Michael Che: Shame the Devil

We chuckled a few times. We were slightly amused at times. The left coast audience seemed eager to laugh at anything, maybe to get their minds off their terrible conditions. This is not a comedian we would ever pay to see.

I can laugh at most viewpoints and perspectives but the jokes have to come first. This isn't exactly a woke special, but it feels like it's in the same vain. Too many comedians are trying to speak truth and sneak in jokes here and there. I think it's better if the truth you wish to speak is snuck in between the jokes. I was rooting for him but after the halfway mark I realized he wasn't setting anything good up, this is just the special. Turned it off after 30 minutes.

The bravest performance of a come back after five years I have ever seen. After seeing Carline on stage in person five times I will put Michael Che there. Michael is seamless and heartfelt with delivery of the greats I have watched him on SNL but this was a true delight.

Sincerely, John Fitzgerald Bruce.

I think the reviews here are a bit harsh. The show was better than what I read here. I didn't like everything, and started to have serious doubts when he began to rant about only vaccinated people could attend his show, but in all fairness, and that even if I totally disagree with some of his viewpoints, I had some good laughs afterwards. Mostly because of his sarcastic jokes, which in my humble opinion are always the best, but even with the inevitable racism jokes that have to be told by black comedians. I'm always waiting for those jokes, and they are most of the time spot on and funny, but let just say they are very predictable when you are watching a black comedian. I totally get it that they want to joke about it, I'm just waiting to see one black comedian that won't do any jokes about that. That said, Shame The Devil isn't that bad at all, that is if you get sarcasm.

It started off very slowly and I was wondering when Che would start telling jokes. And then it reached stratospheric levels. I laughed for most of the show. If you prefer low-brow, slip and fall jokes, genital jokes this special isn't for you.

Comedy is special in the fact that you want someone else to say the stuff you can't say out loud or publicly. If you get easily offended, this special isn't for you. Some of his jokes, you'll have to watch/listen again to get the meaning. You laugh and think at the same time, which is his brand of humor. It's not for everyone.
