Kevin James: Irregardless

I stopped watching, I needed something in the background while playing a simple game. So overall he can talk good, he tries to get the story alive. But after a while it is getting boring.

So someone is saying or asking something 'stupid', so the first time it is a funny answer back. The second time it is a long dragging story. Can it be funny? Yes, but not like this.

He is not using sex or anything, so that is nice. Maybe later on... I don't know. So that's why I don't give it a 3. It is also not totally bad, it can be fun, but it is just the same talking over and over again. Explaining situations the same way.

I never watched King of Queens when it was a hit show. I know he grew up in my neck of the woods, but not much more than that. I am not normally a big fan of Kevin James' standup, but this one is very good. He does a good job of talking in a relaxed and natural manner about parenting and about growing up in the 1970's. He manages to be very funny without being vulgar, or sexual. His storytelling ability is very good. I enjoyed how self-effacing he was. He does a good job of managing the stage and the audience. He has matured into a very good storyteller and a very good stand up comedian. I enjoyed it.

I'm a huge Kevin James fan. I could watch King of Queens every day for the rest of my life. He made me laugh so hard on that show, constant entertainment. So I was really excited that he had a new stand up special and I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I think I only laughed once. I probably smiled a couple of times but that was it. It just wasn't funny. It wasn't that I was offended, as some other reviewers suggest. I just did not find it funny. It was mostly jokes about parenting that have already been done a million times and just wasn't anything fresh or interesting. He wasn't even funny with the physical bits like he was on KoQ. He seemed to be trying way too hard and I missed that effortless way he used to make me laugh. It's a disappointing no from me.

I prefer to see Kevin in TV and films. However, watching him in standup comedy format is fantastic as well. The comedic stories were entertaining and sounded more like family TV episodes in comedy club format. I guess the other episodes will be in the same format. We'll see. Loved the intro walk-on music. He comes on stage like a boss in smoke but has trouble breathing for the first 10 minutes. I have been a fan of Kevin James for 15 years, enjoying his unique style in shows like King Of Queens, Kevin Can Wait, and his family-oriented Hollywood films. The ending with all the fans and producers is wonderful stuff! His last two movies have similar type endings. Fun, festive and lets all party like regular human beings in life type of vibe.

I'm surprised to see this so poorly rated. I am a big fan of Kevin James and thought it was funny. Unlike a lot of "modern" comedians, Kevin Doesnt bother being political or telling "safe" jokes. He's never offensive either, but he calls out easy current generations have it and how soft our society has become. Kevin is older now with kids, so naturally his comedy reflects this. Kevin has also lost a lot of weight from his The King Of Queens days, and it's great to see him branching out from of his food and fatty comedy now that he takes care of himself. My only gripe is he spends the last chunk of his comedy talking about the wife, and while not offensive or anything, it just drags on a bit much that it's no longer funny.
