Tim Dillon: A Real Hero

Covid is a beat up subject. Nothing worse than when comedians talk about Joe Rogan in their own specials. Thats just as beat up. The cruise but was great and original. The rest just seemed to be outdated, easy subject to rant on. I love Tim. I never miss a podcast. He could have done A LOT better than this. 5/10.

I personally love tim, listen to his podcast every week and love his sense of humor. I might have set my expectations a bit high bcuz of how good of a ranter he is, and the fact that's all improvised for the most part. Considering that, i thought with more structure it woulda packed a better punch. Don't get me wrong i still laughed pretty good at some points but i don't think this was at his full potential.

While I love the comedy he's creating on stage, his rhythm is obviously affected from this auditorium that completely adore him;which causes more applause breaks rather than genuine laughter,which kills the special. Feel bad for the guy but hopefully he bounces back with another special with a crowd that doesn't worship him,and instead just tries to go to laugh at a comedian,like we used to back in the day.

Let me preface this by saying I'm a huge fan of Tim Dillon and his podcast is one of the best things on the internet. Unfortunately however, being funny in one setting doesn't always translate to another and Dillon's stand-up is a good example of this.

Very much like Bill Burr (also much funnier off the cuff than doing scripted shows), Dillon comes across as a bit of a ranting Facebook boomer with the increasingly tiresome anti-woke jokes. And yes wokeness is societal cancer but it seems like every comedian is making the same old jokes about it in a weak attempt to be edgy.

Dillon's humour works best in an intimate setting with a guest or two and his hilarious producer Ben who's background giggling is the perfect complement to the material. Alone on stage he seems a bit lost and it felt like a constant battle to keep the crowd onside. Certainly had it's moments but compared to his podcast this is pretty lame stuff.

Tim deserves the stage hes now on as he speaks the truth on todays society... You tell the real story of what's going on in this world and the audience will laugh.. just look back on George Carlins stand ups...

Tim deserves everything he can get for being truthful and having self respect...
