Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy

It was repetitive to a point that it was a bit annoying, I understand where he was coming from with certain jokes and such but left me feeling somewhat uneasy. Did have good jokes but felt more worn out than some of his older work.

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.

I've been waiting for this special for weeks, and while I'm glad I watched it, I prefer his past work.

Ronny's performance is decent, but is not as harmonious, or humourous, as his previous Netflix special. To me his demeanor seems rather tense, frustrated at times, and in certain parts he's almost nervous. I laughed several times, but I also had several moments when I felt uncomfortable. I'm not easily offended, so I ultimately enjoyed the show, and I see myself watching more of Ronny's comedy specials if he releases them.

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.

The whole time it just felt like rather than telling jokes, he was showcasing his anger toward anyone who isn't far-left. The material didn't exactly age well with the "science" either. I really enjoyed his 2019 special but this one just isn't it.
