Tom Segura: Disgraceful

First off: Don't listen to these dumb comments giving Tom a freakin one out of ten. Like, are you joking me? Because he made TASTEFUL jokes about Downsyndrome and wasn't even directly making fun of them.

Anyway, that out of the way, he's found a way to do less and say more. What I mean is: he's more subtle and somehow more funny. His timing is masterful. His expressions are genuinely funny and truthful. His set is fresh af. I loved it. And I'm very critical of stand ups. It does help that I've been a Tom fan for years.

PS- He lost the weight! Yes!

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.

I don't get the whole "thing" about the word "retarded" in this special. politically correct puffed up anger is so tiresome. have a fucking sense of humor - it's a brief mention of why the use of the word is now different (along with gay and midget, btw), and nothing anywhere like the hate speech that's being portrayed as. calm down people. the hour is damn funny.

This was a disappointing stand up, there were some good bits, but I found myself forcing laughs rather than coming naturally like his first two specials did. If youre new to Tommy Buns watch "Completely normal" and "mostly stories" theyre amazing.

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.
