense that he is never going to get on stage and blow anyone away, but while other comedians make me laugh, Tom can make me giggle with the delivery of some of his jokes. His topics are fun, relatable, down to earth, and they don't get old with re-watches. This is about as solid as it gets when it comes to a stand-up performance. I would be extremely happy leaving this event if I were in the crowd. Some of his jokes are even my type of humor, but his delivery is so elite that they get laughs out of me anyway.
